I'll be here starting on Nov 26th.  Will drink my tea Sunday night and start the morning with an SWF.  Plan on going until Dec. 6th, 10 days.  This will be my 3rd time giong for at least 10 days.

Hello all! I am new to this board and was going to start this Saturday, but would love to be part of a 'team' -- so I'm totally in for starting this Sunday the 26th. I'm kind of nervous about it, but am really looking forward to the results! Mimi

...hi -- I know you're not suppposed to weigh yourself daily, but I have recently due to a 17 lb weightloss! I can't wait to see the results of this program and have been very inspired by the various postings...Mimi

I want to join you to offer and get support.  I have developed an unhealthy relationship with food and I need to break the habit. I WILL complete this!!   I would like to know whether I will have enough energy to work out during the diet.  I do yoga (sun salutations) and about 2 miles 3-5 x per week.  Should I not work out?

Hi Tanya...

I heard that working out helps the weight loss along... but the first few days you may not want to (especially the first 3-4) cause you are really disorientated and moody.  I am going to try and walk with my brother for atleast 30-45 minutes and see how I do.  But I will get my butt into Curves after the first 4 days are over with... should have plenty of energy by then...

Precious

Wow, 3rd time?  In how long?  And how much weight have you lost?

Precious

Don't be scared... remember to come to the board and get the support.  It so helps!  I am going to start with the SWF on Sun. nite... 3 weeks of pure detox and weight loss... hope this helps me quit smoking too.  Have you got all your ingredients?  Tried the lemonade syrup yet?  What is your goal?

I'm going to join you!!

Hi All!

It's so great to have this support.  When I was reading the comments I have felt those moments as well.

Precious 9491... my sis is also very petite and gorgeous and lately pple say to me, "Are you real sisters?" and it makes me want to say no lady she's adopted...It has become like this joke that I say to my sis, who is very supportive of me.  So when you said that I completely related to you.

Sunshyne... I was there with u in a bad relationship and gained a ton of weight.  I dont completely blame him, but food definately become my solace and outlet.  It always made me feel better...LOL!  I am now in a great relationship and he doesnt say one thing about my weight, but I know that IT holds me back.  And I dont want it to anymore.  I used to be 110 and that is where i will be again.  Fit into those sexy outfits... It will be so nice! I am 5'1 so that is a perfect weight for me.

Be strong everyone!  We can do it!!!

Hi Everyone!  I am starting today also.  Here are my stats for day #1...

SW: 141.4#

CW: 141.4#

GW: 130.0#

We can do it!  Good luck with day #1!!!

Hi everyone! I am not starting until tonight b/c I didn't get my ingredients (will do this afternoon), having a good breakfast and am excited to be starting -- nervous about how I'm going to feel, but am determined to do this! I'll sign-on later with the ticker thing added....so glad there's lots of support! Mimi

Hi Precious,

I read we have with similar goals. Yes, I did try this a few years ago and had lost a few lbs,but did not endure it but a few days. I am going to complete it and so are you. I want to get back to my sexier side. These 30lbs will be gone and I will be happy!

To all my fellow MCers, hold fast,the issues will become better and the results will be more beautiful than before. I also need the encouragement. I want to live life to the fullest in a healthy life style. I know this will take discipline.This challenge will be won. 

Hi Everyone...

Ok... trying for the 2nd time to post this cause the other one never showed up... fingers crossed.

For those that started today... good luck ladies!  I got all my ingredients and am geared to go.  Will do my SWF tonite!  A bit of advice that I read on this board that I believe is wonderful... make popsicles out of the lemonade syrup.  I am so addicted to munching on something that it's not food I miss but having my mouth going with something (heck, if I could smoke through this I would be able to go 21 days no problem).  So alteast I can trick my mind and mouth with the popsicles.

Tristan, Irishgirl, Prdmom15, Sunshyne, Rebecca2007: WELCOME!!!

