What day are you on and How are you doing: General Check in

[MrsFocht]

Thank you Laura and SuperCleanser, I know, I am just emotional, it sucks! I think I am just going to say screw it and get it cut super super short, like pixie short, you only live once right?
Don't worry, I am going later to get my money back!

I am a newbe and am planning on starting my first cleanse on Monday(4/23), I was wondering if there is anything I should start doing to lead up to the cleanse?? I have bought the MC kit online and have read the book "Lose Weight, Have more Energy and be happier in 10 days." I am a little scared to start this... Also, is there anyone that is planning on starting around the same time as me? (4/23/07) It would be nice to have day by day support with someone else-- I have tried to get my friends to join me on the MC, but everyone thinks it sounds too intense.
Thank you,
Marley

Hey Hey

excited to be here
this is my first ever cleanse
and I'm on day 1
I've read about all I can
and I feel ready.
Day 1 is good so far...
just not looking forward to the SWF
:P
my start weight is 188 (after having 2 babies ) & I'm 5'7"
looking forward to getting a little LIGHTER on my feet

anyone have lots of hiccups and burping in the beginning?
I've had hiccups off & on all day which is highly unusual for me.

i wasn't going to write since i need to get ready for work but i thought what aaalllen said was hilarious. it's not real speed dating, it's an advertising job interview type things that's like speed dating. i want a job not a bf. i'm very much happy and in love with this young man that calls to say he wants to come over and hold my hand and lay up in my hair.

MrsFocth - sorry to hear about the cut, but remember it is just a cut and it's not the end of the world. If you don't feel better about it tomorrow go back and have them fix it. That's happened to me before (except it was an uneven mess) and I know how stressful and annoying that can be. but don't let it get you down. you're still beautiful and you're still you and hair grows back. if you do go back tomorrow fuss and make sure they fix it up for free. and honestly, from the pic, it doesn't look bad at all.

welcome mLaurie. be sure to read the general help for newbies thread. yes you do need the ms. and the salt needs to say "not a source of iodine" if not, go get some new salt.

happyhappyjoyjoy - loved that you checked in. i prob won't be cleansing in july but i'll be here. i love that you give to charity instead of breast implants. that's awesome

ladydipa - keep going the weight will come off. you've been doing so good. don't stress about the scale. focus on how you feel. no you haven't been sabotaging yourself but now that you know the right way to do things just make the switch. that's what the newbies thread is about, making sure people aren't being led astray.

hey laura thanks for joining us over here.

superboobies, i only talk fast on fridays. and saturday thru thursday. these georgians don't know what to do about me. lol. i tried to send you a pm but your box is full. empty it immediately.

pb: I just did.

marley, welcome! read the general help for newbies thread. it has so many tips and advice and how tos. it will make your cleanse so much easier since you'll know more of what to expect.

karma-ma - welcome to you too. i had hiccups alot in the beginning to. i donno why. well i knew why. i think it was the cayenne. and of course, your body detoxing. but it went away. thankfully. it was hard to keep up a conversation when i couldn't even complete a two syllable word.

Snarky Gald you are doing the cleanse and taking the senna pills. For what its worth, I did not hear Peanutterb as patronizing at all. Her and I really just wanted to help you move toward your goals.

osalazar All I can say is F'ing F*** F*** F** F*** F***!. I was cursing up a storm the other day and hating the world. All the selfishness of corporations and that we as a civilization are poisoning our planet, how I can be selfish and fall in step with so much of what is wrong with society, how I have been poisoning myself all these years, you name it. I was on a rampage; then it was gone. I see it as mental toxicity. Vent it out (an elimination) and move on. Don't sweat the language implications. We are all adults. If my language offends anyone, (everyone and anyone) please let me know. I think this cleanse is deep and it effects us all deeply. For me, I express myself openly and honestly with the simple intention of giving and receiving support and care (with a little humor thrown in for good measure .

Gaggirl 2 more days. Don't give in!! And certainly don't go to those processed food hell holes!! Your cravings have to be detox, those chains want you addicted to their garbage (read the Healing Crisis or rent Super Size Me is you haven't already seen it). 8 Days is amazing, a testament to your conviction, and with people undermining you, I can see how it is tough right now. People on the boards are going for 30+ days. You can do this! 2 more days and then delicious fresh fruit juices.

Aaalllen I am with you, confused about peanut. Do you think its a detox symptom or is there something she's not telling us

Marley Welcome. I had the same issue as you. This board became my family. Incidentally, you will begin your cleans as I end mine. read he newbies thread, listen to the senior members and keep going!

Keep Cleansing!!

"butters" was me watching too much southpark last night. i could have sworn she said speed dating.

and i couldn't tell if supercleanser's speed dating head spinning was aimed at me or peanut, but the times i've gone, i normally get the gals chatting about themselves too much. i'm an interviewer type / question asker. it's a good litmus test though... who's going to take time to stop talking about themself and show interest in the other person?

[peanutterb]

i did mention speed dating, but that was the context it was in. the ad event i was contemplating going to. i've decided not to go. i prefer one on one attention.

Thanks for the welcome! Day 2, did I say that?
