Hi everyone! My husband and I just watched the documentary and have decided, for a number of reasons, to begin a 30 day (with hopefully an extension of 60) cleanse beginning on July 12th. Anyone else starting around this time who wants to join us?

More of my journey and information can be found here:

I’m ready for the 12th! I’ve been doing 2 juices/day for a week, but bu supper, I’m wanting something “not sweet”—so I’ve eaten small, vegetarian meals. I need to lose about 100 lbs. I’m 61 years old. Food is not really my problem, Most days it will be 3 PM before I want anything to eat, period. But not eating often enough can mess havoc with your metabolism. Plus when I worked I was a night shift RN, critical care, so even though busy, still not a large area to walk like the floors, and before ICU was in a small, quiet ER—–not getting enough sleep messes with your metabolism—and I don’t MOVE! Too much computer. LOL But I have an awesome rebounder which is suppose to be one of the BEST exercises around.

So by juicing, I hope to feel better (already do),get on a better schedule (no longer work, but it’s 2:30 AM, so the problem persists) but to concentrate on more water, more movement, and more NUTRITION.

So it’s the 10th—I’ll be ready to join you fully the 12th.

Yup, yup! Count me in. I’m now weaning myself off the “regular” (yeah, right) food and am anticipating my reboot kickoff on July 12th. I’ll be chiming in this site as often as I can during that time. I can’t wait to read all the posts! I know we’re all going to be victorious!
I don’t know how long I’ll reboot but I have a 30-day goal in mind…
WE CAN DO THIS!!!

180marsha – the 12th will be a great new day! My husband are going full in and can’t wait. We are anticipating the arrival of our juicer tomorrow. I agree – We can do this, and it will be even easier with a bit of support! Lets all find our victory!

Hi I am ladymec1 and yesterday was my first day of faux juicing & Detox Soup… That is until my juicer is received…bad news is they still have not shipped. I weigh in at a whopping 247 lbs and the is low a month ago I weighed in at 254lbs, I have a ton of weight to loose. (117 lbs to be exact) I am 62 and looking for a support group for support, encouragement and information. I want to start a journal of weight loss, highs and lows, ideas and recipes. What do I want with my new found life and I do mean life (Due to this weight I have already had one heart attack)… I want to design and build substainable container houses and support an eco system. This is the second day of the rest of my life…

Hi to all! Tomorrow will be the first day of what I hope will be a 30 day juice fast. I have tried several times in the last month to juice fast but failed. That was before I found this website though! Now I’m ready! I have been wanting to lose weight for a long time but haven”t been able to. I want to lose weight and then maintain the loss. I need to succeed to build my self confidence and regain control over my health. I am overweight, unable to get pregnant, and slightly depressed. But i believe that’s all about to change! Here”s to the first day of a new beginning! We can do this!

I’m totally in on this! I have always struggled with my weight and yo-yo pretty much all of the time. I’m ready to lose this remaining weight (~20lbs) and, most importantly, BE HEALTHY! I’m really taking this day by day. Although I want to reach 30 days, my first goal is to make it through 3, then 5, then 10, and then 20 and 30. Incredibly you are starting on the same day that I was planning to start so I figured i’d join up with you all for support. Since my husband is not joining me on this, there are going to be some tough challenges ahead and I have a feeling the support on here will be quite helpful Can’t wait!!!

Starting stats:
24yo, 5’10″, 170lbs.

Let’s do this!!

I’m excited, I just watched the movie and now I want to do it. Where do I begin, I would like to lose at least 50lbs. I want to do it at least 30 days though and I don’t see instructions to get me started.

Hi all!
I can feel the support all of you want to give each other and I would like to be part of that. I am 61, 5’7″, 211lbs. I started the Long Weekend Plan this morning, 7/12/2012, with the idea that I would go right into the 30 Day Plan on Sunday 7/15 and on to the 60 Days in mid August. This morning was fabulous . . .i.e. My juicer worked! And the juice was great. I could do without the hot water, lemon & ginger, but I will find a hot drink to use instead. I’m looking forward to my next drink . . . Of juice! Margaret, how has your first dmorning gone? Love to hear about everyones first. Hope to hear soon.
