25 lbs LOST in 27 days

So I offically made it 27 days. I know lame, I hate odd numbers, I think it's the OCD part of me. I was ready to start eating something though. So when our friends asked if we wanted to go out to eat after church last Sunday I was ALL in :o) We were a week away from vacation, so I wanted to start putting food in my body before we headed down to Florida for our SURPRISE vacation to Disneyworld (that's another blog). I broke my fast with a yummy greek salad.....and a slice of tomato garlic pizza HAHA. I know I know, I was supposed to eat fruits and veggies for 2 days, but oh well, it was worth it. Lets just say I spent ALOT of time in the bathroom after I got home ;o). So I am offically 207lbs. I lost a GRAND total of 25lbs, and I feel awesome! Sooo my plan is when we get back to start up again. I am really wanting to lose another 40ish pounds. I think my goal as of right now is 165. I beat myself up alot because I really wanted to be out of the 200's by March 4th, but when I stand back and see the big picture, that Michelle Harrison lost 25lbs in 27 days, I get over my pity party real fast.

My biggest goal in this now is to KEEP IT OFF. That was alot of weight to lose in a short amount of time. I've often heard it said that, "when you lose alot of weight fast, your chances of it coming back on are greater!" I hope that in the last month full of prayer, self reflecting & juicing, that the Lord has instilled some self confidence in me, and that I have got into a habit of feeding myself food that it needs. I know one thing...juicing may fail me, but the LORD never will. He is my ROCK! So with that being said...JUICE ON! But remember you can attempt to accomplish great things in life, but you can do ALL things through Christ who gives you strength!

Here are some before & after pics for those of you who are interested. The before picture screams "white trash"!  Makeup and hair would have done small wonders in the before pic...ha ha ha.

  1. You go girl!!! 25 lbs is a BIG accomplishment as well as the self-control it took to last 27 days juicing only! I am inspired to try it myself as soon as baby boy is weaned.
    Enjoy vacation! :)

  2. WOW!!!!!! 25 pounds in 27 days is AMAZING!

    I'm so incredibly proud of you for staying disciplined that long. I'm gearing up to do just a simple five day one, and even five days sounds like forever. I think giving up coffee is going to be my biggest hurdle because I love having a cup of something warm (especially when loaded with cream and sugar! yikes)

    Thank you for inspiring me and for being real. I love that.
