DAY SEVEN - Tuesday 8th January 2013
Today's weight 13st 1+1/2lb - weight lost today 5/8 - total weight lost in 6 days 13+1/2lb
Had my lemon juice and some juice I had left over from yesterday and after taking Billy to the station, I went for my usual walk from Stonebarrow Hill to Golden Cap and back. This was the third time since I started my juice fast and was the easiest by far. I knocked 5 minutes off my previous best and was no where near as tired at the end. Don't get me wrong, it was still very hard work, but a bit easier so I must be getting fitter, which is, of course, the whole point!
Just didn't get around to making my juice today, naughty I know, but drank plenty of water though, I just seem to bee dashing from one thing to another at the moment, just as well I've got so much more energy then, but I'm getting really tired by the end of te day. I'm in bed now and it's only ten past eight. Still I didn't sleep great last night, only got about 5 hours and I usually need a lot more than that.
So excited about tomorrow's weight, really want to have lost more than a stone. This week has been so easy, I know I'm going to have some really challenging times over the next 11 weeks, but If most of the time is like this past week I should be fine. I know the weight loss is now going to be about 3 or 4lbs a week so I mustn't get dispondant, I must be realistic and keep my eye on the bigger picture and the long goal. I can and I will do this!
Goodnight all

Day 6 - a bit disappointed :(
DAY SIX - Monday 7th January 2013
Weight today 13st 2lb 1/8 - today's loss 1/2lb - loss to date 12lb 7/8
7:00am 1 whole lemon in water
A bit disappointed with today's weight loss, didn't expect it to slow down quite so rapidly but although I was very busy all day, I didn't get to go for a walk, so no exercise to speak of. Don't know if I'll get the chance to do anything today, probably not, but my back is still very sore anyway. So I guess I will just have to settle for lower weight loss until I can go for another long walk.
Anyway, time to get up now.

Day 5 & feeling goood
DAY FIVE - Sunday 6th January 2013
Today's weight - 13st 2lb 5/8 - another 2lb gone
Total weight lost in 4 full days 12lb 3/8 - WOW!
This is better than I've ever done before, it must be down to the extra exercise.
Well I've had my lemon juice this morning and its 8:50am now so I'm gonna get up have my shower and go make my daily juice before starting on my chores. Dave and Tom have gone to Oxford to sort Toms room and leave it ready for the new occupant, so they'll be gone for about 6/7 hours. I've got to go to Panto rehearsal with Billy at 1:30 so lots to get done before that.
Body is now fully into internal metabolism so not feeling hungry at all and so far I've not had any emotional cravings to eat, I can honestly say that this has been a bit of a doddle so far, I'm sure it will get harder though, as time goes on, but so far so good.
Will rob ably speak to you later when I go to bed to let you know how the day went, so see you later.

Day 4 and still going strong
DAY FOUR - Saturday 5th January 2013
Today's weight -13st 4lb and 5/8 -That's 2lb 1/8 bringing total weight lost to date (3days) to 10lb 3/8
Got up today at 6:45 and had 1small lemon in water. Made Dave's breakfast then got ready to go for my walk, had to wait until it got light enough.
So for the second time in three days I walked from Stonearrow Hill to Golden Cap and back. OMG! I really didn't think I was going to make it, surely it will get easier, but my body feels soooo sore at the moment.
Didn't have time to make my juice until about 1:00pm. I made it the same as yesterday and had it all throughout the rest of the day.
I was soooo busy today. I've just crawled into bed and I've really got to go to sleep soon. I think I've got more energy from the juicing but I'm using it all up too fast. Still, no walk tomorrow, maybe time to recover a little, I hope.
Despite feeling worn out, I do actually feel really good. I feel like I'm being so productive, a feeling I've not had for a long time.
Anyway, got to sleep, goodnight all
Ps if anyone wants any further help or comments or advice about juice fasting, please leave me a comment and I will answer you as best I can.

A bit tired today but still feeling POSITIVE
DAY THREE - 4th January 2013
Toady's weight - 13st 6lbs and 3/4 - Total weight lost to date (2 days) 8lb and 1/4
Got up at 6:30am and don't think I sat down again until 12:30pm. It's now mid-afternoon and I'm feeling a bit tired. Just had too many chores today to go for my Golden Cap walk (or any walk for that matter) but quite pleased about that as my body is feeling a little bit sore and I don't think I could have made it today anyway.
First thing this morning I had half a lemon in water and a bit later I made a juice using the following ingredients:-
1 largish carrot (peeled)
Half medium beetroot (peeled)
Half medium cucumber (washed)
Half packet of spinach (washed)
1 stick celery (washed)
1 orange (peeled)
1 lemon (peeled)
1 Granny Smith apple
Quarter of pineapple (peeled)
Quarter of Honeydew melon (peeled)
Half a pink grapefruit
It made just over 1 litre of juice and I've been having it throughout the day (plus plenty of water of course). It not the best taste ever but is certainly edible and it has to be INCREDIBLY healthy.
Got to go and have a clear up now, so see you tomorrow.

Feeling good
DAY TWO - 3rd January 2013
Weight this morning was 13st 9lb + 7/8ths. That's a loss of 5lb 1/8th. That's pretty exciting for day 1.
This morning I drank a juice of 1 orange, 1 apple and half a lemon. Then I went for a walk from the top of Stonebarrow Hill to Golden Cap and back again. That's about 5 and a half miles. I took 2 hours 10 minutes. OMG I was ankle deep in mud a lot of the time, I hope we don't get any more rain for a while, let it dry out a bit.
I've had a really busy day so I didn't have time for lunch, but I did drink lots of water.
About 5:00 this afternoon I made a juice of 2 carrots, half a beetroot 1 stick of celery, half a packet of spinach, quarter of a cucumber, 1 apple and half a lemon and it actually tasted quite nice.
I had to carve the roast chicken for the rest of the family's dinner and roast chicken is one of my fave foods, but I resisted it and stayed completely true to my juice fast.
Feeling quite tired, I was going to have a really early night, but Billy was in agony with earache, so I had to take him to Honiton hospital. Anyway, I'm in bed now and I need to go to sleep as I'm exhausted - but happy.
Good night, see you tomorrow.

18 months on and I've got to do it all again :(
DAY ONE - 2nd January 2013
Well, that was 18 months ago. And what has happened since? To cut a long story short, I am currently weighing in at a whopping 14st 1lb (197lb). Ouch!!!
How did I let this happen? I still ask myself that question everyday.
BUT, today is the 2nd January 2013 and Day 1 of my new Juice Fast Plan! So, no more recriminations, no more negativity. From now on it's not about how fat I am, but how well I'm doing, and how well and energised I feel. POSITIVITY is my new watchword. This is a New Year and a New Me.
My goal is to lose 57lbs as quickly as possible. Based on last time, that could mean fasting for 10 weeks, but I intend to do more exercise and consume more veggie juice and a bit less fruit juice.
I intend to walk to Golden Cap from the top of Stonebarrow Hill and back again every day that I am physically able to do so. This isn't very far but IS very arduous, as anyone who has done can testify to. It normally takes me just over 2 hours, so I am hoping, as the days go by, to considerably reduce that time.
It is now 17:05 and I have had the juice of 1 lemon, 3 apples and 3 oranges spread over 2 'meals' today. The only other thing I have consumed today has been water. I've not felt hungry at all today.
I am determined to post every day to let you know how I'm getting on, so that said, I'll see you tomorrow :)
