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

[Purangl07]

Hi Lemonheads!

Starting the cleanse tomorrow (May 1st)... I haven't been able to get myself to complete the cleanse in the last couple of years due to health problems that... at the time, I didn't know I had. Female issues (polyps and a large tumor in the wall of my uterus) which eventually led to a hysterectomy March 2011. As soon as I had the surgery I immediately realized how miserable I had been for the last couple of years. Now I am ready!!

Not looking forward to the detox days but I will get thru it Days 2 & 3 I usually crave the crap I shouldn't be eating... good riddens... lol

Good to see you here purangl07!

We're starting together - so grateful to have each other.

Getting ready to drink my lax tea and mentally prepare myself for the next 14 days...

We can do it and we'll be so much better for it!

Morning all -

I have downed my first SWF of this cleanse. Sometimes people write how awful it is and how they sometimes throw it all back up. I've never had that problem, but I'm sitting here feeling very poorly. I think it's the quality of the sea salt. I sometimes bring good celtic sea salt down from the U.S. but don't have any right now so I just got some local sea salt. It has an unpleasant flavor and it makes me queasy. I wish I had a source for some better salt around here, but I don't. Right now not looking forward to 14 more days of this part. Looking forward to my LA soon which will hopefully settle this bad feeling before I go to yoga class.

Day 8 and all is well. I have lost 10 lbs but the weight loss stopped 2 days ago. My scales must be "stuck". Is this something to be expected or can I hope for more shedding of lbs? Hmm....either way, I feel good and still debating on to more days after my 10...one day at a time, we'll see!

Yep, that sun is still shinning at my house and it's another great day. I truely hope all is well with each of you and you day is filled with many many smiles

good luck to all that are just starting out. If I can make it this far, then I know you can....Happy, happy day.

Hi little piper - way to go!! You're doing great!

I often level off for a day or two, pound-loss-wise, but not to worry, it will keep coming off. The most important thing is that you feel good.
I'm considering not even getting on the scale until after my second post-MC transition day. But then again, I get so excited to see it going down on a daily basis, I may just have to peek. The scale is unbearably high right now. I've been eating so poorly for a couple of weeks (and on and off in general) that I'm really looking to the flushing out of toxins and junk.

Keep enjoying the sunshine! Sunny and gorgeous where I am as well.

Thanks for the encouragement - good reminder that we can all do it!

Have a great day -

Hi Colbri, thankyou for answering my question. That certainly gives me a reason to go on beyond my 10 days. I"d like to go for 14, but without seeing the weight dropping, just don't know if I will be motivated enuf. can't stay off those scales this time, thats what keeps me going. Maybe on my next cleanse.

Hope your SWF made you feel better. My 1st 2 days were not so fun either. Hopefully you can find some salt that will be tasty for ya also. I have the celtic sea salt and it taste so good that I can hardly wait to jump out of bed and gulp it down. It is truely yum, yumyy. (NOT) Actually, I'm like you, the salt water is not a big problem for me.

enjoy your afternoon and thankyou again for giving me a reply....talk to ya soon

The sun is shinning at my house!

Hi everyone,

Day 4 and feeling better than I expected.

Little piper, like Colibrihms, I've hit plateaus on other MCs. After a day or 2, sometimes 3 the weight started coming off again. Hang in there, the benefits besides weightloss are amazing. The MC always helps me reorient my attitude toward food. I find myself making better, healthier choices, so the weightloss continues, all be it a little slower . Plus I have much more energy, I sleep better, my skin is softer and clearer. That's what I'm looking forward to!

All together I've lost 5.2 lbs. this time around. Never lost that much weight before in the first 3 days.

Hi to all the MC's... Hope yall all are doing good on your MC.
I am on day 5 and have stopped looseing weight, I am stuck at 5lbs but
really wish it was more. I am still having issues with the SWF, the first 3
days were better as far as drinking it but now I just shiver of the thought.
I also don't think it all flushes out, it seems like more goes in that out. I have
also to have a solid BM. We are planning a trip to MEXICO and I think that
is making me crave that yummy food that I can't have right now....
I will continue with for the 10 days as planned and I don't mind the
lemonade and the lax tea but the SWF ummm yeah I can say I dislike!
Anyway much luck to all...

Hey MC's... Day 1 here. I've never had any problems with the SWF other that feeling full, but a good tip... always brush your teeth BEFORE starting to drink the SWF. I've made that mistake before and if you have any issues at all with gagging when brushing... uh, well you know! I am one of those that weighs everyday to see the results, so we will see what the first day yields. I usually lose 10-14 lbs on a 10 day cleanse. Trying to strum up the willpower to get to 20 days, we'll see how it goes. Not looking forward to my first icky detox day (day 2 or 3). Today I have felt pretty good... beside having to pee every half hour. Six lemonades down and 16oz of water in between each drink. Glad to have this forum to read to see how everyone else is doing. Good luck to you all...
