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

Hello everyone, I am on day 7 now and man I really REALLY want to eat! I just keep thinking about food! All kinds and everything I want to eat when I am off this cleanse. I keep looking at my list of why I went on this cleanse, mostly my acne and of course to loose a few pounds. Although I know I have lost pounds I have not lost any inches at ALL... so I guess that is kinda not helping my wanting to eat and sufficing my being down with food. The pounds I lost I am sure some are good pounds, but also a lot of water weight which will just come back. MAN, my roommate just walked in from Trader Joes with cheeses, salami.. OMG, I hope this goes away tomorrow.

Okay this is my first post and I DID IT! Today is day 10 and I have had my last glass of lemonade. (My belly is growling as I type) I followed everything in the diet from the AM saltweater to lemoande all day to the tea at night. BUT DO I DRINK THE TEA TONIGHT?????????? Plus I lost 2 inches from my belly and 17 pounds!

Today is day 16 and I am ending tomorrow. Yeah me. The only reason I am ending is because I have to have bloodwork done for surgery the beginning of next month and I dont want my bloodwork to be off and they postpone my surgery.

Do you think doing MC would effect it?

I am craving some collard greens soooooo bad. Coming off the cleanse, how much more do you think I could lose? I have to stay under 200 for my surgery, so 24 more days.

Someone please encourage mr or give me hope.

Nope, no tea tonight! I had asked that in the coming off the cleanse section!

Day 10 for me also ... Not got much to report ... Gonna keep going for as long as I possibly can ... I have been lucky so far in that I didn't have any work for the whole duration of the cleanse, but if that situation changes, I might have to come off earlier than I would like. On the other hand, I have come this far, I do need to make some money again soon, so it shouldn't be such a big disaster to quit when that day comes. I'll be around in any case. Love you all, my fellow lemonheads ... x

Good morning!

It's day 4 for me and yesterday already feels better than yesterday. Yesterday I really had the desire to eat. Had dinner w/ some friends last nite and that was fine except I was mesmerized by the avocados. She has a huge tree and that was what I wanted- so that seems like a healthy desire.

Got home late and decided to sleep in and skip my run which has been hard. I drank more lemonade yesterday but still probably not enough. Anyway, I think I'll go for a walk or do some yoga later or maybe nothing at all. I am tired today but I do feel like it will be an easier day. I feel calm and mellow which I appreciate when I seem to have a million things to get done.

Hope today cruises by!

I am on day four. I have been feelig good besides going to the batroom a lot! I was wondering...Is it okay to give blood on the MC?

Hi all! I did it. I finished 12 days. Yeah. I slowly drank 16oz of fresh squeezed OJ this morning and boy was it good. All in all, I lost 10 pounds and lots of inches. Unfortunately, I didn't measure before hand. Anyway, the real reason I started this was to clear up my skin and I must say it looks better than it has months. Overall, I feel like I gained back 2 years of youthfulness. I am so happy I did this for myself. It was a fabulous way to kick start a new diet/lifestyle. If I can go 12 days w/o food, I can discipline myself to eat only good whole raw food.
Anyway, for everybody on their way, you are going to be so happy you stuck with it! Keep going!
I'm going to check out the 'breaking the fast' thread and I'll be back for some spring cleaning!

I didnt drink the tea on day 10 and I am now sipping on some incredible Orange Juice. Plus when I got on the scale this morning I lost another pound and a half. The cleanse now took 19 pounds in 11 days and I feel incredible, thank you Master cleanse inventor and thank you lemon heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! Day 8 for me! I can't believe I made it this far and I have not at all cheated! Yesterday was my first real craving for food and today I am just really really thirsty for something other than lemonaide or water.... I would love a glass of iced tea with sugar!

This is my first 10 day cleanse and I am wondering if anyone else on their cleanse experience has had a tremendously easy time? I read some posts about horrible experiences, but I have not had any at all accept minor knee pain?!? I don't get it!
