Answer

77 hours into what I think is a 80 hour water fast for weight loss. Feeling good, could continue but the plan has been to break the fast on Wednesday evening with an allegedly amazing salad before going back to fasting until Friday afternoon-ish.

Second (of many to come) week of doing the Sunday - Wednesday evening followed by a new one to Friday. Happy that the scale showed down 2.2 kg / 4.85 lbs from Friday morning until this morning so maybe not only a water weight drop since I should have lost some of that last week already.
