Juicing - two days in and I am still not hungry!

[spokette]

I decided last week to start juicing after seeing my cousin who had lost a stone in 3 weeks!! I only want to lose half a stone after the excesses of the summer so I thought starting off with a diet comprising vegetable and fruit juice might be interesting (as well as challenging).

So I bought a Juicemaster book (7lb in 7 days) and started juicing yesterday. Today I worked out to one of my DVDs for an hour and have just returned from the park with my DTS. I'm still not hungry!!

I have been drinking fresh juices,which are absolutely delicious as well as exhilerating and I feel fabulous. I plan to do this until Saturday so it will be interesting to see if Jason Vale's promise that you will not feel hungry at all holds true.

Was wondering if anybody else had tried this regime?

Feel free to join me It sounds sooo good. Lots of running, but also loads of interesting stuff I've never done , like assault courses and climbing. Just not sure I can handle the stroppy man who thinks he's in the army shouting at me

Om my word mustrunmore! I used to go to British Military Fitness classes and most of the time we had such a laugh. Stopped going because there was one instructor who used to make it his personal mission to find the coldest, muddiest area of the park and make us do sit-ups and press-ups until we were soaked. Didn't make for very comfortable running afterwards and tough luck if you didn't have your gloves with you (was mad enough to go to classes in December, January and February!)

DH used to make me strip off my muddy kit at the front door

would this juicer thing be any good do you think?

Don't think the link worked, but this is the item.

grublin, it would do the job and if you want to see if you will use one and like juicing you could splash out on a more expensive one.

I'm using mine all the time now but it did lay redundant in a box for a few years.

I've found the books on amazon, need to see if dh will let me get them this month.

It looks good for the money, Grublin, it's not whole fruit though so you'd have to chop (although I chopped all my fruit for ages before I realised I didn't need to!).
I got a Tesco wholefruit juicer, reduced to £19.99 from £39.99. It's good.

Mustrunmore and Blueberries, are you mad? I like to go running/spinning but am a bit fairweather about it all!

boot camp here

grublin you live close to me.

Actually I have the 7lbs in 7 days if you want to borrow it.

blimey poshtottie!

That looks fantastic and terrifying at the same time - think I prefer JV's way to lose half a stone in a week I think!

Do you, have you etc etc
Where roughly are you Poshtottie?

Hi Grublin, yes I'm up in the town of D at the new part.

If you want to borrow the book just let me know.

That'd be great thanks.
I can head up to D town centre on Saturday. I'll have my boys with me.

Im swimming at Wyvern and get home around 12. I could meet you in town or at borough gardens. I also have a ds aged 2.

I think your DS is 1 month older than my youngest.
If I meet you somewhere in town first, perhaps if it's nice we can get something to eat and sit in the park whilst the monsters burn off some energy?
I'll get the bus over and get off by cinema.

I'm getting so big, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to fit into any of my clothes now . I'm worried that I won't have enough will power to resist food when I go on juice.
Eeeek

hello ladies, I was lurking on this thread and bought teh book and a HUGE amount of fresh fruit/veg on friday to start on saturday morning. hauled my whole-fruit juicer out of it's cupboard in the kitchen, plugged it in and nothing. have been eating the un-juiced fruit until yesterday when my tesco-value replacement £4.99 juicer arrived, I'm having juice at breakfast, mid morning fruit, soup at lunch and salad/juice in teh evening. shall weigh myself on saturday again, but as i have around 5 stone to lose (...) should expect a fairly good week 1 result. (hopefully!)

good luck persephonesnape - you are doing similar to me, so you may have to wait until the 2nd week before seeing any weight loss - but ive lost 7lbs already and thats without any exercise

thats excellent - I'm just stepping up my walking/dashing around after three children -I'm too hugely fat at the mo to do anything more concentrated than just upping my movement - a spin class or somesuch would kill me. I have a dance around teh kitchen to a CD in the mornings before work to wake me up though

is anyone going to berate me if I start replacing my evening juice with a homemade soup? I am cold!!

I have lost 7lb and have been juicing for 10 days, with 3 solid meals in that time (am vegan, so they were only rice & veg anyway)

Can I have soup? pleeeeeeease?

Go for it LetThemEatCake! I had the carrot and butternut squash soup last night and it was delish! Having the hunky chunky soup tonight

I have had a none juicing day today as I ahve man flu, but I weighed myself this morning, I had been doing for 4 days and have lost 4lbs and that is with quite a bit of cheating.
will hopefully be back on tommorow, felt too sorry for myself today but now I feel all bloatey and uncomfortable.

My book has arrived! Will be totally ignoring dh all evening after aerobics, so I can get stuck in
