zara13 20 Aug

what time does it finish i cant think what time ?

shay 20 Aug

amber- im 12 & i gave up food. I have already finished. It wasn't easy of course, but reading the stories on this website about kids from countries the money raised will be going to really drove me to do it. Everytime i felt really hungry, i just thought about them, & how hard they have it. Everytime its getting tough, i just thought about what a good cause it is, & raising the money, is really helping change the world! GOOOOD LUCCCK.

Jordy 20 Aug

maddie c 21 Aug

feeling peckish... i'm sitting in the other room from my family to avoid staring at them eating breakfast; but i forgot to buy barley sugars, so i haven't had anything but a cup of tea for 14 hours! i'm worried that when i go to my dancing class at 1pm i might pass out, but we'll see. loving the fact that the first time i'll eat after the famine is at a luncheon for my brother's footy club... i'll be stuffing my face more than the boys! good luck to everybody else! this is such a great cause, i hope we all raise tons of money! xoxo

Tiannahh 21 Aug

I am sorry. I couldn't last longer than 21 hours. I worked last night on an empty stomach & I need to work again today, my work is overly warm inside and I am afraid of passing out. In the 21 hours I didn't eat I got a real feel of how people feel, but obviously it would be worse. I am sorry I couldn't complete the challenge and good luck to everyone else. You are legends!

Vicky 21 Aug

Manning 21 Aug

@hayliee Well ultimately it is up to you. There are no set rules as it says on the health and safety page, but they do say when giving up food you are aloud to have a barley sugar every now and then ust to keep your blood sugar up :) (so you don't die from low blood sugar) and you can drink water, juice or mineral water.

Madeline 21 Aug

If I don't talk in the next 5 seconds i am going to EXPLODE! 1..2...3...4...5, Don't.. give.. in...to... ex...plosian... FWOOMP!!!! LOL:D

My mouth is literally salivating at any thought of it and my stomach keeps grumbling :/ Barley sugar is not helping at all and I'm kind of getting sick of the taste! On top of that, I had to play tennis today and I have a game tomorrow! I would just like to say good luck to everyone who are also going without food, because we need it!!

Jazzi to Dean 21 Aug

Know how you feel. Had a netball grand final today, and was running around, half asleep. So tempted by the finals food, but held out. Telling my self 'only less than 24 hours to go' but BLURGH nearly dying. Nah, shouldn't say that, think of all those poor kids. Never mind. I'll hold out.

Manon 21 Aug

Hannah 21 Aug

I started the famine on Thursday and I finished about an hour ago. The sense of achievement that you feel at the end, knowing that you have made a difference is so worth it!

Sarah Grzentic 21 Aug

wow, so we're past the 20 hour mark... it's not as bad as i thought it was going to be. im going without food and sure im hungry, my stomach is bloated and im pretty sure my body is looking for any energy source it can get by now; but when you think about how it's only another 19 hours and 45 mins to go... it's not that bad. Every day people suffer, i cannot begin to imagine how hard it is for them and we're only doing 40 hours here! Everybody just needs to suck it up and stick to it. Good luck! :) xx

Georgia :) 21 Aug

Mum and i walked into a cafe today for some lunch, but then i realized that i could not sit at the table and would have to sit on the floor to eat!(Doing furniture) I had to leave and have lunch at home instead. Goodbye hot chocolate... (P.S. Does a rug cound as furniture??)

Katie Marshall 21 Aug

Just past the half way mark, and I'm really hungry (as I'm doing food) but I know I can keep going because theres children all over the world starving too, and at least I know when my next meal will be. In fact I'm counting down the minutes.

Rachel Woodhouse 21 Aug

Hey guys, it's been 21 hours and 20 minutes since I started the 40 hour famine and the hunger is really setting in. It's been really hard for me because I was at my bestie'd B'Day party last night and they kept tempting me with food. Today we went down the street and they got something from maccas which means I had to go in with them. I kept my eyes closed and my nose blocked most of the time but I opened my eyes for a second and spotted a cookies and cream cheesecake. My favourite. I'm staying strong though and havent caved yet.:)

Christie xx 21 Aug

Its been 22 hours and 40 minutes in and never realised how lathargic not eating food makes you. have a stack load of year 12 homework that will have to wait till i can acctually function. Still great cause and would gladly do it again, I'm really starting to understand at a smaller scale how some of these people in developing countries are feeling. At least I have electricity, clean water and the occasaional barley sugar to keep me going.

Hey everyone. I am going for 40 hours without food and speaking. Although it's tough I'm not complaining; there are people all over the world who go with food and a voice (metaphorically) every day of their lives. Good luck everyone! Keep in mind that by doing what you are doing you are helping people who really need it and don't give up!!!

rach95 21 Aug

how's everyone feeling so far?? not too long to go now so don't give up:) im not as hungry as i thought i would be, but i think its really going to get to me while im trying to sleep tonight knowing that by the time i go to bed it will have been over 24 hours since the last time i ate. stay positive and hang in there, remember how much these kids need us- for them, hunger, tiredness and sickness is a permantent state of being so we really can't complain, its just a great feeling to know that im doing something real :)

kathleen 21 Aug

thanks for the encouragement sarah it's funny how we start to complain without realizing that all the people around the world who don't have food don't get to have a feast sunday at noon...

