I don't consider juice fasting to be a "real" fast... that's nothing but water.
But, I watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" last week and it inspired me heart
Nothing but water and veggie/fruit juice since last Saturday. I'll be done Christmas morning.
I feel pretty good.
Has anyone else done something similar?

The spouse spent about a month {possibly more... I'm bad with time} on pretty much a liquid diet. They'd have something solid here and there, but mostly just had water, juice, ensure, and milk.... but this was due to stress wreaking havoc on their digestive system thus making it to where they actually couldn't handle solid food.
They did lose a lot of weight from it, but rather unhealthily. It's hard to say how much because we didn't have a scale before they started loosing weight, but we estimate it could very well have been 60 pounds. They made some changes in their work schedule to lessen the amount of stress so they could take solid food again and started exercising after that, not wanting to go back to being obese after seeing how much better it feels to be a healthy weight.
They've dropped more pounds since exercising and have reached a point in which losing any more would likely start to look unhealthy. I think the grand total of weight loss from their heaviest to their current weight was likely 100 pounds.
So they dropped the first 60 with something similar to what you're doing {only for longer and it wasn't very good on their health to be doing it}, and then the next 40 by regulating what they eat and exercising. Had they not decided to maintain some level of self regulation after being able to take solid food again, they would very easily have just gained it all back.
Regulating what you eat is the most important part. Just because something tastes good doesn't mean you need to have 5 servings of it. If you take the time to savor what you have, then you don't even feel the need to eat more of it.
