Happy New Year everybody!!!
I am determined to start 2008 in a healthy, clean, and motivated way. Thus, I'm doing my second cleanse! In Dec 06 I completed my first cleanse and have successfully lost 25 pounds since then.
Before the 1st clease I was almost 200 pounds. I am now 168. After this 10-day flush, I hope to go down a few more pounds - but more especially get clean and detoxed.
Here's to a great 08

This is day 3 for me and I'm beginning to feel a lot better already. I've had a lot of muscle and joint pain for a couple of months and while yesterday it was WAY worse, today I feel a lot better. My goal is to feel better and to do that I realize I have to lose this extra weight. This is my second MC, the first 5 years ago was wonderful!

Happy New Year, Everyone!
Adriana- You have been very successful! Congrats! I am a bit scared about ending my fast. I have been going for 7 days and will go until 18, but I had to start over a few days ago because I kept putting little things in my mouth (hence my "10 day countdown). I don't want to gain the weight back. Can you please give me some pointers on how to keep losing?
Everyone's advice is welcome and definitely appreciated!
Thanks!
Jay

This is my second time on the cleanse. I started today and am planning for 10 days. Last time I started I lost 4 pounds the first day and 1.5 the second, then temptation and the holidays came and it just went out the window. But now with the holidays gone, Im back and ready to achieve my goal.
First goal...10 pounds

Happy New Year to all. I am at it again. I think that detoxing is a phenomenal way to start the year. Out with the old and in with the new. I've done the master cleanse a couple of times a year for the last couple of years. Not only do I enjoy the benefits of detixing but of weight loss as well. I have my biggest goal yet. I plan to acheive this goal in two 21 day cleanses.
I am going for 21 days this time. Happy cleansing to all.

Hey thismuch95. I love the master cleanse. Focus on your goal. One thing that helps me is chewing gum----. I know that you are not supposed to but otherwise your breath smells like, well let's just say not fresh. I tried the whole peppermint tea thing but uhuh that was NOT doing the trick. Anyway, you--WE can all do this, if we focus and keep our eyes on the prize. |

Good luck to all. This will be my 2nd cleanse, the first was very brief last year but I lost 8 lbs in just a few days. I am ready to go the distance this time and have joined a yoga class for additional motivation. I'll be weighing later but ultimately I'd like to drop about 30 lbs. while detoxing.

This is day 6 and 7 pounds gone! Hip-hip-hooray! I feel very good so far, ingesting only the MC, tea concoctions (peppermint, goldenseal, licorice, a bit of green tea, whatever I feel like putting in the tea ball), a tablespoon of olive oil in the morning and lots of water.
It's been very cold here and yesterday and today I heated the MC - YUM!
YES! Let's keep our eye on the prize!

I lost 6 pounds on Day 1. I'm on Day 2 (the end of it) and I'm having a hard time. I'm thinking about food a lot  . I didn't take the laxative tea in the morning b/c I had BM's that were liquid. I had 6 lemonades, and I didn't have a BM at all today. I was wondering if it's ok just to take the laxative tea at night? Is this normal? Help!

Today is day 5 for me. I feel really good. Yesterday I nearly caved though. I really wanted my children's kids meals. I was happy when I didn't and woke up another 2lbs lighter!

mamajo Good luck! I had to do that yesterday. I tried not to get anything that I really love. It was okay at the store. But today at home I am trying not to eat anything and everything. Including foods I HATE!
I am seriously wanting to cave right now. I am on day 5. I have lost 13lbs. There is no way I can cave!

My goal weight for the cleanse is 120lbs. How long do you think I have to cleanse for to get there?
Good luck to all of you!!

2nd full day, and not much result so far. I'm following the rules, and all, but been feeling cranky and just wanting to lay around and sleep. I'm worried about going back to work tomorrow.

Greetings all.
I hope that this question hasn't been asked and answered...if so, forgive me.
Okay, I am going to try this cleanse in about 1 to 2 weeks from today. Okay, is it best to purchase the items from the health food store or purchase the kit from thelemonadediet.com? The basic kit seems to be a little less expensive than the other option...
Thanks

Hi Everyone! Well today is day 6 for me and i have lost 5lbs. at least thats what I know from weighing in this morning. Over the weekend i ate. BUT, i didnt eat junk thank GOD! some salad w/out dressing, some crackers. yesterday I ate a sushi roll and that was all. i can only imagine how much more i would lose if i would just NOT EAT!! 
easing into this seems to help. i hope to eventually do it the right way. for now, i think eating a little healthy is better than not doing it at all and giving up, right?

