Re: 2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?
I'm starting day 4 -- doing well, but still having problems with the swf... I got up this morning and drank the flush by 4:30 am --- it's 5:30 and nothing happening yet. (I leave for work at 7:30am so I'm hoping it does what it needs to be before then).. Yesterday I drank the SWF and I didn't have any movement until late last night.... my detox symptoms are mostly feel tired... mild headache.
Early this morning I had three BM... dark not yellow .... but nothing since the SWF... is this normal??? I am taking the correct amount (I've checked and rechecked) --- is there something more I need to be doing or just let things go as they may.,...
Doing ok in NYC...

Hi Labelle -Originally Posted by Labelle
The SWF has always worked for me. The only time it didn't was because I was using pretty coarse sea salt and realized there was probably alot of air space when measuring the 2 tsp. Once I packed in the salt and measured 2 heaping tsp into the quart of water it worked like a charm once again!
Hope this helps.

almost finished with day 1. Everything came out the way that I was expecting. Just finished cooking dinner for my sons and only looked at it a little longingly. The only thing that I wasn't expecting is how unbearably disgusting the "lemonade" tastes. I am gagging it down and am having a hard time imagining sticking with it for nine more days.
Re: 2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?
Day 3 done... and just worked a 14 hour day... what a hell is in this lemonade anyway?
Don't get me wrong I love this feeling, it is just a little odd when you try an explain to people that you actually have more energy on this cleanse.
They look at me like I am nuts, and I smile and say... NO REALLY!
So I have lasted 2 more days that I thought... this week should be a breeze... over the first 2 day hump.. into the feeling good days till 6...but then the weekend.. two 4 year old birthdays.. urg! One of them being mine, and she is already not happy that I am not sharing her food. Maybe more people will distract her right? We will see...
Funny thing is I haven't weighed myself yet... this time it is more about flushing crap out. The first time through, the dark circles under my eyes went away... and that is enough for me to sign up again.
peaceful dreams.

Oh the SWF... Are you drinking the laxative tea the night before?
This is how it has worked for me.. laxative tea in pm, SWF as soon as I wake up for the first bathroom trip (~6am), then rest ~30 min, then pour my first glass of lemonade or tea, start drinking and the rest is history. I do not drink the lax tea in the am, I have found it is just too much for me. Hope this helps...

just starting day 2 and I literally feel like they portray the heroin junkie going through detox. I have seriously been FREEZING since about 4:00 yesterday. Drank some hot mint tea, took a hot bath, slept with a heat pad near... Freezing! Also my caffeine headache is much worse today than it was yesterday. Any ideas?
Re: 2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?
Day 2, planning on 10. Did 10 once before about 4 years ago. I remember the 2nd day being much tougher then this. I have been living a much cleaner lifestyle as far as diet goes but nothing drastic. I know each cleanse is a little different and I've read that some people hardly have any detox pains etc.. the whole way thru. I think last time I read about so many people suffering that I just expected it to happen and so it did. I'm taking a more positive approach this time and expecting an easy go of it. I guess a mental toughness approach is what I'm saying. We'll see.
Enjoying the winter in Tampa Fl

robertamae78 .... HOT SHOWERS!!! Last time I did the MC I had very similar detox symptoms as you're having. I have a walk in shower so I brought in a plastic chair and just sat under the hot water. I definitely seemed to help.
Re: 2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?
Yes, thank you very much.
I have been doing the tea morning and evening. I will wait for my next day off (Friday) do the SWF Friday AM - Saturday AM --- knowing that I don't have to go to work makes it easier on me.
Tea is helping... I drink a cup when I get to work... ( I have a busy morning when I get up so it works for me...)
Thank you again... feeling GREAT by the way!!! More energy than I expected... Yippieeeee !!!! :-)
