I am new at this and will be starting tomorrow Jan 16, 2012. I wish I could post a before and then after picture for you to see. I am excited about this and can't wait to get started. I am not only over weight, but smoke, and have a horrible diet. New year, New me, can't wait!

Good Morning Fellow Cleansers,
Today is Day 1 for me and I am trying to be optimistic. I have had one successful cleanse before (13 days about a year ago) and about 50 (exaggeration, but pretty close to it) unsuccessful ones. For my first successful cleanse I practically lived on this site reading about what everyone else was going through and I think that has been the missing link for all my unsuccessful cleanses. All my unsuccessful cleanses I felt alone and I like I was punishing myself instead of creating a better life for me. So here I am trying to cleanse for at least 10 days (ideally would like to go 20 days). I miss the mentally clarity, energy, and extremely positive outlook I had after my first cleanse. Not to mention the flat stomach, less smelly gas, and overall healthy feeling. I am preparing myself for the detox symptoms. My last successful cleanse I was freezing all the time (I guess its because I am generally cold anyway) and had bad headaches and extreme exhaustion for like the first 4 days. But after that I was fine. So here I am ready to get started!!! Can't do the SWF being that I have to be to work early and can't wake up any early than I already do (so not a morning person) so I will be drinking two cups of tea a day and doing the SWF on the weekends.
Will update you guys daily!!! Wish me luck!!!

Welcome CleansingInNYC! Best Advice i can give it to take one day at a time. And in that day, take one hour at a time. Remember to drink all your lemonades, remember to chug down additional water, too. Good Luck. And like you already mentioned, if you check here often, you will find all the support you need. Two Thumbs Up!!

Today is Day 2! I had started on Jan 1, 2012, but for some reason I just couldn't stick with it. It is so important to be mentally prepared to do this. I am already feeling some detox symptoms...feeling cold and also have an upset stomach...can't wait to get home so I can lay down. Stay focused everyone!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm almost over with day 9 here. Today for some reason was a little harder, I guess I'm just kind of bored to have only the same taste day after day. I don't feel hungry anymore and I got to the point where I really have to remind myself to drink the lemonade otherwise I'm so busy at work that I forget it. Like I said, I'm taking a week at a time and I'm decided to go for one more week, until next Sunday at least. I weighted myself yesterday and found out that I have lost 7,3lbs! That's pretty good, exactly how it's supposed to be..1 pound a day well, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!

I started my second cleanse today, been prepared for this for a few weeks but I got a bad cold and just couldn't start. So today is Day 1 finally! Not halfway through the say my headache is just screaming. So I got on the forum to healp get through it. Keep sharing and I will too, when I make it to my next day. One day at a time here.

Day9 here , woke up with a raging tooth ache.. I have been brushing my teeth 3 times a day because of all the acid from the lemon . So not sure if this is a detox symtom or not . Had to take a tylonol pain was so bad .. I am going to call the dentist first thing in morning, but the last time I had this kind of pain (ten years) If I remember I had ato have a root canal. and they put me on antibiotics . So my ? to anyone out there how would that happen on a cleanse. Any thoughts????

I made it through Day 1!!! Between my energy being low and my sinuses acting up I slept through most of the day yesterday. My dreams were overtaken by juicy cheeseburgers (mind you I usually don't even eat beef), tacos and turkey and cheese sandwiches. My dreams were so real I would jump up and really have to ask myself did I really mess up on Day 1???!!! Lol. I know, a hot mess.
Usually I try to get to the gym at least 3x a week but I know for the first week of the cleanse that will be impossible for me, so I'm walking instead. I did my 44 block walk yesterday and felt great but exhausted afterwards. I'm off again today so it will probably be another lazy day. My sister and niece came over this morning and brought my favorite turkey and cheese sandwich, but after the BM (prob TMI, sorry) and the nausea that came with it, I didn't even want to think about eating it.
So here I am, Day 2, still going strong!!! Even considering going the full 40 Days but taking it one minute at a time!!! Off to make my morning tea and lemonade!!! Speak to you soon and thanks for the encouragement!!!
