I haven't written about it, but I've been on a juice fast for the past 46 days, and plan on doing 60. I started out with 30 days in mind, but around 24 days into it, I decided to watch the documentary, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" on Netflix, and was motivated to go for 60. If you have Netflix, I HIGHLY recommend you watch that movie. It's tremendous!
So far I've lost about 55 pounds, went from 48-44 on my pant waist, and feel great. I have a lot more energy throughout the day and haven't felt this agile in a long time. My 10 year old son, Ravi, saw me come out the bathroom with no shirt and said I have a "six pack." He may need glasses, but I'll take it!
So, about my "10 for 10" challenge. I'm looking for 10 people to join me on my journey to good health and do a 10 day juice fast with me. The dates are from February 20 - March 1. These are the last 10 days of my 60 day fast, and would love to end my journey with you partnering with me. We can all break our fasts together on the morning of March 1st!
If you've never fasted before, visit the website, Reboot Your Life, which was founded by the creator of the documentary mentioned above. There's loads of great information for you to read and learn more about fasting and moving toward better health.
So whether you're a seasoned faster, or first timer, would you please consider joining me on this journey. The Lord describes us as 'mind, body, soul and spirit' and I believe He desires for all these areas to be as healthy as possible. Let me know if you're in via an email, or 'Friend' me on Facebook. God Bless and Juice On!
Here's the trailer for the documentary, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," which can be seen on Netflix, or rented on Amazon for $2.99!

I heard about this from June. I am not male. But I would LOVE to do this! I've done juice fasting before (the longest I've done is 40 days). Can I sign up?
Hi Arabah,
Absolutely, I would love to have you join me for this. Send me your email and I'll email everyone who's doing it this weekend!

I'd like to do the 10 for 10 too... :0)
Cocosmommie,
That's wonderful. Excited to have you!
I'll be posting here Sunday night about the 10 day fast. Until then, you can get some great information about fasting, nutrition, and recipes at the this website:

I'm in! I actually started today and then saw your post on this, so I'll do eleven days with you! I did a ten day Daniel fast earlier this year and lost 10 pounds but meantime managed to put on half of that on again so I need to get rid of the extra and loose some more!
Mignon,
That's fantastic! Glad to have you.!!!
Again, I'll post this evening with a list of everyone who's doing the challenge, so we can encourage one another to persevere. Some have fasted before, others, will be doing it for the first time!
Thanks Steve... Started juice only fast today... Wow... harder than I thought... But not going to quit! xoxoxo BTW... Great job!!! xoxxxoxo
Cocosmommie,
Congratulations on starting!
Yes, the first few days can be difficult, but it does get better, trust me. Stay focused on your mission and keep the long term benefits in front of you!
Hey Steve... I'm still going and lost 12 lbs since Monday. I actually started juicing because I was told I have a gluten intolerance... then a lactose intolerance... What's left for me to eat but fruits, veggies, meat, some nuts and seafood (limited, due to allergies)... Weight loss is a positive side effect... LOL. It was difficult the first few days but I still find myself wondering if I could ever eat processed foods again. Hope you are doing well... Your 40 days are almost up. xoxooxo
Cocosmommie,
That's great!!! Good for you.
Glad to hear you're hanging there. I'm actually at the end of a 60 day juice fast, and will be ending on Friday, unless I go longer. Lol
Thanks for your sharing and I pray good health on you for the future!