Steph 21 Aug

i started at 8pm last night and i am not hungry yet so i am going good

Jim Parker 21 Aug

i have been without food for about 24 hours, feel a little light but doing well GO BALWYN HIGH AND KICK SOME ASS

Jim Parker 21 Aug

i have been tempted because my family have left food lying around and it is so annoying, it is making me real hungry

maddie c 21 Aug

okay, i've proved you can survive on 4 cups of tea and a few barley sugars AND go to dance class AND stop staring at the rest of your family eating. to be honest, my stomach has only audible growled about five times. i just hope i can go to sleep later and not have hunger pangs keeping me awake... good luck to everybody, lets raise tons of money! xoxo

Tamika 21 Aug

im 14 and at 8pm on friday night i gave up furniture and 2night at 8pm im giving up food. GOODLUCK to everyone else who is giving up something xxx :D

amy to maddie 21 Aug

dayna 21 Aug

I am givig up food and I started at 9:30pm last night (Friday) so I am finishing at 1:30pm tomorrow. I am 13 and had to dance for a whole 9 hours today so I had no energy and its really hard. I just have to keep telling myself why I am doing this and I am so happy that I am past half way! Never thought I could ever do this in a million years :) Only 18 hrs and 40 mins to go

Rosie 21 Aug

I am going without food until the 24 hour mark (another half an hour to go), then no shoes for the rest of the time.

Sarah 21 Aug

Wow this is crazy Im only just over half way and Ive lost 2 kg and everyone is making vampire jokes because im pale and not eating and im getting lots of cripple jokes too because I have my thumbs taped up... I have actually moved them in over 20 hours.... It doesnt feel like I have thumbs anymore! Plus my mother is tempting me she sat a cake on the table and said that I can have some whenever I want.... It smells so good but I just have to think of the children and thats keeping me going!

kathleen 21 Aug

you can do it bob!!! on the homepage there are options to read about where the money goes to and it's definitely an encouragement!! to "amy to maddie" i think you can drink tea if it has no sugar or milk... (which in my opinion is gross :) but smells delicious!!) good luck everyone you can do it!!! - if you try and sleep in tomorrow then you'll be able to have breakfast!! :D

zoe 21 Aug

im crying coz i gave in but i have stopped eating now! but please help me!

maddie c to amy 21 Aug

yeah, i've done the famine for a few years, and you can eat barley sugars every couple of hours, and drink tea, water and juice. thats just coz we're not used to going completely without nutrition, so we don't get sick or anything. good luck to you.

Lara 21 Aug

Im 23 hrs and 55 min in and im barley hungry definitely worth itso much funn :)

Madeline 21 Aug

O my goodness. i am soooo glad i didn't give up food. i think i'll just stik 2 no talking & no thumbs , sigh, i wish that it was 2:00! then i could talk again , it is tortureing me. but then i think about little Sami in Kenya, & that is the reason my thumbs have lost their ciculation.

Madeline to: zoe 21 Aug

I am very sorry 2 hear that you gave in, but keep going everybody makes mistakes:]

Lachlan 21 Aug

Hi, its now Saturday night and I realise this was not the best weekend to go WITHOUT FOOD!! Our church had a huge potluck lunch, we also had a family and friends party at Aunty's place (with cakes, pies, popcorn etc), plus our church group had arranged a letterboxing day for this afternoon!! My dad says that the poor kids in Africa dont get a choice when they have to go without food, so for their sake it is worth it - ....still hungry though! good luck to all ;)

Sarah 21 Aug

It's been a very hard and long time without food, I spend my weekends stuffing my face normally and I'm struggling to resist lol.. I'm not even that hungry anymore, It's just knowing that I can't eat that makes me want food lol. But hey - It's for a good cause so I'll keep going :) Good luck everyone ! ♥

Daniel 21 Aug

Because I was only doing 24 hours I was FINALLY aloud to eat 41 minutes ago! I had my dinner (sausages & rissoles!) and desert (ice-cream & fruit salad) and I'm still hungry from 24 hours with no food! I went to an end of footy season thing with my footy team. We went bowling and everyone else exept me and one other guy, who was also doing the famine, ordered delicous food and kept teasing me! It was really annoying! But it was all worth it and, let me tell you guys, nothing beats the feeling at the end of the famine! Keep it up everyone! Nice work and well done for doing something REAL!

charmaine 21 Aug

Its been 26 hours and forty minutes, it hasnt been to bad so far, I guess its all down hill from here, its starting to feel like everyone around me is eating but I just think who I am doing it for and why, I'm trying so hard to get donations, I really want to make a diference, as I have giving up food, I'm not sure how to document it, so idk, anyway good luck everyone :D

Megan 21 Aug

my sister is having her 21st birthday party at our house tonight and it was so hard when all the pizzas arrived! and when they cut the cake and started handing out pieces and everyone kept saying how good it was! so far so good though, i've stuck to it and havn't caved. thank god for barley sugars! i've been trying not to have too many but i'm just so hungry. i've never been this hungry in my life and it really makes me feel for all those that suffer through this every day of their lives. it just makes me more determined to not give in and to raise as much money as i can. i think it's time for another barley sugar! yum :)
