[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started out about 30 pounds over my ideal weight. Started getting serious about exercising about 2 months ago and I work out for 40 minutes, 5 days a week at my office gym. I stopped making excuses and just started going. Now, it's my routine and I enjoy taking that break in my day. Even with the new plan and cutting back (but not as much as I probably should've), I lost about 4 pounds in 1.5 months. It was SLOW going.

I decided to start juicing during the weekday. Yesterday marked me entering my third week of my new plan and I've lost an additional 8 pounds. I love the flexibility of sticking to this plan during the week and relaxing a bit on the weekends (without overdoing it). Going to continue with this method until I reach my goal weight loss and switch to juicing for breakfast only because I enjoy getting tons of veggies/fruits in a quick way. And my skin has never been clearer![/quote]
Great job! When you do your juicing do you get any other food or just juice?[/quote]

Thanks! I should also note that while I've lost 12 lbs, I *really* see the difference in the way I look. My face and thighs are much slimmer. I haven't taken my measurements, but I can feel/see the difference.

What I usually eat during the week:

Juice consisting of some mixture of the following: kale, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, strawberries, grapes, watermelon, pineapple, mango. I don't use all in one juice blend. I use various combinations, but the goal is to use more veggies than fruit.

I drink my juices 3 times a day and also have:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs
Lunch: 1 piece of baked chicken or fish, 1 slice of wheat bread 
Dinner: 1 piece of baked chicken or fish, 1 slice of wheat bread. Lately, I've really been craving something sweeter so instead of chicken/fish, I'll have: yogurt, peanuts and apples. It's really good and filling.

While it may not seem like a lot, the juices REALLY fill you up and you won't be hungry after the first 2 days or so. I enjoy the taste of the juices (and the knowledge that I'm taking in veggies/fruits) so much that I even do it on the weekends for breakfast.

What are you doing for fiber? If I ate like this I would be so constipated.[/quote]

LOL; that was a worry for me to but the bread (whole-wheat) and nuts help a lot. So does taking in fiber-rich foods on the weekends. I toyed with the idea of mixing a fiber powder in my juices, but I'm able to "go" about 2-3 times a week without any signs of constipation, so I haven't had to do that but it's an option.

See, if I ate this way I would not be constipated.  I would be shitting my brains out.  I can't do too much juice or I can't leave the bathroom.[/quote]
