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

[Purangl07]

Good Morning All,

Sorry I was away all day yesterday and didn't get to post. Sounds like everyone is doing great! Yesterday I was 1 lb up, I believe because I only had 8 glasses of water instead of my usual 10, but today I am down 2, for a totals of 11 lbs lost in 5 days. Today is day 6 and I have had no major detox yet. I think that is due to the fact that some of us have done the cleanse many times. For the last year I have eaten much healthier due to having to stay home because I have been unemployed and eating healthier at home instead of eating out.

Just relaxing all day today, watching the Nascar race! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

MASTER CLEANSE DAY 6:

What a beautiful Sunday!!! My cleanse gets simpler as time goes by. Today at church we had a luncheon, and I gotta tell you the honest truth: I did not crave a single thing I was smelling. For a fleeting moment, I thought to myself "why not just end this cleanse now?" But then I remind myself of a few things. (1) I am NOT a quitter. I've started my 6th cleanse, and no matter what it takes I'll finish strong (2) Its day six...what the heck is four more days out of my lifetime. FOOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE!! (3) The benefits of cleansing are astronomical. Plus a few more pep-talks that always do the trick to get me focused and back on track. So tomorrow is day 7, and before you know it my cleanse will be over.

I finally decided to get on the scale. Promised myself I simply wouldn't bother with WEIGHT this time around. But the suspense was killing me. Down 6 pounds. A definitely nothing to shout about, but good nonetheless. I am really impressed with this cleanse because I just don't seem to have any detox symptoms this time around. To be fair, I HAVE cleaned up my diet quite a bit since my January 1st cleanse. Less fats, no more white flour, no more white sugars, no more white rice, and no more white pastas. Totally whole grains, wheats, fibers all the way. I have also been eating lots more nuts, vegetables, salads, and fish. Its really a truth that what you put INTO your body matters. I'm loving the outcome totally!

I agree with you Purangl07. I think the more often you cleanse, along with EATING HEALTHIER....allows you to have less impacting detox symptoms. However, I'm a bit bummed that I am not dropping more weight. Perhaps its imply because I dont have much to lose in the first place??? Any how....many congrats on your 11 pounds, and on reaching Day 5!!!

Winding Down Day 6 (of 14)!

I have been to more gatherings including amazing food on this cleanse than any other cleanse. Just like Baddison said, I'm actually not craving anything I'm seeing. Most of the time I'm just happy to sip my juice. I know there is plenty of food to come pretty soon and I know how amazingly good it will taste. I can wait! Of course sometimes I just want a different flavor in my mouth, and to chew something .... but what I do is take a deep whiff of a good food and "swallow" and it's such a treat! No food in, of course, but it kind of seems like it!

Baddison - thanks for all the great reminders and pep talk for all! Congrats on truly cleaning up your diet. I too have cleaned up mine - maybe not quite as much as you, but mostly whole foods, minimal processed foods, etc.

I feel less energetic this cleanse than previous cleanses. Today I realized that I'm not getting as much exercise as I normally get on cleanses - so I'm guessing that's the reason. Gotta get back out on the trails! My stomach is still flabby and pooched out. Exercise will help that too!

Keep it up, All!!!

I'm gearing up for another cleanse. Gathering all my ingredients together and psyching myself up. This will be my second and I intend to do it by the book, to the letter and as hardcore as possible. The plan is to continue as long as possible. I have set a target of 28 days. My first ended rather abruptly at 11 days. If I start on the day I plan to it will be exactly 10 weeks since I finished my last cleanse. I know that people on this forum and Glickman himself advise waiting three or four months between cleanses but I really feel I have to do something now. My plan of kicking bad habits and embarking on a new, healthier lifestyle fell flat on its face immediately after finishing the cleanse. This time I'll do it right.

Just a quick note.
I just did my SWF ... but it tasted extra salty. I realized I used the 1/2 Tbsp measure instead of the 1 tsp. - so my SWF had a full TBSP in it. Whoops. After drinking about 1/3 of it, I added some water to adjust the concentration, then I drank down to about the amount I had added and threw the rest out. Hopefully this won't affect the results of the SWF too much one way or another. I'll let you all know if it does - whooops!

Good morning everyone

Day 14 and I still have lemons that my husband brought home....SOOOOOOO, I have now decided that I will try to keep going until my tongue turns that pretty pink color that everyone talks about. Not sure how long that takes but I will give it a try, "not a promise" but a TRY..

Shakey..sounds like you are pretty determined this time and your mind is made up. Thats a good thing! I think that is a big key to making it thru this MC sucessfully. In fact, I think that is the biggest decision one must make to go all the way. Good luck. I know you can do it. For me, it has gotten easier every day. I hope that holds true for you also.

colibrimhs.....Yuck, how did you drink it? Surely, your little tummy won't notice the difference just this one time! or maybe it will flush everything completely out and you will lose 10 lbs in 1 day...If you do lose the 10 lbs, let me know and I'll double up on my salt tomorrow.

sun is shinning!

Good afternoon fellow Lemonheads. I am on day 3 and feeling great. This is my first cleanse and it is truly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The cayenne gets my gag reflex going a little bit (not a big spicy foods eater), but I just drink the LAs quickly through a straw and then chug water afterward before the feeling sets in. I am planning for 21 days. I spent time reading all of your posts while psyching myself up for the cleanse and it has made it easier knowing exactly what to expect. Yes, I read the book - but real posts from people currently living the process are invaluable. Thank you!

MASTER CLEANSE DAY 7:

Greetings again my fellow "lemonheads"...LOL. I am coming up on the home stretch here, and I just love the feeling of success and accomplishment I get with every single cleanse. I am looking forward to my first sip of Orange Juice in three days...but still, I dont want to rush the week. My energy levels have returned!! I got up at my regular 4:30am and hit the treadmil with a vengeance! It felt so good. Looking forward to tomorrows workout too - maybe ZUMBA! Nothing disasterous to report. Eliminations are happening regularly, and with them, toxins are being expelled. I'll be internally "clean" by mothers day, and then, we have a nice vacation coming up in a few weeks. Loving the way I look and cant wait to show off the body. This master cleanse truly just melts away excess and unneccessary fat, and it is quite noticeable. I took a chance starting this cleanse so close to Mother day. But the good news is that my stomach will be so small, I wont even have a chance to over indulge for the occassion!! YAAY, ME!!!!

Hi selway......wow, thats great that you are feeling so well. Sure hope my mind will stay in good spirits and allow me to go 21 days, or longer. Like I said earlier, it just gets easiler for me every day. I feel so full now when I drink my breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also make me a lemonade icee for my afternoon treat.. All of ya'll need to try it, it is truely yummy and I eat it with a spoon. Yes I get to use utensils! what a delight!

My weight seems to have stalled again. I haven't been drinking as much water as I need to/so I started drinking as much as I possibly can again today. I think purangle07 and a few others on here are right about the water consumption and weight loss. They go hand and hand.

Hey all, thanks to each and everyone of you for bringing your experiences in this mc. It has really been a big help for me to read from each of you every day and I appreciate it.

All righty then, the sun is shining at my house even tho its raining outside Hope its shining at your house too.

congratulations Baddison.....You are right...it truely is a great feeling..So glad you feel so good about this and you are and have met your goals...way to go
