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

[tree]

Hey, this is my first time on this forum. I have done the MC before but I have only lasted 7 days and my mind thought that was the hardest thing on earth. But I really do love the MC!! I feel so awesome. I'm having a hard day and this is DAY 1 and it's not noon yet and I just want to eat a cow! I don't even eat red meat either. I hope that this isn't the way this cleanse is going to go. I'm going to need tons of support!!!

Hi Tree!! I would say that every time you have a craving and you want to eat something, drink some lemonade. That totally helps. Also, the first few days when you're just getting into the swing of things are tough. Once you get over the hump it'll be good.

I am SO excited to have someone else on day 1 with me! We are gonna knock these 10 days out like it's nothin'.

Hi Tree and Baileysmama,

My name is Bob and I started yesterday (4.11.12) as well. This is my 3rd cleanse. I did a longer one in both 2010 and 2011.
I am experiencing a very good start this time around.

Day 3!!

Good morning all/Tree & Bob!

Things are going smoothly so far, knock on wood, no major detox yet. I'm gonna try to make it happen - I've found in the past that taking a shot of lemonade mixed with a big scoop of cayenne brings on a detox day like you would not believe so I'll be doing that tonight. All I have on my agenda tomorrow is yard work, which makes me crabby anyway so really what's a little detox to go with it?

Still, my only issue is being so tired. I have to get up really early, 3:40 to drink my SWF to make sure it's all out of my system by 6:30 when I leave for work. Even though I get back into bed for about an hour and a half, it's not easy to sleep with 32 oz of salt water gurgling around. So what I'm saying is, 3:40 is not a happy time to wake up and then function at work all day. But, I will push through just like everyone else on the MC

Tree? Bob? How are things going for you guys??

Have a wonderful day!

And evidently I've looked like you-know-what for the last two days. One of my coworkers came into my office just now and said 'well, you look better today, thought you were getting sick the last couple days'. It's nice to know that things are clicking today, a little worrying to know I looked terrible

Hi Everyone,

Day 5 for me today. Just checking in to say hi, it's been a while since I've been here.

Love,

Day 3

Overall the day has gone well. Definately felt some strong hunger pangs a few times. I will be on vacation for the rest of my cleanse, which for me, makes things quite a bit easier.

Baileysmama,

Could you elaborate on your lemonade/cayenne shot? How much of each do you use and what types of detox effects does it cause for you? Extra trips to the bathroom?

Getting up at 3:40 on a work day and doing yardwork all day while doing the cleanse...you are one tough customer!

By the way I have a female black lab as well.....wonderful dog.

Hi Everyone! Checking in as I'm thinking to try my 2nd MC here very soon. I tried one over a month ago and only made it to day 5...which was disheartening to say the least. Recently, a friend got me involved in the Ideal Protein diet and needless to day, I feel like sh**! My stomach is so distended right now from all that protein, I look like I could be a few months pregnant. Enter Master Cleanse! Just going to hang around for a few days and follow everyone, maybe have a limeaid here and there. Then I plan to be back and try making it longer. Even if every time I only make it one more day, that's still one more day. I got really discourage the last go and that's ultimately why I quit...I lost faith in the process itself. So, I guess I'm looking for some motivation. Good luck to everyone here! And please fill me in on what benefits you experienced and when! Thanks! Lucy

Hi ! Thank you for posting. It's my first time posting here. I started the lemonade cleanse on Wednesday. looking forward to completing it three times for forty days. I'm posting here and at this time because I need your support. Everything I see I feel like I want to it. Starting weight: 331.6 today Saturday at 3:59am: 326.0
I'll be posting weight every five days and measurements every weekend. So keep post it and please reply. I'm looking for Inspiration. Thank you.

Visualize then Materialize.

Hi Lucy,

I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit on what you meant by losing faith in the process. What would you like to ultimately gain from doing the cleanse? It kinda sounds like you have some mixed feelings about the whole thing...i.e. you are not sure if the cleanse will give you the results you want and at the same time very hard on yourself for only making it 5 days.
Once you have that sorted out I believe you will easily make the full 10 days.

Each time that I have done the cleanse I have noticed improved digestion and metabolism. I also tend to lose quite a bit of weight.

Bob
