Why put each other down, or ridicule someone's grammar? Why not encourage, and say "way to go!" Why not wish someone the best, even if you don't agree with their choice? At least we're trying. We are all here just trying to lose weight, or to get fit or healthy, or all of the above. And we're all doing it one day at a…

Yogicart, you mention "tearing down bad habits" - and that's one of my primary goals. I'm not expecting a miracle, and I'll bet a lot of what is lost is just water weight. But if I get off of diet coke and processed sugars, then I'll consider it a success! Anything else will be a bonus. Thank you for your post :)

That's a deal trixieloo - I'll come back in about 2 weeks and let you know as honestly as I can what I think of it. Maybe it'll be pure torture and completely unfeasible for a normal person, or perhaps it'll give me a decent re-start and motivate me. I have no doubt part of it is psychosomatic :) But I promise to be…

You know, I think I'm going to bow out too. This has also made me sad. I'm not disagreeing with any of you! But this is something I'd like to try for 15 days, that's it. I'd love it if it gave me the momentum to keep going with healthy eating and exercise. Thank you all for your wonderful advice; I'm impressed with your…

No, I'm listening to everyone. Most of the advice is great, some not so much. But that's not why I created this message board - the intent was for others like me who would like to try this for a short period of time to support and encourage each other. That's it. I wasn't looking for criticism or judgement. I've done…

Thank you Charlotteyan75 and Gail2424!!! This is the encouragement I'm looking for. I'm only doing this for 15 days so no medical supervision needed (no medical issues here), and I'm following the 80/20 rule (80% veggies, 20% fruit). I'm motivated to kick my diet coke and sugar addictions, and when it's over plan to still…

Thank you for the comments, I know you all mean well. At 51 I'm not new to dieting, and you're not telling me anything I don't already know. I'm not a rocket scientist, nor am I a halfwit - I've done plenty of research on my own. The movie was free since it's on Netflix, I already owned Dr Fuhrman's book as well as others…

Yes, obviously I just haven't tried hard enough. Me and the millions of others struggling. I'm just going to try to delete this message board. This is the exact opposite of what I had hoped for.
-
ok, perhaps this isn't the best site to ask for help. I really need someone on my team, someone supporting me, rather than judgement and criticism. This is really discouraging and I'm on the verge of tears.

From the many posts I've read of people who have done it, it seems like it is tortuous - but really only the first week. After that they feel great and continue on to their goal. And once the fast is over they've learned the benefits of micro-nutrients. I'm sure plenty have reverted back to old habits. I'd like to be part…

Yes, I've tried that many times but I know myself and I need to get over some food addictions. I'd really love just support and encouragement.
-
Wow, I'm impressed! what's funny is when I look at your before picture we could be twins :) Except that's what I look like now and you look crazy great!! I'd love to be friends, I could really use the motivation... I started about 3 weeks ago and lost 5 lbs and have been vigilant with calories and not going over 1200 but…
-
Yes, let's support each other! I just joined a few days ago and have about 70 lbs to lose (omg, how did I get to this point!), and would love to make friends :) The more encouragement, the better!

Hi Cassie! I've just started a few days ago and have about 70 lbs to lose - and I could really use some support and encouragement and would love to offer it too! Let's do it together - more friends to support each other means more motivation!
