2012: What Day Are You On and How Are You Doing?

[baddison]

Day 2, and so far all is well. This time around, I actually eased off solids two days in advance, so my body was already used to not digesting solids in preparation for the fast. Very very mild, faint headaches, but they usually go away in a few hours, with water. Looking forward to feeling great at the end of thsi 21day cleanse. I'll probably only get on the scale weekly - every Sunday morning - since I started on Jan. 1st which was a sunday. Good luck to all!!

I am on day 2.. can I still take my thyroid medication while i am on this? I take Naturethroid 1 grain

[Doctor Bunsen]

Yes, continue all medications.

I am on Day 2. I am feeling tired and have a bit of a headache.

I keep thinking I want to go to the grocery store to buy some junk to pig out on, but I then I realize I'm not eating. At least I'm not thinking about quitting though.

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.

Ever since my first cleanse the lemonade makes me gag...... yuck!
which I dont understand because it is all POSITIVE nothing negative about it...but i want to barf when i take a drink. of lemon and water with a bit of cayenne...(i do my maple syrup by itself)

I'm starting today! Sometimes its a lot less difficult to keep motivated during the cleanse if you have others on the same day as you, and to relate to eachothers progress. I do the cleanse mainly to clean out all the junk i've consumed within the last year. Last year when i did the cleanse i lost 20 pounds, but gained it all back (and a little more) because I didnt maintain healthy eating habits. The cleanse, in my opinion, is just a small part of what should be a long-term change in a persons eating habits.

But just keep to it, and i'm sure you'll do awesome! Good luck

I read Fit for Life not FAT for Life when I was on my first cleanse (used the potty alot and read there...) it was very informative and has helped me stray from junk food/processed foods, NO dairy, no meats... Fruit till Noon (can't wait until Watermelon comes back in season!!!!)
I ask myself "can i make it myself?" instead of buying it in a box or pre made.
I lost 21 lbs in march 11, lost 10lbs in july 11--ate processed foods, thinking it was ALL THAT--and gained 10 lbs back... since July to Friday I havent gained any weight being good... but i did give into homemade FUDGE.... still no weight gain, but i was swollen... I hope to lose that 10lbs again ... with this MC

Good luck and remember NO JUNK FOOD IN YOUR HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! and don't buy it either.

Hello - I am on my second cleanse and have been on it for 3 days now. I have been going well, but not remembering to do the herbal laxative drink in the morning. Can't do the salt water flush as it makes me feel ill. Have remembered today though, so will be on track now fingers crossed. Will be going for 21 days this time round.

Really looking forward to leaving the excess baggage behind in 2011.

Good luck everyone with your cleanse and here's to our good health in 2012!

ha!!! funny how different steps differ for everyone else.. the lemonade makes me ill... the SWF is my closest thing to FOOD...(on person stated that if you warm it up, it is like Bulliabaise....?) BROTH ....

Day 14 and ending - as promised to my DH so we can spend our Anniversary together this year - toasting with something other than lemonade. I'm moving over to the post-cleanse board. Happy cleansing everyone! It's a great start to a great year - 2012.

So I was going to start my 2012 cleanse over the weekend and I didn't. Weekends are rough to start for me. Seems I've been finding every "reason" to justify putting it off. However, my bmi is now 32%, I'm considered obese and I'm tipped into 200 lbs. What the heck is going on here....... I'll tell you. It's that darn rollercoaster. Up, down, up, down.... for over 10 years. It's completely sad and tiring and I think I'm done... So will be starting this cleanse tomorrow. Enough is enough. I've done so many things that are hard, and for some reason letting go of food feels like the last huge hurdle to overcome in my life. I can do it. I will do it.

Congrats to everyone out there cleansing and all the newbies. This forum is what helped me stick through my first cleanse and I am so grateful for it!

I am on day 2nd. Today I am going to take the tea the first time. I had to order it online, so I couldn't do it the first day.
Well, I am excited for that. Otherwise I am doing pretty good. I am thinking about becoming vegetarian/part-vegan and
even went to fast food restaurants websites today to see what thing I could order if I went there. Willpower of steel
