Juicing Forum

Hi all,

My name is Chaz and I'm from the UK.

I have been juicing and exercising every other day since January 6th 2014 now day 19.

My start weight 345Lbs my weight as of today 320Lbs

My problem is that I weighed in today and I'm 2Lbs heavier than last week 😕

I bike and/or walk every other day and not a morsel of solid food has passed my lips since January 5th.

I'm juicing 5 times a day with 18oz each juice with the recommend 80% vegetables and 20% fruit.

I feel a tad disappointed and I understand there maybe be a plateau period and I'm hoping this is it.

Is this normal? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Guys I know I'm contacting you from the UK but I guess we're all going through the same plight. Would love to hear from anyone to say hi and maybe give me some advice

Cheers guys and kind regards

Chaz 😡 😕

Hey Larrie,

Nice make your acquaintance Good luck to you on your journey and make sure you hang in there. I found my first week quite tough but now its a breeze I'm feeling better all round, more energy and sleeping so much better. Not too sure how long I am going to go for on this juicing, I'm thinking 40. If I get there and feel ok I'm gonna push further on (from small acorns mighty oaks grow) In my case shrink though:)

Hey Chaz,

Firstly congratulations on your 25 lb loss!! That's excellent! I'd love to hear what more knowledgable people have to say about this, sorry, but you are living my worst nightmare! I've thought about that happening, all that work and nothing, I can imaging how frustrating that must be. I have been on the diet roller coaster all my adult life, my only suggestions would be: give it some time, a 25 lb loss is a lot in a short period of time, it could be your body getting accustomed to it. If it keeps going on then I'd suggest you change something. You could try a a different exercise, or change the time of day you're doing it. I've heard switching up what you're doing helps. If you don't mind going more extreme you could do a master cleanse for 2-3 days to kick start your body back into the momentum. (It's pretty much just drinking a lemonade made from water, 1/2 lemon, cayenne, and a bit of maple syrup.) Google it. You'd only drink this for 2-30 days. Personally, i wouldn't do it too long, just long enough to see the scales moving again. Let me know if you try it. And like I said before, I'd love to hear what others have to say about chaz's dilemma . Best of luck, you're doing great!

Chaz, so great to hear!!! Yay!!! You know you are giving inspiration to us all:) Congrats!

I just finished my first week, 13.8lbs down! Hey, question, even after your 5th day or so, did you feel weak? I find even lifting my arms to be exhausting, and I've gotten so lightheaded at times I feel like I'm going to pass out. Exercising is out of the question as that just intensifies it. If I was reading this, my advice would be to drink more juice, however I'm not hungry at all, just weak. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks Chaz:) BTW, what's a kip?

Hi, and congrats on the great job. From a person who lost a lot of weight 90lbs I understand how you feel. I went thru the same thing. Your body get stronger and muscle weights more then fat. If you weighted yourself after a hard workout or if your muscle are sore it is swollen = water weight. So, keep up the good work, don't let it get you down. Change things up. Jasmin gave you good advice. I been doing the MC for 10 days and now I am easing out with the juicing fast.
