juice plus vs slimming world

Eat at a caloric deficit and put that baby in the stroller and move.

Juice plus is pills, not juice right?

I'm not doing either, but I just wanted to say your baby is adorable!

Since you have about 50lbs until your goal (according to your profile, you want to hit by July), that's about 10lbs a month, which may not be attainable especially close to your goal weight. You can start with 1.5lb/week loss set on here. Once you hit 40lbs left to lose, drop down to 1lb/week. Once you hit 25lbs left to lose, you're going to want to stick to 1lb a week (recommended if you want to try to finish up before the wedding), or go down to 5lbs a week. Once you are within 15lbs of your goal, you want to do .5lb/week.

Given that you probably have a dress as well, you need to factor in being able to fit into your dress, and fitting in any alterations and accounting for the time frame for that as well. You don't want to be losing up until the day before, because then you may not fit into the dress! Close to the wedding and after the dress is altered, you're going to want to focus on maintaining as best as you can.

I would focus on your baby first, on a calorie deficit, and getting in any exercise you can. Even something as simple as taking the baby for a walk with you can help you fit exercise in during the day, or walking around the house with the baby swaddled up against you. Juice Plus and Slimming World are both things that are going to drain your wallet without guaranteed results.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I'm glad I've had a lot of response and it's great to hear what everyone has to say. Like I said before the baby I lost 30lbs and to be fair would be happy to get back to that for my wedding, as a more real goal that's sustainable.

Thank you my little boy is six months old now and very cheeky. But a little diamond and treasure.

30lbs is definitely a more reasonable goal; in about four months with some accurate calorie counting and exercising, I definitely think that 20-30lbs of loss can be attainable! Do you have a food scale on hand? That will help you get calorie counts very accurate.

I would choose SW out of the two, but with reservations. You need to be careful with the free food, and limit the portion size. I love the recipes for savoury foods but some of the desserts are weird and overly reliant on sweeteners

I must admit there are some fantastic losses, but I found I struggled to lose more than a few pounds.

Look into online workouts or DVDs for when baby is sick. I have done some Jillian Michaels and some others online on days I can't go to a gym. I still feel very worked out. It is hard with little kids sometimes- it is hard to have the energy when up all night!

I am trying the juice plus x

Ive been doing Juice Plus since around May and have lost 2 and a half stone. For me, it helped to change the way I look at food, rather than lose weight really fast. It is probably really easy to do the same thing without the shakes tbh, but it was a motivational tool for me. After a couple of months I stopped being so restrictive with clean foods, and started eating balanced meals and recording on here, so that I was eating at a deficit. Ive tried weight watchers and got bored really quickly.

So for those who have tried Juice Plus, can you give me some insight into how you used the program? I just signed up to start with the 3 types of capsules daily. I was going to start with that and continue my food tracking and exercise (for which I use MFP). Perhaps if I hit a plateau in my 70 pound loss journey, I was going to add one or two shakes a day. I'm not really sure if the "cleansing" routine is for me, as dairy is on my list of favorite food. Any insights into how you adapted the program for your success will be appreciated!

If you stop losing, you're eating too much. Lower your calories slightly, and make sure you are weighing your food to track your intake properly. It's unnecessary to replace meals with shakes to lose weight.
