Juice fast
I started a 10 day juice fast today. 60% veggies and 40% fruit 4x's daily about 16 to 20 oz each. Does anyone know how I count the calories? Should I just not worry since my body will be doing very little processing. Unsure please help.

It's good to be back although it its bitter sweet. Yes I have gained back much of what I lost. NO EXCUSES for me I don't believe in them. My failures are lessons and I refuse to make the same mistake twice. I have even more incentive this time then before. I am looking forward and not looking back. I know this community…

Some people don't get it.
Most people in my life have noticed the changes in my habits and my appearance. For the most part people are very positive. However once in while i get these "friends" who ask me questions like this. " So when are you going to start adding real food back into your diet?" "Oh and of coarse your not going stop drinking…

What is a goal anyway?
When I started this site I had weight loss goals and I still have a ways to go. I learned that setting short term goals when I reached them left me completely elated. However when they were not met I would become depressed. My wife and I both had these ups and downs. The operative word is HAD. The idea of this site I…

Fat Theology (JOKE)
Fat Theology And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetable of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?" And…

Young people
I have noticed a lot more young people on the site. I think that is fantastic. I wish a tool as great as this site was around when I was 18 to 25. Perhaps I would have never gone down chunky highway. I spend a lot of time warning my students about weight in their future and how their behavior now will effect them. Good…

My health

During the summer I found my self in the ER twice because food was stuck in my esophagus. What they found was disheartening . My esophagus was covered in ulcerations and was bleeding. So they…

Been Gone
I have not logged in for a week. Myself and my daughter have had the stomach flu. Although I lost weight in the past week I really felt as if the wind in my sails was just about out. So I logged on and within just a few moments the sail began to move. I realized that without support reaching long term goals are so…
