Juicing Forum

Today is the day...I've started my 10-day juice fast. I had my morning juice of 1 apple, 2 pears, and a little ginger. It tasted really good! I'm starting out at 183lb (5'4" tall). My ultimate goal is to drop about 45-50 pounds but my goal for this fast is to reset my body and get a jump start on my weight loss. Let me back-track. Before I got married I lost about 20 pounds and got myself down to 150. That fall hit and I became sedentary and gained about 25 pounds over the winter. I tried to lose weight again while my husband was deployed and made it down to 168 when he came home. Then I got pregnant and lost a few pounds during the morning sickness period but rebounded up to 217 by the time I gave birth last 1 August. After 54 hours of labor they had pumped a significant amount of fluid in me and I left the hospital at the same 217 I went in as...Sans 9-lb baby! Fortunately, I lost about 45 pounds in 3 weeks and was almost down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Out of exhaustion, busyness with a new baby, and job stress I gained weight again and wound up around where I'm currently at...183. I just stopped nursing a few weeks ago and I really want to get started losing weight before the baby turns 1 here in less than 2 weeks. I'll be following the meal plan in the book Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Thank you all in advance for your support and I hope some of you join me!

Thank you, JOJ! I really appreciate the support!
