The beginning of a journey!

Yesterday, Amos(my husband) and I decided that we were going to start a juice fast.  We got inspired after watching a movie called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  This movie tells of two different men who fasted, drinking only juice of fruits and vegetables that they made themselves in a juicer.  The results were amazing!  Both men were extremely overweight (one weighed 310 and the other weighed 428ish), both had the same autoimmune disease and both were on heavy steroid prescriptions because of it.  When the fasting was finished one man lost 90 lbs., the other lost 202 lbs. and both were completely off all medications because their autoimmune disease had gone away.   We were amazed!  Amos and I are both extremely overweight (Amos 305 and me 195), as well as, Amos having a condition called Neural Hypoxia, which didn't show up until he started getting overweight and the heavier he gets the worse it gets.  If fasting can help these two men lose weight plus take away medical conditions then count us in.  I will do anything I can to make sure that my husband and I are around for a very, very, very long time for our children and their children and their children's children...God willing.  So we begin our journey on Monday not just to lose weight, but to make us healthier and change our eating lifestyle for good!
