Juicing Forum

Hey y'all!! So, I'm 39 years old, and I decided to make a bucket list for my 40th. I have been obese for as long as I can remember, and i smoked like a chimney too. Luckily, I didn't have any health issues as of yet, but felt it was only going to be a matter of time. Both of my parents are diabetic and have a slew of "conditions", and of course the truck load of pills to take care of it. I know I don't want to end up like that! I quit smoking last September, and now I want to focus on my weight. I'm 5'2", between 185-190 lbs, so I've got a ways to go! I've tried this a few years ago, one lasting 2-1/2 days, the other 5. This time I am committed to the long haul - 92 days. Anyone wanting to join in, even if you've already started or starting later than my date is fine. I'm hoping to give and receive support, because I know there are times where it's gonna get tough! All the best!

Hey Megan, so far so good! It was tricky cooking for my family and not being able to taste it, my hubby said it needed way more salt! Haha! They'll get used to it. How have you been? Is this your first time?

Hey Megan, hang in there, you bet it's worth it! Donnie has a great quote i like, "Hunger is just how your body tells you it needs nutrients. Juice is loaded with nutrients. Cravings are when your mind is telling you to eat out of habit, boredom or the enjoyment of it."
I know, I'm having cravings for solid food too, but I just try to think, "Am I really hungry?". I have not been hungry yet doing this, because I just drink juice when I am. Hope that helps, glad your hubby is so supportive! Mine is too, and it makes it so much easier. Hopefully, soon you will feel the energy juicing gives you, and you won't feel so blah:) It shouldn't take long now as you are on day 5 now right? What are your reasons for doing this? How long are you planning to go for?

Welcome Elizabeth! Best of luck on your start day tomorrow:)
