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

[rahshe03]

Day 2 for me as well. Haven't had any headaches but my cravings for food are still there. Started at 188lbs and currently at 187 so only 1lb lost. I've done the SWF each morning so far but it wasn't as effective this morning so I'll try the smooth move tea in the morning tomorrow. I've been taking the smooth move tea at night and lastnight I woke up at 4am due to the cramps. How many drinks are doing per day and how much of each ingredient are you using? I'm drinking 6 cups of 2tbsp. lemon, 2tbsp. grade b syrup, and about 1/8tsp. cayenne.

That's awesome you've been able to lose 5lbs already. Lucky!

I actually do the 60oz I am unable to make individual cups because I work in a prison so I just bring a gallon jug of the lemonade to work with me and sip on it through the day. I never liked smooth move tea because it made me cramp as well so I like the get regular tea. For the lemonade I do about 60-67oz of water, about 5 lemons, 6 tablespoons of Maple Syrup and 2-3 shakes of the cayenne pepper. And a 1lb weightloss is great as well!!

I am on day 5!!! I am down to 162 so a 3.5 weightloss!! I feel great today, still a slight headache but I will be fine. I am going to continue the cleanse until the last day of my vacation July 11th. My body is making great changes and I feel fantabulous! Keep pushing everyone!!

I'm on day two. Yesterday was fine until evening when I had a low grade headache which I attribute to caffeine withdrawl. I also experienced a sour stomach in the evening from the lemonade drink, and today, after my first two I'm getting the sour stomache again. Is there anyway to alleviate this?
Thanks!

Well...things didn't go exactly to plan. On day 29 I fell off the wagon. I had a colonic booked for that day (my first and to date only) which went well. Obviously I didn't do the SWF in the morning. She told me that not much waste was coming out but that she did see alot of toxins. When I asked her what toxins looked like she told me they were yellow/green! I saw what she meant when it was passing through the pipe too. In the book and on this forum everyone has always said that the yellow liquid is bile. Now I am not so sure. After the treatment was over I did pass some waste when I got to the toilet. It felt like a lot but really I can't be sure. Doing the SWF as normal might have flushed out as much or almost as much. The colon hydrotherapist also told me something very interesting: the body can only hold about one pint of liquid per hour. Anyway, after the treatment I was given a probiotic capsule which I took without thinking. I also thought it was a natural end to the cleanse so that night I bought the orange juice but after a glass I felt fine so ate a little pack of veggie sushi, a veggie samosa and some falafel/hummous wraps. I felt full, but otherwise fine the next morning. An upset stomach that night was the only obvious sign that I hadn't broken the cleanse properly. 29 days is not bad. I do wish I had kept going for 40 days though. I can't sa I feel good though but then I have been eating a bad diet for the past two weeks since breaking the cleanse. I go on holiday in approximately five weeks so I am thinking of doing a quick 10 day cleanse just before I leave so I am looking my best. I don't know whether that is too soon to be doing a cleanse, but at the moment that is the plan. I will be eating lots of greens from now on in order to build up my nutrient reserves. I hope your cleanses are going well. If you are thinking of doing a long one I advise you be prepared for a fight with your mind. My mind won our fight!

Day 8 and still nothing is happening other than the coated tongue. This cleanse is so anti-climactic. I know I'm doing everything perfectly so why aren't I detoxing more?

Day 10 for me, shooting for another 10 days! 14lbs weight loss so far. VERY happy so far. Will reply to some posts later.

Yeah that's why I'm making it in batches, but I was not aware of that good to know! I'm really hoping this will help with my asthma aswell, when I was thinner I didn't have as much issues as I do now. Congrats Glam ! Does the loss of enzymes also apply to limes?

Thank you Frankie, this applies to all fruit onced juiced. Thats why they recommend you drink it straight away, but you can only do what you can do. And you will still get nutrition from the lemons.

Its gone very quiet in here...

Day 13 for me today....doing ok. Just plodding along with it.

I'm new here! Doing my first Master Cleanse and I am starting day 3 today. Yesterday was pretty bad...I thought of eating pizza all day. I sat at Applebees while my family ate and I sipped my lemonade. Went out with my boyfriend and sipped lemonade while he ate at Panera (one of my favorite places). It was tough!!!

I am trying to be strong! But, we are going away this weekend on vacation. I am bringing all my supplies though and made sure I had a frig in hotel to store my maple syrup.

Everyone says the first 3 days are the worst, so I am hoping that if I can make through today than I can make until the end!

I did the SWF for the first time this morning as the tea was making me have to pull over driving and find a restroom. I am hoping the SWF will get it all over with at once.....I had no problem drinking the mixture but I used the celtic salt or whatever that people recommended.

Glad I found this forum for support! Please wish me luck!!

I was planning to do the cleanse for 10 days but it's day 13 and my tongue is still coated. I have to go to a three day convention this friday, Saturday, and Sunday. How much would it mess up my cleanse if I ate oranges for those three days and then went back on the cleanse on Monday? Sure, I could bring a concentrate, but the thing I really don't want to deal with is the multiple urgent trips to the bathroom in the middle of it. Help!