Happy New year everyone!!
This is my first time starting the cleanse. I heard about it years ago but never tried it. It has been very successful for friends of mine that had tried and most or you all I see as well. I am doing it for various health reasons as well as hopefully shedding some pounds. I plan on starting tomorrow. My goal is to get between 150 and 140. I an not interested in getting back to my original size six. I have started to get migraines and high blood pressure because of my weight gain throughout the years and I need to get my health back on track. However I noticed headaches is a common side effect when starting the cleanse. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with them? Is it OK to take something? I also noticed this diet on TV as I am posting now that it is not safe, it this true?

Hi everyone! just wanted to start off by saying that i reallllly hope this works! i 'kinda' started yesterday. i made the lemonade and drank a cleansing laxitive tea the night before but didnt do the swf (salt water flush*). im working overseas so i tried to find the correct ingred. but. . .no luck  is it absoul. necessary???
I made up water bottles with all the accurate measurments but found it to be EXTREMLY too spicy for me. (my chest started hurting) so . . .since it says we can drink as much water as we want i diluted the drink in lots of water. STILL getting the correct amount of servings for a day. n e 1 know if thats still ok?

Today is my day 3! I was really tired this morning, but that was probably because I havent got much sleep!
So far I have lost 4lbs (1.9kg) This feels so good!!
I am thinking about doing the cleanse for 14-15 days. Do you guys think I could reach my goal by then?

Nikki M. I think the experts would agree that one should follow the cleanse to the letter but if you read the posts you'll find that alot of people use alternates to the SWF and also adjust the lemonade mixture to suit their taste. The SWF helps to flush out toxins quicker so without it you may find you need to go longer on it or drink 2 lax teas per day, am & pm, etc.
For the person who asked about it being safe (diy?), I 'm sure you'll find conflicting info everywhere you look. Listen to your body and use the cleanse as directed for the best results. All diets are controversial, however, this is a cleanse and meant to clean up the system and rid it of many toxins. Weight loss is a benefit and can only remain a loss if one changes bad habits and controls what is put back into the body once cleansed. I think it is dangerous to use it strictly as a weight loss diet and yo yo between the cleanse and bad food intake.
This is my 2nd attempt and my mental attitude is different from the fisrt time. I was experimenting in Oct. 06 and tried it for about a week. I did lose weight and I did begin to feel better. So after much research and determination I am doing the cleanse to detox and will go from there. I haven't weighed yet and probably won't make that a focus since that seems to throw people off or get folks upset if the pounds don't come off as quickly as the next person. We are individuals and need to allow our individual bodies the opportunity to cleanse and heal at its own pace.
Good luck to everyone.

This is my first time doing the master cleanse so I am new to this! I want to loose about 25 pounds, and clean my system! I am a vegetarian, so I figured y not clean my inside while I slim down on the outside. I will probably be here a lot asking questions and leaning on the boards for support! I want to do this a 100% and no cheat at all...so I will probably have questions!  I remember the directions said not to eat any food but are we allowed to chew any gum..justwondering!!

Today is my first day, but I could not do the SWF. I tried making it cold, but it just was taking so long to drink. It did not make me want to gag, it was just so nasty and salty. Does anyone that is successful in drinking the SWF have any suggestions on how to get it dow faster? I just drank the tea, but I want the better cleanse using the SWF.

Today is my first day...I love the taste of the lemonade..but I find myself thinking about food alot. Plus everyone I have told that I am doing it...has just put it down and talked smack about it!!! Wish I had some positive reinforcement. I have cotton mouth a bit. I have done four glasses 11.15 oz each. Did the tea last night and gonna try the SWF tonight. Wish I could just be in a house with others doing the same...have to feed the kids tonight, that will be hard! Wish ya all luck!! |

I'm doing a 4 week fast, started on 1/2 and ending on 1/29. Today is day 7 and I've experienced a lot of detox symptoms so far (sinus issues, aching legs/arms, fatigue, etc). I knew I really needed to clean my system out, I just didn't know it was that bad!
I use raw blue agave instead of maple syrup. I also use the laxative tea in the morning instead of the swf.
Here's to health and happiness!

I decided to weigh today and was completely shocked...oh, well, this is why I'm here. I plan to weigh myself every couple days rather than daily to keep the emotions in check. As long as I stick to the MC I should see some results!! Today will be my first workout at the fitness center and I hope to keep the pace with the yoga on Mon., workout Wed. and walk every other day till results are seen.
Wishing everyone luck on their journey!
I hope to be at goal or beyond by St. Patty's Day and get that pot of Gold!!
