What's the best way to kickstart this weight loss??

Good old diet and exercise. There's no toxins that any juice cleanse is going to remove that your liver and kidneys can't do already, and it's not going to make you lose weight any quicker (not fat anyway, might make you lose more water weight, but you'll just put that back on as soon as you start eating proper food again). And I've seen lots of people say that they've never felt full on cleanses like that, or that it's left them with no energy.

Some people find that doing a cleanse like that helps them mentally, as in it makes them feel like they're really starting a new lifestyle and helps them be more motivated for it. If you find that might be the case for you then you could try it, but it really is just a placebo.

Totally agree with the above statements. I would also add many people want to jump start but small changes seem to work the best (walking more, having water with all your meals etc.) then when the moment is right you can try something that is more difficult.

I don't think any kind of cleanses, fasts, etc are necessary or even helpful. Cutting back on sodium will help you start losing the excess water weight faster, though. If it's feasible to exercise outdoors some of the time, I always find that helps psychologically. Get some fresh air and sunshine.

In addition to the above posters comments about cleanses (they don't work...you have kidneys that work just fine), in my opinion, the best thing you can do is to make a plan.

I've found it's a lot easier to have success if I'm able to meal plan, plan out my workouts, and make sure I'm surrounded by food that fits in with my goals and that I enjoy.

I make grocery lists for the upcoming week every Friday and Saturday morning. Then Saturday morning, after I leave the gym, I'm armed with my list and head off to the grocery store. I buy enough stuff for the week, fitting in any obligations/budget and time restrictions/etc. that I may have.

Once I get home on Saturday, I'm usually too tired and just want to shower or I have stuff going on. So on Sunday, I meal prep my face off. I crank up the music, and prep any meats and veggies for the upcoming week.

Since I'm super busy during the week, having things prepped takes some stress out of figuring out what's for dinner when I'm exhausted from work and the gym.

A couple of other things I found that works for me:
- I set out my gym clothes in my bag before I go to work. Grab the bag as well as my blender bottles (I take a pre-workout and protein supplement on workout-days) and toss those in my car.
- Buy a food scale. You'll be surprised at how much/little you're eating.
- Be kind to yourself. Don't feel like you've "fallen off the wagon" by enjoying a night out or eating cake. Cake is wonderful. So is wine.
- Set small goals for yourself. Meeting them feels AMAZING and I feel that breaking down a larger goal into smaller, more manageable goals energizes me for the road and journey ahead. And when you meet a goal? Treat Yo Self!

And above all, remember that weight loss isn't linear, nor will it happen overnight. If you've never run a mile, you won't go from couch to marathon in a week. Nor will you reach your goal weight overnight (whatever that may be). It took time to gain weight, it will take time to lose it.

Move more, eat less, drink lots of water.

Your body will take care of the rest.

Good Luck!

What worked for me is troubleshooting and making small changes every couple weeks based on what I learned the week before. So my biggest tip is just get used to logging all your food for a couple weeks. See if you identify any weak areas in your eating patterns. Your own patterns will point to what needs to change.

Trying this diet or that is like trying to wear someone else's shoes. It doesn't fit, it is a little painful, and there's a very good chance you'll give it up.
