who’s actually kept the weight off after water fasting?

so lately, i’ve been thinking about going on a water fast–possibly starting soon as possible. i just wanna lose a little bit of weight. i’m almost 5’2” and 130lbs. i was 115 last year, so it sucks [almost makes me sick] to look at the extra weight i’ve gained in a year. when i lost weight 2 summers ago, the weight stayed off for as long as a exercised and counted my calories. IT ALL CAME BACK, though, after i went back to my old eating habits. i’m tried of this, but i know there’s really know way to keep it off when i’m eating everything appetizing in sight like a staight up pig.

but anyways, back to water fasting. i’ve got a few questions. first of all, everytime i hear someone say they’re water fasting or thinking about it, someone always seems to say, ‘no, don’t, you’ll gain it all back.’ is that TRUE? i wanna know–who on here has actually water fasted, lost weight, and actually KEPT IT OFF? i don’t wanna waste my time if it’s all gonna come straight back. is there anyway to make it… not come back? like, what if i slowly ease into eating again once i’m done fasting. JUST as an example, say after it’s over, i eat…a sandwich the next day. then the second day, i eat a sandwich + fries. third day, i eat a sandwich + fries + macaroni. if i did something like that [not exactly those foods, but you get it...] would the weight still come back? i mean, who has really had good weight loss success from water fasting?

Weight Watchers points system info online?

A few years back, I used the Weight Watchers point system with great success!
I’ve put on weight, and really want to work on eating habits, and think this would be an awesome way to curb it in a good direction.
However, after several moves, I seem to have misplaced the booklet.

So, does anyone know where I can find a cheat sheet online, either a website, Word or PDF file with the allowance vs. weight chart, points for food guide, OR a Point Calculator?

Thanks so much in advance!!

Question about exercise and calorie reduction?

I am changing my lifestyle and eating healthy! I’ve completely changed my eating habits. No fast food, fried food, white starches, candy, cake, soda, etc. With this, I am attempting to lose weight. I have reduced my diet to about 1300 cals per day.

My question is: To lose weight-should I try to burn more than the 1300 cals in a day? Or is just burning some of the 1300 cals ok? I’ve started doing about 30-40 minutes of cardio per day (in addition to regular activity like walking, dancing). Can anyone give me insight on what to do to maximize my weight loss?

I really would like to embark on a 40 day water fast for weight loss and to detox. After wards I plan on switching to a raw vegan diet. Given the fact that I am changing my eating habits, is water fasting an effective weight loss method?
I would like to lose at least 40 pounds I currently weight 130 and am 5’1.
While on my fast I plan to go on an hour long walk everyday.

What are some good calorie-counting or nutritional books?

I’m looking to change my eating habits and adopt a more healthy lifestyle. I would like to get a calorie-counting book or a book that has information on calories, fat, protein, etc for a large variety of foods. What are the best ones out there?
