hi everyone!! i have a question.any feedback would be wonderful.i was 245 and now and 178.i am stuck at these certain weight for so long it seems.does anyone have any weight loss tips?i was eating alot of fruit.then i read somewhere that fruit stablizes your weight and veggies make u loose.so now i am going easier on the fruit.it seems to me if i watch calories.and do not partake greatly of nuts or fats-i use veggies only with lemon juice.it seems i should drop more weight.i drink alot of water and i do a kickbox dvd a couple of times a week and walk daily-miles,in fact.so what else can i do??thanks rae-dean

oh my-yes! well i weighed today and i weigh 175.so i guess for a while i am unstuck again.well-i have now lost 70 pounds since oct.-06.well-the fast. i tried a water fast and had a buddy fast with me.she outlasted me. it was to be a 3 day water fast. i did not do good. i lasted 2 days and into part of the third day.i thought i was gonna die of hunger. i think maybe because i have been on 1000 calories for so long it felt like too much deprivation.maybe later down the line i will try fasting again.that is a good thought. i think next time i hit a time where my weight is not moving along…i may just do this.thanks james.
Ray Dean – I have been reading a lot on the subject as I am planning my first juice fast soon (one I find a juicer at a reasonable price) and I’ve read that a water fast is VERY hard on your system and unless you are taking herbs to flush your colon (or doing irrigation) you could be doing a lot of harm to yourself instead. I would suggest you do a juice fast. You can search them on the internet, theres a lot of valuable info out there.
I have been stuck @ 114 lbs (goal and prev weight last year was 106…holiday’s killed me) for the past few weeks and I went 70-80% raw over a month ago and am now up to about 90 (my only non raw foods have been tofu and soy milk). I do consume nuts daily in my breakfast and I think that might be attributing to my ‘stuck’ weight. I know how frustrating it is altho my choice to go raw was not based on weight loss, rather optimum health.
If you do try a juice fast, you can consume over 3 liters of juice a day and not worry about gaining weight. Drink when you are hungry. You should not limit calories, but your body is not working to digest whole foods and therefore concentrating more on healing and restoring you to perfect balance.
Good luck!
