I ended my fast today at 50 hours. Just because.
Good luck with your fast Susan.

Like Bob mentioned it is the density that makes the difference. If you filled a 6ā cube with fat and another 6ā cube with muscle, the box of muscle will weigh more.
Or put another way - a box of a lb of fat would be larger than a box of a lb of muscle, even though they weigh the same.

Good going Susan, are you still going strong this morning and are continuing ?
Today is my off day, off from fasting that is. I will go 40 hours till 11am and end it. For my ADF that makes 104 hours this week of fasting, and 144 hrs last week, which is equivalent to 10 days plus. I canāt believe I did that, and that Iām planning on repeating this week.

Great going Susan, I like to end my fast for that exact same reason, haha. I told myself that I would never go longer than 48 hours, and that itās long enough, after trying a 72 hr fast once. Didnāt end happily, haha, enough said.

Start of a new week of fasting today, Monday Wednesday and Friday are fasting days (36 hr), and for this week the weekend will be full eat days, so a 4:3 routine. On my eat days I tend to eat the same thing, that is 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 pork patties for breakfast, and for dinner 8oz ribeye, 2 cheese burger patties, 1/2 lb chicken wings w sour cream, and a salad with romaine, bacon, oz of cheese, oil and acv as dressing. Pretty clean and about 3,000 kcal. Result for first two weeks on ADF , down 10.4 lbs. I thought I had already lost my water weight back in January, as I have been 6 weeks strict before hand but only lost 4 lbs. I think Iāll keep this up, canāt wait to see results for next two weeks.

After some usual chaos with midnight eating, I said enough and now I chill (if I try too hard, it never ends well. not like I feel I ever try hard but something in me is too sensitive, it seems. I still restrict myself and that part doesnāt like that) BUT make sure I will stick to IF every day. Itās my natural way, how hard can it be? Not at all, I donāt know what the problem was with me, some years ago I didnāt have this problem.
So now I do TMAD, my eating window is 3-5 hours long and I eat whatever and as much as I want (itās a complicated thing, I donāt expect it will be bad, I am a hedonist so I choose a woe that feels good), no tracking either. Sometimes being relaxed is the way to success, paired up with some determination, I have good habits as wellā¦ A decade on low-carb had a big effect on me, I am hopeful.
Did I say before that I gained fat lately and now I really focus on slimming down? And the size of my eating window is key. Well, one of multiple keys but maybe the most important one. I canāt even mess up the other things very much too often but I can eat in a big window every day. So its responsibility is high. Of course the different factors influence each other but a small eating window has the chance to work on every woe I am willing and able to do. My fasted state is special, one of my best tools against overeating.
So from now on (well, since yesterday. it was IF 19/5, typical TMAD. Saturday was worse but due to extremely rare early eating - 2 eggs in the morning as usual in such cases, fine with me - , not the feared late one, yay. that never should come back and I will be fine), I expect to have a small eating window every day and I hope in many OMAD and maybe some fasting days as well. My next Zornfast better be very successful! 
And due to fasting when itās late, I wonāt be nearly as prone to go off keto. Maybe I am like a gremlin but 11pm already works, midnight isnāt needed and water has no effect, thankfully, only food. And I donāt get destructive if we donāt count the harm I do to my own body (bad, bad hedonist! stupid compulsions).
I donāt want to be this critical to me in the near future, it must be done but I dislike seeing I was a bad hedonist. Itās the ultimate failā¦ I am watching an anime about the workings of the body too and it makes me to want to love my faithful hardworking parts even more. Sometimes we canāt love ourselves as a whole much enough (bad hedonist againā¦). But I donāt want to convert this into a psychiatrist session.
I am sorry, I have way too much thoughts now but I go into the right direction and I finally feel I can do it for long.
Good luck for this month too, everyone! I see @ctviggen makes 36 hour fasts now, congrats! Itās still far from me 
Once I ate too much and thought maybe I can skip a day as I didnāt really need fuel and itās nicer to rest a bitā¦ Nope.
But I wish to do it on next Zornfast!

Itās odd. I got so determined or something that I lost my interest in eating. What.
I do OMAD easily now, it comes naturally. I still get some kind of urge to eat every day so still no EF.
