Great progress Candibaby, NYCchild, Lovely901Lady and ladies, bald spots growing in, skin looking good, getting compliments, hair feeling thicker...
It’s pretty exciting! Tonight when I was detangling and rinsing my hair, I noticed it really felt thicker and heavier than usual. My first thought was that I left my conditioner on for 40 minutes instead of my usual 30, but I’ve done that many times before. I’ll know for sure as the days go by.
The skin on my face started out looking great (from my other routine) on this challenge but I notice each day that my skin all over my body looks better and feels smoother. My legs looked better than usual when I shaved today.
Welcome to the challenge, Mytialpn!

I just discovered I've been drinking expired carrot juice for a few days now
. I looked and looked for an expiration date before and I couldn't find one. Today when I went into a store at work the guy said he didn't carry it anymore becuase they were too perishable, and he was losing money. He assured me there was an expiration date stamped on there. So I come and check and sure enough it's there. Now I can't get anymore until the weekend. I'm not a happy camper @ the moment. I think I need to look into getting the CJ powder.

Sorry that happened also Armyqt and I'm glad you found some Odwalla to drink. Carrot juice isn't always rotated like they're supposed to be and it does have a short shelf life. The most I've seen so far had an expiration date 3 weeks into the future (Bolthouse brand) and that's pretty good.
For those drinking the powdered carrot juice, I would love to hear how that's going for you.

Oh, I misunderstood your post!
1/4 pound of carrots would make about 2 ounces. I don't know how many baby carrots that is or how many are in a bag. If it's in a one-pound bag, then you can estimate a fourth of that. 1 large carrot or 2 regular sized carrots makes about 2 ounces of juice.

Well, I didn't officially join the challenge, but when I couldn't find any of the carrot juices in my area, I went and bought a GE juicer. Now that's a run on sentence. But anyway, I'm going to try it and if I see any significant results I will post. I just didn't want to join and be inconsistent with it. Hope that's okay. Happy juicing.

Cassie28 - We are just drinking a minimum of 2 ounces of carrot juice each day, for a month. We're posting any progress we may see every week. The challenge started March 22 but anyone can jump in at anytime. You may want to read through this thread to see what kind of progress we've had already. It's an easy challenge and there can only be benefits from it!

I got the Hamilton Beach juicer from WalMart for about $30 (so I spent the other $30 I had budgeted for the juicer on a blender) and it's been working pretty well. The carrot juice is delicious. I was juicing 1-1 lb bag of carrots with an apple and a stalk of celery until I ran out of apples and decided to use a mango.....yum, yum, yum!!!
I give my daugher about 2 - 4 ounces of the juice and I drink the rest (about 10 ounces). I'm going out today to buy some more veggies and apples and mangoes!!!

I've missed LHCF!
I think that drinking the carrot juice daily has helped a small bald spot on the top of my head to fill in. I am sooo happy about this since my stylist told me at my last visit, that it was alopecia (sp) and that I would get more spots like this. Well Praise God, she was wrong, and there was something I could do about it... (drinking carrot juice)
I have a touch-up this week. I wonder if she will notice

Isis, as I begin my third week(week ahead of you guys) I must say the carrot juice is turning out to be a "magic elixir" for me. My skin is incredible, no breakouts, suppleness, glowing and more even toned. In addition my energy is abound. I am now starting to see and feel the results in my hair. Like you my hair feels smoother, it stays well moisturized even though I'm natural I've had to use very little moisturizer on it.What really has me blown away is the strength and the softness of my hair. I can comb through with almost little or no breakage. I've been juicing 4-5 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 2 romaine/or spinach leaves and a handful of parsley, which makes about 6-8 oz. I drink this daily usually after breakfast.
Thanks for posting this Isis.
I will join this challenge. This will be the first challenge I have joined. I have not been able to join many challenges b/c I did the Big Chop in December. But I will join this one. I actually bought the JuiceMan juicer from an infomercial a week ago. I take all of my vitamins with juice -- so this is perfect. Thanks for the info. & your hair is beautiful.

I like the sound of that, "magic elixir". Thank you Joyous and Kiniki2 for your skin and hair updates! It is amazing what carrot juice will do in such a brief period of time, especially when you compare it to taking vitamins. It's very exciting to learn and see exactly how it's effecting our hair growth and condition.
Thank you too Lovely901Lady! That was a great price for the juicer!

I'm doing the Carrot Essence powder and I'm 3 weeks post-retouch, it seems like I have more new growth then usual. I usually ave. 0.5"/month and it feels like I've already reached it.

Isis,
What do you think about eating baby carrots? I picked up several bags and have been eating a bag a day. I just noticed that I've been eating 16oz a day!!!! Oops!
Anyway, it's only been a little less than two weeks and I have seen softness in my hair as well as the thinning ends in the back improved. (I am also 'Surging' though). I already have very clear skin so I have been paying close attention to my hair.
I tried the Carrot/Apple juice as well and loved it but it feels like I'm cheating since it's not 100% carrot juice.
