this is an ignorant comment. As if there are only starving children in African countries. There are starving children and people every where, including right here in the U.S.A.

How did it go, how long were you abel to stay on it? In general it is always best to talk to your doctor before trying something like this, ESPECIALLY if you have pre-existing conditions. After having said that I've always been into natural healing and natural preventative methods. I've always wanted to do a detox, but was…

You look so much younger! great job

You look fabulous!!!! You can start toning now, and the little weight you have left to lose should melt off! :D

Thanks everyone for taking the time out. I really appreciate everyone's input... all very useful information! Beautiful wedding pic HeatherSmilez

As previously stated this is not a diet. People have been juice feasting or fasting for a very long time. It is used to detox your body, because when the body doesn't have to focus on digestion it starts to repair and detox cells. It is also supposed to help change your diet after the fast/feast. Obviously if you go back…

Bump, I recently started a juice feast... and would like to see peoples replies/suggestions. Alittle, do you think you could have done your fast for longer? Also did you do a juice fast or feast?

Mind sharing that recipe. I am planning to start a week long juice feast next week, and I want to make sure to get enough protein to keep as much muscle as possible. I'm trying to do as much research as possible before starting next Monday.

Bumpity Bump Bump

Thanks :laugh:

Thanks for your replies. It's greatly appreciated! Wangenstein, I'll do that and let you know how the bananas work out!

If the fam is willing to participate, perhaps a massage from the hubby or one of the kids. Or they take over one of your daily small chores for the day, like washing the dishes or cleaning an area? I know I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT! LOL

I'm 5'2" and my goal is 125

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BUMP! How'd the kids like it fuzzy?

definitely!

Sounds good.... elaborate on how to go about that

WOW I am soooo thankful for everyone's suggestions. I love them all and will be trying some of them very soon. Thank you everyone, and have a spendid and powerful day.

thanks fuzzmyster, i measured myself today and my scale I get back this week has a BMI reader. I have some raw peanuts, gotta grab some almonds. Yum!

Happy belated B-day Rocka-bye. I did W1D1 today. Wow I need some serious improvement. I did total 12 modified w/ 3 in the last set. :/ I did W1D1 of sit ups: 73 total w/ 20 in the last set

also drink plenty of water, simple ... but it helps immensely

I just did 3 sets of 20 wall pushups, with my feet 3 ft from the wall for some practice. I'd suggest that to anyone that struggled like crazy to do < 5 knee push-ups. :wink: Don't be embarrassed we are all here at different levels, but all want to improve so let's be honest.

OK so this challenge is very necessary, Push-ups are my frenemy and I seriously lack the upper strength. So with that intro, drum roll please ... drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdr ..... my initial test was 4 knee push ups :ohwell: :embarassed: anywho, I'm looking forward to improving that #. Looking forward to Monday!

so, what is the first step, we should post our test results on here once we do it?

I'd also like to signup on behalf of Genesista, she cant get on the computer to sign up right now. :D

I'm down too. I need to get these arms in shape and I want to confront push-ups. I'll do my test tonight!

Sounds good to me, I'll give that a try

Have any suggestions on how to make anaerobic exercises more fun. I need to find something that I can look forward to doing to get my muscles toned. So far I'm getting the aerobic in by dancing & walking with my lil boy. I have a Zumba toning & sculpting which is decent for now as a beginner, but I know soon I will need…

It could be something as simple as your TOM is coming. But either way I'd suggest some more veggies too. Do carrot sticks if you like, and steaming veggies is quick and tasty (broccolli or steamed yams are very healthy and yummy) You seem like you are getting your fiber in there, but veggies have so much to offer. HAHA: I…