2SlmRmE: That is the wonderful thing on this board... you get to meet someome (people) that have similar stories and you don't feel alone.  Thanks for sharing yours too  I remember when someone asked if I was my sis' mom... god, I am only 1 1/2 older.  My face is young... I don't know why people equate weight with older age.  Anyways, she is an aspiring model/actress so it's hard to compete with that... not that I do... cause I have a different body than hers... I just want to be able to see my toes w/o bending over slightly... you know?

Sunshyne: Oh yea... bad break-up equals weight gain.  Definately.  My ex comes from a traditional family so when he went on vacation overseas and came back a married man (arranged marriage)... oh boy, let's just say my green aladdin pants and cheesecake became my constant companions.  3 months later, and 30 lbs. heavier, I looked like... well never mind.  I lost majority of that then gained 20 back due to another bad relationship... so I def. understand.

Good luck to all and I will catch everyone up tonite or tom. afternoon.

Hugs!

Precious

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how I show the TickerFactory weight chart? I'm doing something wrong b/c when I do 'preview post' it doesn't show up......thanks!

SW: 199.6

CW: 184.0

GW: 165.0

Going to get my supplies now! Mimi

....well, I've bought all my ingredients except for the nighttime tea! I couldn't find it at the store I was shopping at, which means I will have to go to the health food store tomorrow night. Besides what is listed on the web, is there suggestions on teas that are highly recommended? Thanks, Mimi

Aww man I messed up tonight, I had Dinner

Only on the first day, sheesh!

Trying again!!

Tristan just keep going.  Maybe tomorrow at dinnertime you can come join the message board.  I've been there before because I still have to cook for my family.  Forgive yourself and keep counting.

Hi Everyone!!!

Ok... I am prepped to go... I just have to get over the hurdle of the first 4 days.  I shall sleep/nap through those if I can...

Welcome Squalane, Msleo74, Xochrocksmyworld, & Janeese... and Good Luck ... (and try getting in naps... helps the day go by faster)

Like Mamajo said Tristan... don't worry and keep counting... don't feel guilty either.  Cut yourself a break... it is hard the first day.

Precious

Hi Precious and thanks for the welcome!  Lets go for the ride!  My current weight is 149 and goal for this cleanse is 14 days and GW of 135.  I know we can all do it!  Let's go!!!!!

Thanks,

I have been wondering how to do that!

Hello all!  I started 11/26 as well and today is day 2 for me and have lost 5lbs. YAY!!  We can do it!!!

Drank my tea last night and did the SWF this morning.  Got things moving right along.  Just finished my first serving of lemonade and took a cayenne pepper pill.  I am going to pour myself some more lemonade.

Won't even post my weight for this morning.  This weekend was bad.  Up until Wednesday I hadn't gained back any of the weight I lost since my last fast the end of Sept.  So the first couple of days will be back tracking to the end of my last fast.

Hope everyone had a good morning.  Hope to see some post tonight.

Hi everyone -- well, I feel a bit disappointed already b/c I cannot drink the salt water flush -- I could barely get through two glasses without feeling as if I was going to be sick. This means that I'll have to drink the tea in lieu of this. Do you think this will not work as well for me? I'll look for the Senna brand at the health food store this evening, but if they don't have it, is there other recommendations? I'm thinking I may just order it online if they don't have it.

Anyhoo, I have made my tea and have officially begun my first day and will be checking in likely in the a.m. and the evening. Have a great day! Mimi

Way to go Rebecca!

Hi MiMi,

My problem was opposite of you. I could not get the smooth move tea down last night. It tasted awful!!! So I SWF this morning. I forgot to pack my cayenne peeper, but I am drinking as if I had it in my drink until I get home. I will try the smooth again this evening. I also want to know if I can not drink the tea will this hinder my weight loss or can the SWF replace it???? Hopefully someone can help with this answer.

Everyone, it is definitely discipline. I have made it so far through the morning. This is well so far. I ready to see a refreshed & refined Natasha! I am happy to hear the office holiday party is Dec. 21. Thank God, now I don't have to break my MC. I will respond this evening before  time.

Best Wishes, Natasha
