Here is the big problem with a juicing fast. It really is only for those people who are so unhealthy that if they dont lose a lot of weight in a fairly quick amount of time they are going to be in danger. What is so bad about a juicing fast is you will lose a lot of weight fast, but you can't remain on it forever and be…

I could give out a 10 second hug, everyone needs a hug once in a while :)

It is okay, I have had some bad days recently too. Its just one day friend. I bet even relentless health fanatics have a cheat day once in a while... Difference between us and them is they probably hide it from everyone, which lets be honest, not only does it suck to slip up for a day, but when you dont tell anyone or hide…

Oh P.S. I hope the admins don't get mad at me for this, I really am not sure of their policies are on advertising here, but I swear I am in no way affiliated with the company, but i found something kinda cool today earlier. It is this thing called Thrive or Thrives or something just look up Trive health or something. It…

Welcome Shelby! I am always looking for better foods. Nutrition is really important to getting a healthy body, I agree. Just read my info and you will see that I truly am a fan of being healthy more than losing weight. I mean I need to lose weight, but I would prefer to do it the right way, so good call. I hope that you…

Hi plains :) Well you are in the right place. This site has helped me more than anything else I have ever come across. Everyone here is incredible, and going through the same thing. Even better some of them have succeeded in their goals and now are here to maintain their current success and help others. I personally give…

That is so amazing! I am really sorry to hear about everything. I am here to tell you though you can do it! I know personally its harder for people that are ill. I am currently struggling with liver problems, my doctor told me it was time to do something or I could possibly lose my life. I have currently been back to MFP…

Hi there Sony! Well good for you! I hope you find what you are looking for here. It is a great site with awesome people. In my experience when I have had a hard day, and all I would really like to do is grab a beer and just sit in front of the TV and eat a pizza, I have had friends have my back. They would convince me that…

Hi there Trisha! Welcome :) Well you have come to the right place. Everyone here is super motivating and really kind and helpful. I hope you find this site to be as much help to you as it has been to me!

Thank you so much AnnaBelle, and welcome to the community! I have been here for a while, but actually kinda neglected it for a few years. Just recently felt like it would be a good idea to come back. Motivation to get and stay healthy is a team effort, it is easier with the support of others.

I agree with tunder. You come off as negative because you immediately start calling out people, it kind of comes off a lil judgemental sounding. However I want to assure you that I have been here for a week now, and everyone is caring and supportive. A place like this has no room for negativity because its a lot of people…

Wow 40 lbs! Thats great! Congratz on that! I just started 2 weeks ago, and im still going strong due to the amazing people of the MFP community! Add me if you would like, I am always looking for more friends to share in the journey to self improvement :)

Hi there, Reece! Well you came to the right place for all of those things :) I will have been here a week tomorrow, and all week everyone has kept me motivated and strong. Everyone is super friendly and supportive, and if you offer back the same support and encouragement, then the community makes you strong enough to…

Hi there, Jenni! Wow 1210 days, i just hit five days xD. I wish I could be a vegetarian. I have will power, but that takes a strong person to cut meat out completely. Plus i bet its tough at first to figure out how to get the protein you need

Hi there, Marcia! I am really sorry to hear about your dad. Its great that you are trying to keep up with your healthy lifestyle again though. Kudos for picking yourself back up :) I just started a couple days ago, but already i feel like this community has helped me so much!

Hi there, Willough! I know how much it sux to have a knee injury. I suffered one in my early 20s, it kept me laid up for 2 months, and I am going to have issues with it probably for the rest of my life according to my doctor. I would be more than happy to friend you and share in your journey to a healthier you! You seem…

Well lower back pain can be a lot of things, a disk, muscle spasms, kidneys, im not a doctor so i don't know what would be the best thing to do other than get it checked. I can tell you though when i first started my journey 2 weeks ago, before this site, I was sick due to messing up my liver and kidneys with my unhealthy…

Hi there, Enrg! Glad to hear you got the motivation back :) I've got an extra dose of motivation myself. I am trying to maintain a positive healthy attitude because i think in the long run that is what is going to make all the difference in the endurance its gonna take to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves :)

Hi there, Jaz! Well you have definitely come to the right place. I have been using this app for 5 days now and im already feeling the effects of calorie counting and a nutritious diet. Furthermore 2 days ago I decided to start mingling in the community, and everyone is so supportive and full of good information to help you…

Hi there, Ronald! Trust me I know, when i started counting calories it blew my mind how much i was over eating, it also blew my mind how little good nutrients i was getting, which is probably what caused my over eating. I stayed hungry because i was putting little to no veggies in my diet, little to no fruits, and was…

Hi there, Rachel! My name is Brett. I started to change my eating habits 2 weeks ago, and really got serious about it 5 days ago. There is not much progress to speak of weight wise yet, but I know its coming :) What I wanted to get you excited about, and looking forward to is the change in your mood, and energy levels.…

Hi there, Vik! Sorry I hope i didn't rain on your parade, that was not my intentions at all :) Actually it was quite the opposite. I just didn't want to see you set yourself up for that, because I have before. I did the cabbage diet a few years ago. You pretty much eat nothing but cabbage stew for 7 days straight. After…

Ya I haven't been here long, but the popular opinion around here is to stay away from those diets that you go on for a week to super punch 10 lbs off right away. The reason for that is first its really unhealthy, but most people don't really care about that, but this however they do care about. After that one week crazy…

Also feel free to add me as a friend if you would like, I am always happy to help motivate and inspire, and always happy to have another to help me do the same :)

I would say that your worst enemy is emotional endurance, if you don't get the results you want as fast as you want them, i recommend just concentrating on your smaller victories. Changing to a healthier lifestyle will improve the way u feel and your state of mind. Try concentrating on how you feel on days when the scale…

Hi there, Val! Yeah im starting over myself for the hundredth time or so. I plan to take it slow and steady as well. I also plan not to starve myself, just make good decisions on what I put in my body, and try to stay active. No one that is trying for a mad dash to the finish line is going to make it. If you just think of…

Hey congratz! That's wonderful news! Keep it up! Maybe some day we can all move down a couple forums and be writing on the success story posts right? :smiley:

Hi there, Kendra! I agree with jmac, you don't have to cut carbs completely, just make sure you eat good carbs, processed flour is your enemy, not carbs. Oats, wheat, really any type of whole grain, is actually really good for you. The reason why is it requires more effort for your digestive system to break down these good…

Well good luck to you anyways! I hope you reach your goals!

Hi there, Dom! That's an incredible story of self endurance, what a motivational symbol of will power, and determination! I am currently 70 lbs overweight, and as far as I know I don't have any health issues like that, however health deterioration was what caused me to start down this path. My liver and kidneys just didn't…
