Juicing Forum

Day 2 today. Down 3.5 lbs this morning! I actually feel well. No headache, just a little groggy. I was only able to get down about 50 ounces of juice due to time constraints but I feel fine and I did drink a lot of water. Hunger pains are not too frequent. So feeling very good and going to keep on trucking. 2 days down!

donnie,

i realized what my problem was and it is grief that i am dealing with over a pet. i have no kids and she was my best friend. my wife helped me figure it out. i put down my last jack russell terrier several weeks ago and i am still not over it and it hit me hard the last 3 days so i know it is not the juicing. i only drank 3 small juices yesterday because i did not care about eating. thanks for the support. day 10 or 11 and down 12 pounds and feel okay.

thank you donnie,

that means a lot. i had one juice and i felt compelled to drum and just did an hour and i feel fine. there is no sick feeling. i know i need a juice now to get more nutrients back into my system but things look better now. thanks for the note! it uplifted me.

sincerely,
andy

day 11 or 12 and down 12 pounds! this juicing really works! thanks donnie!

Update:

Day 5 and I am down 8.5lbs! Very excited. Feeling pretty good but I am not getting enough juice in each day so I know that is one reason why I am not feeling even better. I am going through a stage where I am having difficulty drinking over 40 ounces per day. I am not much of a sweets person so it is difficult when adding fruit to my juice to not make it too sweet. I would love the all veggie if I could add salt! I am going through recipes to get some new ideas because I have a long ways to go. I have also been walking about 30 minutes in the evenings so I know I need to drink more juice. Hope everyone is doing great!

5 days down, 25 to go (unless I decided to go on and in that case, 55 to go).

Congrats on day 12 of your juice fast and 14 pounds lost Andy! That's such a great achievement!

Uronurse, Congrats on 5 days and nearly 9 pounds lost! Make sure you listen to your body and have juices only when you're hungry. If 3 of them day fills you up then don't worry about forcing another one. Only have more if your body is telling you that it's hungry and time for another one.

thanks uronurse and the same for you. i am glad you husband is supportive because my wife is not really. i cook her dinner and lunch and it is hard but i love her. she could lose 125 pounds and needs too badly for health reasons. i feel that is making my mental health better which i have had problems with for almost my whole life. keep going and respond back with results,gripes,etc.

sincerely,
andy

she works hard as a school teacher and i work at home so i owe it to her. good for you. you are losing quicker than me! do you have any soup recipes?

day 14 or 15 and 17 pounds down. i can't believe i have not chewed any food in over 2 weeks! you have to pray for that willpower!

great job pattirob and your husband! keep it up.

Welcome to JOJ and congrats on starting your juice fast tomorrow Laura! Let me know if you have any questions.

congrats to you! i didn't believe this when i heard about it but i am a firm believer now and you can always use this if you gain a few pounds in the future! take care.

well, i have not heard from many people who started on the 12th. i have lost almost 25 pounds and i feel great except still having some lack of energy at times. tomorrow makes it 3 weeks officially and i am ready for 5 or 9 more weeks to get to my goal. it is easy to do this. i still make my wife lunch and dinner and it looks good but i know how i will feel if i eat it so it does not bother me. i can even watch cooking shows and diner's,drive-in's,and dives or whatever and i know i can't have it so it does not bother me but i like watching it.

i went to the grocery store today and the bag guy who was 72 said, ''do you own a restaurant?'' i said that i was juicing and he said, ''no solids?'' and i said correct so he looked at the other stuff and looked at my wife and said, i guess this is for you which was pizza,chicken,chips,oatmeal,yogurt,deli meat, and i just laughed. he said he had given to his sister, a jack lalane juicer and that she loved it.

i felt good saying that i was juicing instead of feeling weird. please update us on all of your progress and take care and god be with you as he gave me the will power to do this!

sincerely,
andy
