I started tracking my weight for 2 weeks. I joined a gym and was going at least four times a week. working 5 miles on the bike and 2 miles on the elliptical and a few abdominal exercise each day. Last week I took a break and went on a short trip and this week I'm trying to catch up with daily activity that has been over looked (house hold chores). I started the lemonade detox and it was hard to follow due to my work schedule. I was able to complete only 4 days but lost approx. 8 lbs. I feel lighter, alert and energized. I may try it again and shoot for ten days.

    Why not try some healthy eating instead of a detox fad?

    It's a lot easier to maintain, and I bet it's easier to do. I doubt 8 lbs will stay off losing it that way, but to each his own! Good luck!

    I agree with a healthy diet fad diets dont work feel free to send me a request to be a buddy here is my story ...


    WElcome this is my story


    Since January between P90x and Turbofire I have lost 19 inches!!!
    Would would like to do the same?

    This is my story

    Hello my name is Angel and I am 39 year old former couch potato
    I have struggled with my weight and have tried every fad diet there was and hated working out, I wanted that quick fix. A year ago heavier and out of shape I decided to try P90X however I never changed my diet and 66 days into I gave up I didnt see the results I wanted after that I continued to put on more weight after seeing some pictures of myself I said enough is enough and like everyone else on the planet in January I decided to lose weight and exercise after losing 20lbs through healthy eating I did some walking and other DVDS at home but it just wasn't cutting it. I would see the commercials and I thought I need to try that P90X again and finish it this time! After week one I thought what was I thinking I could barely do the push ups on my knees I hurt everywhere and never thought I would get better or even finish I would see myself in the mirror working out many times I cried. I kept pushing play!!! I got stronger I was bringing it! Push ups well I can bust out 100 right now if you would like :) If I can do this anyone can! I then passed the fit test for Insanity and have been doing that and I hate it and love it all at the same time. I love having muscles I love being strong I love being healthy. I graduated from P90X in August 2012 and I am so proud! and I want to help others so I became coach and began my 2nd workout Turbofire, I was scared at first because I have no coordination but I fell in love with the program and the music and I will see this through to the end 20 weeks :) I finish it before my 40th Birthday in December and I cant wait to start another program, my goal is to do all of them
