I struggled but I hung in there for six months by juicing and walking A LOT! I started juicing first. I heard about it from the Youtuber, Shay Carl. And then I heard about Joe Cross and saw his movie, Fat, Sick, And Nearly Dead. I was curious when I saw Shay Carl doing it and convinced when I watch Joe's Movie. I found this site for recipes. http://juicerecipes.com/ I also read a few books. Juice Fasting and Detoxification by Steve Meyerowitz. Very good book to get you started and understanding juicing when your new, as well as the website for recipes above. I joined Facebook groups that juiced for help, hints, and motivation. I even logged my weight on a free website that kept track of that sort of thing and exercise, etc. Then I found DietBet from Shay Carl, again. I thought, I want to do that too! I joined one and was excited! At that time I was drinking one juice a day and eating two meals, with a bit of snacking. When I saw that I was not losing but maybe a pound or if that... I decided to do a juice fast. I started slowly tho. I cut out snacking for a week, then the next week I replaced one more meal with a juice. The next next week, all my meals were juices. I also was drinking water too. You have to drink water too! 64 oz. of juice and 64 oz. of water, A DAY! It was hard, cause I wanted to eat what my Hubby was eating, but after the first couple days past, I was fine. I juiced fasted a whole week. Still not losing very much tho and feeling like I had some energy to burn, I started walking. I had a gym membership and I would go there on days I couldn't walk at the parks and trails I liked. Treading at 1st 1 hour, 3.0 speed, incline of 3. I can now do speed of 3.3 and incline of 7 for 3 hours. Once I was walking tho, and juicing. I was dropping! It was all healthy too. I started at 214 lbs and made it to 171 lbs. Not my goal weight, but still impressive in my mind. I went from size 18 in pants to size 12. Extra large in shirts to mediums. I feel great and you can tell by looking I've lost weight.
Sadly, I started a job in May and it has totally messed up the schedule I was keeping to juice and drink and walk. So I have stopped my juicing and etc. I'm maintaining 180 lbs. and trying to eat smart. I'm ok with this for now and I hope to figure out how to continue again. My schedule at work is never the same and it makes this very hard! But I know what to do and how to get in shape. It's just getting there again. And I will!
