On the Road Again: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Great job, you are an inspiration to all, most importantly yourself! I have asked myself that same questions and I have those SAME regrets personally. “Why have I wasted so many years being so miserable with my body in such poor health?” I may go tomorrow, but it will be 85lbs lighter..lol I still have 15lbs to go to reach my “target weight” and am currently on day 10 of 30 in my second reboot.
Now the HARD work starts of continuing to make good choices so that the weight will stay off and you will remain healthy.. for however much time we have left. Denise -
Dear Ruth, MooseMom and Saradtee: I think MooseMom is on to something with a group! Be prepared, like Joe, to feel bad for the first few days, just don’t give up! Having been through 60 days already, I might suggest using the time to think about how you will eat once you “roll off” of juicing. I was juicing and eating for 6 months between these fasts. It was the normal up 3-lb.. knuckle down and juice more. Take off the 3-lbs eat a little more. It’s been frustrating because I really didn’t PLAN well for eating after the juice. I will say I continued to juice everyday and feel it is great “nutritional armor”. I haven’t been sick a day (knock on wood) since I started juicing. I’d love to join you, but TOTALLY understand if you gals would prefer a “group” of newbies, on a 60 day commitment. Denise

Hey all, so excited to have support..! Do we need to form a group in any specific way, or just keep posting here?
Also, was wondering what are people’s ideas for eating afterwards? I have been looking into Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat to Live plan, which I think is who counseled Joe in the movie. Weirdly, I downloaded an E-book on fasting on his website, that talks about only drinking water when fasting, and that drinking juice defeats the purpose of the fast.. Is that not strange? I was so inspired by the movie, not so inspired to just drink water..

Ruthie, part of this project is the secondary stage – and it may be the most important phase. Taking weight off is one thing, keeping it off is another. The project requires a maintenance phase. If you go back to your old way, it is like wearing something old and worn out that no longer fits. Get rid of that. The maintenance phase has to include some version of what you’ve done to lose the weight. You have to decide how to apply it in a way that works for you – but it is absolutely necessary to the process. Joe didn’t have time in the movie to point that out. We don’t climb a mountain to throw ourselves off of it. This works for taking off the weight. A version of it also works for keeping it off. (Another thing that I should point out is that, As Joe put it, he ‘created an artificial famine’. Well, the human body is designed to deal with that, and when the famine ends, it absolutely goes bonkers to hold onto every calorie it can in case such a thing occurs again. So we have to outsmart the system nature gave us – or work with it. That means we need to closely monitor our weight during the maintenance stage, that for some of us will last the rest of our days. It is not unlike the ‘recovering alcoholic’ in a certain sense: when do we stop recovering and can go back to eating crap and ignoring our health? And when do we expect that our bodies will not rebel against such abuse? This is a two-stage process, folks. Mind it.

And how well can we get to where we are going if after ever happening to ‘fall off the wagon’ we don’t pick ourselves up and climb back on the wagon? We need to recognize that we are human, and we need to recognize that ultimate success includes giving ourselves permission to fail on occasion or at least recognize that although nothing in life is perfect, failure is only as large as we permit it to be – that is how we grow. Part of the project requires that we recognize the fact that we are dealing with emotions – and emotions need to be recognized and dealt with. Big projects are full of little obsticles that can appear big to us. Those obsticles are optical illusions. Let us not shudder at shadows.

Hi Ruth, my name is Fred from San Diego, California. USA… I am so glad you started this because on Friday June 15th I will be picking up my very first Juicer to start my 60 day reboot. I am around 205 – 209lbs depending on the day. I started running so that is helping me a bit. I am not happy with the I feel and the wieght, so I will also partner up with you starting Friday June 15th. My wife Wendy will start when she starts her Vacation so that she can be home in case she gets sick and also be away from those office food parties.
My main juices will be more green then fruity.. Like 90/10 just to keep my sugar levels under control. Let’s share our juice recipes on here and share some tips as well.
Take to you guys soon
Fred
