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

[Valery]

Completing Day 5 here! It feels GOOD!
I am not feeling any discomfort except that I feel soooo cold all the time and here in Brazil is the peak of summer now! I'm dreaming of a hot tea right now, imagine that. Except for that all is very very good. I still feel hungry but I seem to be managing that better as the days pass, I know for a fact that in a few days I won't feel any hunger at all and will need to reming myself to drink the lemonade otherwise I might end the day and not have had enough (that's what happened last time). I haven't weighted myself but I feel I've already lost some pounds, today I'm wearing a pair of pants that was hanging in my closet for almost 6 months waiting for this moment! Yeepie!

DAY 12 - COMPLETE

Whew! just finished cooking dinner for hubby. Surprisingly, I had absolutely NO CRAVINGS whatsoever. I guess it only makes sense that by now, 12 days in, i'm not craving any solid food at all! All I can say folks is that this gets easier and easier with each passing day. I'm coming to the close of week #2, and I feel teriffic about my progress so far. Somehow, this mornings workout was a bit tiring...hmmmm I sure hope I'm not overdoing it. Don't want my labors to be in vain. Looking forward to tomorrow's workout though...its treadmil...and Iove treadmill.

Congrats Valery. I can totally relate to being able to fit back into "skinny" clothes...LOL!!

Day 4

Lahontani,

I beat on the bottom of the syrup so many times I bruised my hand. I never did get it open but will take it to work tomorrow to see if someone else can open it. I remembered I had some agave in the cabinet and used that until I got to the store today so it worked out okay.

So day 4 almost done!! Today wasn't too bad.

Nearing the end of my day 3. No problems - Whew! Days 3 & 4 are my hardest, so I'm halfway through the tough part. I expect to be feeling and looking great by day 5. Seriously, I reconvert to the Master Cleanse by day 5, every time!

Yesterday was the last day of my cleanse,
I wish everyone success with their cleanse, remember if I can do it you can too!!
Cheers!!!!!!

Congrats, Ratton! Sorry we didn't get to spend more time together this cleanse...maybe next one. Good work!

Day 4

The image of a desperate lemonhead beating, twisting, hot rinsing, and doing any- and every-thing to get open a bottle of maple syrup is pretty funny. Not when it's happening to YOU, of course... Glad you found the agave.

Day 3 Completed! These last three days have been some of the longest, but definitely bearable. Tomorrow I will skip the SWF in the morn I will be leaving early for work. Perhaps I will do it in the evening as I am off. Loving the energy I have!

Hello Napua,

Congratulations on completing Day 3!!

I wouldn't recommend drinking the SWF in the evening; however, I would recommend drinking it two hours before you leave for work. Burrough's says if you are unable to drink the SWF to drink another herbal laxative tea in the morning instead (Page 21, Peter's book). If you drink the tea before you leave for work, be prepared for loud and smelly eliminations approximately five to six hours later I recommend an early SWF to avoid any embarrassment. The last alternative would be to skip the SWF until the next morning.

Btw, the only people I know who drink the SWF other than in the morning work nights .

Best,

Tanya

Day 4 comes to a close and I am feeling fantastic! This has been the easiest beginning yet!

DAY 10! ALMOST COMPLETE

Hello All!

This journey for the last 10 days are unforgettable and appreciate everyone's personal experiences that they share on this forum as it propelled me to reach this goal. All and all it has been a tremendous experience as I put my will power for food to a test and a push to a healthier lifestyle. I have been contemplating of continuing past 10 days but haven't made my decision yet. Through the first 5 days I lost 11LBS and tomorrow morning I will see the final result so I will more than likely decide then whether to continue or not.

Day 7 was the worst for me as I experienced a stuffed and runny nose combined with a throbbing headache and water eyes. It was definitely not a good feeling but I just kept telling myself that I was detoxing and not really sick. I actually felt good about this process even more after I overcame Day 7 because I felt as if this cleanse really did something to me internally. I feel great and lighter in weight but my mental clarity is where its at. Also a lot more energy that I will use right into my diet that should get me back to my target weight.

I'll be back tomorrow and let everyone know my results.

Thanks!

Lahuntani,

It IS funny now but was soooo frustrating the other night!!! I bruised the palm of my hand trying to get that lid off. LOL I took the bottle to work today and one of the guys really strugged for awhile to open it and he hurt the palm of his hand. Tonight I came home with a different brand of syrup. I guess I twisted so hard and determined, I cracked the syrup lid. ROFL At least it is open and ready to pour!

I am on DAY 5. This is the longest I have ever made it. Struggling the last several hours wanting to eat.
