What kind of success do you expect? Weight loss from only drinking juice? Why? Liquid special food teaches you nothing about eating the right amount of food to maintain weight, and once you stop you're likely to regain weight. Plus it can be low in fats and protein (essential fatty acids, brain function, digestion, and muscles), very high in sugar, and many people don't feel full on liquid food.3

This approach may result in temporary weight loss, but this change is rarely long-lasting.
I'd try setting up your goals on MFP and eat the right amount of food to reach these goals, while logging carefully. Do this for 6 weeks and review where you are, you may like the results.2 -
Juicing discards most of the fiber in the fruits and vegetables.
If you really want to drink your calories, consider just blending them instead, so at least you get the benefit of the fiber. This also allows you to add some fat and/or protein to your drink (think yogurt, milk, peanut butter, protein powder, etc)6
