Anyone here ever done a juice diet?

[spyder]

I keep putting it off... Every time I but produce, we always end up using it for other foods...

2nd juice fast day 2 check-in:


Starting Weight: 290.8
Current Weight: 256.0
Previous Weight: 259.0
Lost since yesterday: 3.0
Total Weight lost: 34.8


Good start. As I recall I lost about 5lbs the first day of my last fast so maybe not quite as good but I have to admit, I was concerned this fast wouldn't have as good of results as I was hoping for. I was paranoid that this time around simply wouldn't work for me for one reason or another. I guess it was just misplaced paranoia but whatever. It was there. I'm relieved to see some decent results the first weigh-in after starting the fast. I think a lot of this was due to the fact that my hunger wasn't as much yesterday as it was the first day of my first juice fast. I had a couple small hunger pangs but nothing noticeable really. Maybe that's the causation of only 3lbs instead of 5lbs but another thing to take into account is I started this one at roughly 260lbs instead of 290lbs so the % was bound to be lower this time around. This was to be expected so I'd say I'm right on track for the goal with minimal hunger at this point. All in all a good start to the fast.

2nd juice fast day 5 check-in:


Starting Weight: 290.8
Current Weight: 251.6
Previous Weight: 252.4
Lost since yesterday: 0.8
Total Weight lost: 39.2

It's been a few days since I updated so here's an update. After my last update I lost 0lbs the next day and I think the next day was 0.2lb or 0.4lb so not even really worth reporting. Yesterday I lost a couple of pounds but had a busy day and forgot to post. At any rate I'm at about 7.4lbs lost since Monday so I'm on my way to my goal. I'm also closing in on another milestone and that's 40lbs lost total between my first juice fast in July, my diet since and my juice fast this time. The next one after that will be being in the 240's when I get under 250lbs. Should be an exciting few days!

What is your ultimate goal weight?

What is your ultimate goal weight?

Someone asked me that question the other day and to be honest I don't have an exact number in mind. I've been so fat for so long that I have a hard time visualizing what would be a 'healthy' weight but when I get there I'll probably know. I used to be very self conscious of my body back in the day when I was young and worked out in my early 20's. My girlfriend (now wife) took a pick of me once in a rare moment without a shirt at home when I exited the bathroom. I was embarrassed by it because I thought I was fat at the time. When I see it now I would pay handsomely to look like that again today. I worked out regularly and was active in addition so I was about 215lbs & about 10% body fat give or take (since methods weren't terribly accurate) and was strong. So, if I was forced to pick a number that would probably be it. I'm not sure how that would 'wear' today though since my muscle mass wouldn't be what it was then probably. I don't know. I'm hoping to lose about 20lbs this fast, take a couple of weeks off and then do another two-week fast before our trip to Hawaii. I guess if I just go by the #'s of what I expect (hope) to lose on these fasts coupled with what I've done so far that would put me at around 220lbs. How realistic that is I just don't know because I can only assume that as I got lower in weight the weight loss will be more difficult to come by so to be honest if I'm anywhere near 230-240lbs I think I would consider that a success since 240lbs would be a loss of 50lbs since only a few months ago. That isn't my ultimate goal but it's a great start and my healthier lifestyle is going to help me continue losing but as of right now I've got a more short-term goal to cut as much as possible for our trip to Hawaii. I'm sick of all the warm climate places we travel to (Miami, Cancun, SoCal, etc) and I don't want to hang out and enjoy it in the sun on the beach and such. I really just want to be able to take off my shirt while we're in Hawaii w/o feeling like a bloated wale that encompasses all that's wrong with this nation.

Does that answer your question? lol

[Irving]

Yes pretty much! LOL

[Jer]

Yes pretty much! LOL

Ok, good. lol

You guys still doing this?

You guys still doing this?

Not really, tried doing another 10 day cleanse, but just couldn't. I haven't gained any weight. I'm holding steady but I want to loose another 30 lbs this year. Still juice every week, don't eat as bad. Haven't had a 1500 calorie chipotle burrito since July 2013. Weekdays I usually eat a apple for lunch and a small dinner. Weekends are where I fuck up

Oh hell no. I fell off that wagon, got ran over by the wheels and stomped by the horses. Keep meaning to try again.....
