Hi there....my name is K and I am new here...I am looking to begin a 10 day cleanse tomorrow and hope to find some support from like minded people here...I know I am 5 foot 2 inches tall but I dont know how much I weigh as I have not stepped on my scales since I gave up smoking over a year ago...I know my weight has gone up a bit because my jeans dont fit well any more and so something has to change...I LOVE food... sushi ,chocolate , cakes, marzipan, pasta, bread , cereals  the list of what I like is unending...but I figure if I can quit smoking from one day to the next I can quit stuffing myself until I feel sick...cant I?

I am hoping to begin tomorrow and stay strong and post details every day to keep me motivated...

Well today is day 1 and my starting weight this AM was 12st 7lbs

which is 3 stone overweight for me...I am overweight by a quarter of my bodyweight!!!!

I have made my drinks for all day and am sipping away...I will keep this thread updated .....K.

 That is awesome! I've started today, I did the tea last night and this morning. I was running behind so I couldn't do the Salt Water! Here goes...... :-)

Starting day 3 with a weight of 12st 2.2lbs which is a total loss of 4.8 lbs

seriously hoping I can be under the 12 stone mark in the next week

have taken a couple of headache pills and had 2 cups of black tea to keep me going this AM

chat tomorrow....K.

In the years I've been moderating this forum I have communicated with many people who go on fad diets that address only weight loss and don't really consider aggressive removal of toxins along with a lifestyle change and an awareness of the eating habits that contributed to their unwanted pounds. Yeah, they lose the weight (temporarily), but I can't think of one of these people that didn't gain the weight back (often even more) in a relatively short period of time after they came off their diet.

The Master Cleanse provides an opportunity, not only to lose weight (and keep it off) but to change your life/lifestyle and way of thinking, especially in regard eating and excercise habits. I not only feel it extends your years, it also greatly improves the quality of your life. It takes some serious adjustment to commit to this lifestyle change (especially in the beginning), but in hindsight, I doubt you'll be able to imagine going back to the old indulgent you.

Beginning day 7 here with a weigh in of 11st 13.2lbs which is a loss of 600g (any loss is a loss right)...and feeling good about the whole thing really...I cant forsee any problems reaching the goal day of Thursday and am looking forward to seeing what the total weight loss will be.

Other things to note ( not for the faint hearted) are that heamorroids are eased by the fact that you dont have to strain for number 2's and that due the the frequent loo trips the problem with swollen ankles seem to have gone down a lot too

Day 9 no weight loss to report and I feel that theres not much going on in the toilet department so maybe my time is up?...today will be my last full day and I will break my fast when Hubby returns tomorrow pm...I am not planning to go mad though...keep an eye on the calories over the wekend and then go to  a week of strict Atkins after that..I will keep you informed and be back for a full time cleanse at the beginning of December
