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

[Red Rose]

Hi everyone this is my 1st cleanse and would like to know how others are doing? I am on day 1, have not been hungry and no headaches, I am now drinking the lemomade but I put to much chayanne in and its HOT but will drink it anyway. will defenitely not put that much on the next one.
I did the SWF and instead of having a BM I vomited.... not fun at all. Has anyone had this happend? How are yall mixing the lemonade water/ms/lemon juice ratio, I need to mix alot for my busy days, I have 3 kids and dont have much time to do it as needed so I would love it if anyone can help me with this.

Hi everyone - I have been having a very difficult time committing to the MC this time around. I tried about 2 weeks ago and on Day 2, each time around 4pm I crashed and caved in to anything that even remotely resembled food. I wasn't posting in the forum - I wasn't participating - possibly a problem? I think so.

I do need to lose some extra baggage, weight that is. The primary reason I am committing to at least 10 days is to reset my priorities and reclaim my health. I'm 61 years old this go 'round - and it's become increasingly more difficult for me to follow any new or old "diet" regimen. I've tried them all, some with success, some not so much. I do remember doing a number of MCs and feeling so energized and clean afterwards. It was like a shift occurred in my mind or something and it was completely natural or second nature for me to choose just the right "food" at the right time in the right amount to completely satisfy me.

I sooo want that again. I'll be posting, listening and sharing 'cause I know it helps.

Before I got some stronger cayenne & upped it to 2 tsp/litre I was full of the joys of spring until I remembered that I was feeling chipper because the magic had not yet kicked in!

Soon enough the strangely comforting dull headache returned to let me know all was on track! Eager me, only on my 1st litre of lemonade & all!

It's been way too long since my last cleanse and boy have I gone too long! Treasuring the detox symptoms like the milestones they are! I'm ready!!

Day 5 and the sun is shining at my house. I have felt great since the morning of the 3rd day. I've lost 9 lbs and of course hope for more. I"ve not had hungar pains or deep cravings altho some of the commercials on TV look pretty inviting. Luckily the thought quickly dissipates. I look forward to my day as I feel full of energy and plenty to do.

Hope all is well with everyone and you have a great day.

on day 3 of the MC so far so good. no headaches not hungry but I am frezzing. I am still having a hard time with the SWF.
my family like to watch cooking shows and some of that suff look SO good so I try to keep myself busy when they are watching
them. i don't have much cravings but when I see the food I know it taste good so my mouth does water. I am looking forward
to doing the 10 day. wish me luck and like wise I wish you all luck on your MC.

Hi Guys, I'm on day 3 of the cleanse but my weight did not decrease. I followed the steps but still did not see any changes on my weight. Btw, I am experiencing the detox effects. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

[Red Rose]

hi there cheecheryl so we are both starting our 4th day, is it your first MC? How have you been doing with it so far?
It is my first one ever and I am really surprised at how well I am doing, I didn't think I would be able to do it for a
day haha. So you haven't seen any diff in your weight, well don't give up I am sure you will soon. The first 2 days I
didn't see any but today I saw that I lost 5lbs so I am sure you will see it soon. Good luck.

Hi everyone - Day 2 and still going strong. Really pleased I haven't caved yet. It seems to be a mental thing - the commitment on these first 3 days is really important for me, that and knowing what I really want to accomplish this time around.

Congratulation little piper on 5 days - lucky you no detox symptoms!

cheecheryl I wish I could help you out with why you're not seeing any decrease in weight. I'm with you on the detox symptoms - not fun, right? There are some really great posts on what to expect under the heading "Detox symptoms love them . . ." There maybe some answers there for you regarding weight loss as well.

Red Rose - 5 lbs. is great - good for you! I generally find I lose weight quickly the first few days and then slow down until Day 7 or so. I was down 2 lbs. from yesterday to today - on Day 2 and feeling pretty good

Day 6

Thankyou Burmsx4, but my 1st 2 days were pretty miserable. I was in bed with a terrible headache by 2pm on my 1st day and my 2nd day was filled with muscle aches and pains.. Since my 3rd day, things have really turned around and I'm pretty happy with this whole thing..You mentioned earlier that you were 61 yrs young. I am also and I know how ya feel about making a commentment...It was hard for me too but I just had to do something about the 30 lbs that I gained. Actually, I quit smoking Jan.6, and I guess everything I have eaten has turned to fat. Well, here I am and I'm truely ready to loose the 30 and get healthy all over. Gonna try the 30 day Raw challenge when I get thru with this MC.

Good luck to you Burmsx4, I know you can do it. I come on here every day, just to check in and read about everybody else so let me know whats going on with ya..I'll be cheering for ya! Go girl!

Chee cheryl, I wish I knew how to help you but this is my 1st MC ever. I just don't think I'm qualified to give out advice just yet. Look at the other threads, they have answers for just about every question you can think of..Good luck to you.

redrose, I've been colder than normal also, they say thats just part of it. Put on some sock and don't go barefooted or naked. LOL that should help.

I hope this is a good thang for all of us....btw, the sun is shinning at my house and I feel good..Have a great day all.

Good morning Lemon Heads!

Back for MC #9!

Really needing the cleanse on all levels.

Today I'm planning on mostly green smoothies and fresh foods to "ease in". Tonight I'll take the lax tea and tomorrow morning I'll get up early enough to do the SWF (and the "results") before going to yoga.

Hope everyone's doing well! We're all here to support each other!

Take care,
