I encourage juicing, it provides calories, but most importantly nutrients to your body!

I highly recommend looking to juicing because it provides nutrients to your body without actually eating. I would combine doing juicing and smoothies if your appetite is not up for eating solid foods.

Wow good for you, those changes are making a huge difference in your health. I also was over weight my whole life and I been down the road of ups and downs, but finally I have embarked in a journey of a lifestyle that has changed my life. I became plant-raw-vegan lifestyle and I wouldn't change it. I encourage others to…

I bought 2 Victoria Secret sports bra and they really keep your boobs in place, definitely worth the investment cause there is nothing good about bad sport bras!

Water, water and more water! I started juicing and my health has changed so much Smoothies or fruit for breakfast Salads and raw foods I don't buy the temptation food I eat before going to the store Eat enough! Be conscious about what goes in your mouth

I would like to add to the already good advise, is that because you did bad for a couple of days, it doesn't mean its over, keep going, jump back on the wagon, it happens to everyone, we are human! I would say look into natural things that help with balancing hormones, like Maca, flaxseed, anything with Omega 3's. Have you…

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, be consist and do it for the right reason. Feel free to add me!

I worked out of home for the past 7 years, specially now that the nearest gym is about 15-20 mins away. I dvd's, Youtube videos and I have a treadmill. In the Spring/Summer I like to go the park and do some running there, since there is no like running outdoors! Definitely add me to your group!

I actually did the program back in 2008-2009 and I can only say is that I would never go back or recommend it to anyone!. I gain the weight back and them some. Its really just starving yourself and of course you will lose, but by starving yourself. I say eat healthy, work out and drink lots of green juice!.

Congrats on the hard work..you look great..keep up the good work!

My advise is look into Dr.McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr T. Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn. They recommend a whole food plant based nutrition. How could a plant-base nutrition not make sense or help cure disease. The body is very intelligent that with the proper foods it can help it self. Look at the different documentaries…

When I was 200lb I was a size 14, now that I'm at 149 I'm a size 8-10.

congrats on your accomplishment...keep up the good work!

Very delicious...I'm a pasta lover and I truly say its a nice option specially if your trying to eat more raw foods...you definitely need to like vegetables. I say go for it!

Let me first say that even though its my first juice fast, juicing is not new to me, I been juicing for 2 years and I have seen the results it can produce with a plant-based lifestyle. A lot people like to criticize lifestyles in which they have not researched or even tried it for themselves. If you have never juiced or…

Hi... I'm actually on my 5th day of my 10 day juice fast. I'm doing it for health reason, to give my colon a rest and help my other organs a chance to repair themselves. Its my first juice fast and its been ok so far, but today I woke up really hungry and with lots of mucous. Today has been very different from the other…

Hi Cassie, My recommendation is and this is based on experience, I'm not a doctor nor nutritionist, try to give up dairy and animal products for 1 month. From what I know is that dairy causes too much mucous in the body and other issues as well. Also anything that comes from animal produces too much acidity in the body and…

Always looking to make new friends that share commons things like making better choice when it comes to foods and lifestyles. Definitely send me friend requests!

I'm a Huge believer that any diseases is curable, 90% of the diseases we are seeing are acquired through our lives. I believe that diabetes is curable, with a understanding how the body works and a vegan/raw lifestyle, you would say goodbye to diabetes. You definitely read on Dr. Joel Furhman, he has great books on health.…

Have you consider trying a program that doesn't require equipment, like Insanity, T25 or any of the other beachbody programs?

Hey.. Here's I see it, fruits and vegetables are carbs, but good carbs and the way I see it, eating fruits and vegetables never got people fat. I get it sometimes we indulge in the "bad" carbs, but if your carbs are coming from fruits and vegetables, you shouldn't worry about the carbs/calories. I'm not someone to worry…

Hi.. I hear you...I went a whole month without the motivation to do any works, but coming back to MFP, it has help encourage myself to get back at it. I mean once you get started, you will feel back in the groove. Start slow and once you feel you can go longer do it. The body is amazing and of course you can't forget the…

I gave up dairy about 2 years ago. I use to suffer from sinus issues every morning, it was like clock work and since giving up, no more sinus issues. Giving up dairy is the best thing someone can do. It produces too much mucus in the lungs and the respiratory system. Also I have read that it cause that the blood thickens…

Hi... It happens to everyone and its just part of life, but the great thing is that you have decided to get back on the boat and do what you need to do. We all fall of the wagon, but the important part is to get back on it....

Have you tried juicing those vegetables...its a great way of incorporating vegetables, specially those that we don't like....give it a try...

Hi... I been a raw/vegan for almost 2 years and I honestly can say that I would not go back to being a meat eater, I'm not saying that if I'm invited to a family gathering I won't eat it, I mean eating it 1 or 2 a year is not going affect your body as if you ate meat every day. But I can honestly believe that a raw/vegan…

Add me as a friend!!!

Great recipes that people have posted, but a great way of incorporating veggies you don't like...simple...juice them!!!! There are veggies I don't like, so I juice them and I still drink my veggies....I hope it works for you...

Hi Britney....I'm not a mom, would definitely would to be of help to motivate you.... PostPartum depression has happened very close to home, both my sister and cousin experienced this after giving birth to their kids. I have read that broccoli, bananas, avocado, nuts (almonds, pistachios,cashews) and 5-HTP are great…
