Start of Day 8 for me. After 7 full days on the cleanse I have lost a total of 15 lbs. and I am feeling so much better. Clothes are fitting better, energy is up, and I am sleeping better.
Hope all of you are still going strong.

It is my second day too (second time around though). The first time it was pretty hard. You shouldn't feel hungry if you are drinking the lemonade. Be sure you are drinking enough of it. The first couple of days are somewhat difficult but you will get through it. Do not enter into any social situations with food, do not watch too much TV (food commercials) as they will make you hungry. Just stay busy and in a few more days you will really feel good and be sleeping well, making it well worth it. Once you see a few pounds drop and everything coming out of you (even after you haven't eaten in a week) it makes the cleanse well worth it. The other thing is if you are not ready you won't make it. You have to be ready mentally.
There are people who will go the distance with you with, like me. Stay focused and encouraged.

This is the end of day 3 for me. I've lost 5.8lbs so far. I plan to do this for 20 days and would like to lose 40lbs. The first day was depressing and I almost gagged on that "drink", pretty nasty! I was very encouraged by everyone's posts. You are all doing such a great job. I find drinking decaf green tea throughout the day helps. And I exercise everyday...got to build muscle to keep metabolism going. I interval train on the treadmill (2 min walk/ 1 min run fast) and resistance train with weight machines. I am determined to do this! It is my 'gift' to myself.... I turn "50" mid-february! I have a friend who did this for 23 days and lost 40 lbs. He only gained 5 lbs back. You have to eat lite afterwards. I think I'll join WW afterwards to understand my emotional trigger eating better. Happy Chugging!!!!

Start of Day 10, I have made it to double digits. 
I have lost a total of 17 lbs. after 9 days on the cleanse. Hitting a little bit of a stump today as I lost only .5 lb. I wish that damn football was at the 50 yard line right now, then I would be really happy.
I am just going to keep plugging along and know that the results will come.

Hello Folks,
It is day 4 for myself and my fiance. Got over that hump of 3 days. Last time I did the MC, day three was the worst. This time, day 4 was really hard for me. No backslidding though. Just hard for some reason. The smells in the streets today tempted the hell out of me. Maybe because it rained in LA today and yesterday and things were clean for a change. Just a guess.
I have not weighed myself nor do I really plan on doing that. Why? The truth: I only have 1 scale at the house and it wont register my weight. How f'ed up is that. I'm not tripping though. I figure if I do 10-14 days, I most likely lose 20-30 pounds. And thats a GOOD thing! My fiance is going to do 20 or so days I think. I support her fully.
I plan on throwing exercise into the mix today. Cardio mostly, a few crunches. Stuff like that. Other than that, things are going alright.
I am going to do the 1st SWF tomorrow. Day 5! So I'll let you know how that goes. I feel it is necessary for the whole process, but some folks dont. That is one thing that I like about the MC. You can change it to fit your lifestyle and still have similar results. That means it JUST WORKS all around.

leanne- You have made a commit to do this. Do it right. It is hard for all of us. If you only drink lemonade, then it will not be as effective. Why starve yourself to lose only a couple of pounds due to you not following the recipe closely. Read the book, it explains the importance of each ingredient. The pepper is great for the heart and curves your appetite. Good Luck, you will do great!! |

gafabro- You can do it. I think I will try 30 days as well. Maybe we can encourage each other. It the mixture is too spicy then you can decrease the pepper. I make each mixture separately and it taste better. This is how I mix mine: 1/2 lemon, a pinch of pepper in every other mixture, 1 tablespoon of syrup. I usually make 6 glasses a day. it is best to have it made ahead of time daily, if not, you will find a reason to cheat. Good luck |

 Hello everyone! I am writing from Stuttgart, Germany and have decided to go back on the cleanse after a year to get back on track after my move to Germany. Living in a Hotel for three months then unpacking for a month meant MANY MANY breakfast/lunch/dinners out. I gained 20 pounds and I feel horrible! Not just fat, I've contracted every virus that's been brought into my office! Good to see some of the old people are still here...remember when we had a contest last summer? We had fun together.

I'M IN CONTROL, DEAL WITH IT!
Day 8
Feeling extremely great
Didn't wake up late
Had dreams of food on a plate
A huge steak,
Cookies and Lasagna.
I thought I had messed up,
I woke up
Flaming mad
Oh so glad
I was sleep in my bed
What's good with my head?
My mind?
Are you trying to play tricks on me?
Or is it your brother,
The Body?
I told you on day 1 who was in control
Don't make me take this on the road!
Or the Treadmill.
I have Massive will
I refuse to walk up stairs
Be out of breathe
Need a rest
I'm not at my best.
So until that day
I won't relax
No more size 54 slacks
Man....That size sounds so wack!
My mind's made up,
No more going back.
There's no point trying to fight it!
There's no point trying to change it!
There's no point even talking!
I'M IN CONTROL, DEAL WITH IT!
____________________________________
These were just my thoughts on day 8. Been having weird dreams for like 3 or 4 days now. Just needed to have a talk with myself. If this poem can help or touch anyone, then that is the reason it was put here on this day. I originally planned on a 10 day cleanse but I am thinking of 14. I am in NO way done and the idea of stopping something so good before it has run it's course seems like it's counter-intuitive. Ya feel me? My Flem is still really black (I smoke cloves). Still lots of weight! The scale still can't register me. We need a better one I guess. Or I could just lose weight!! My rock, my fiance is on day 8 as well. She is going to do like 20 days! It's her 3rd or 4th time though.
Question for the FOOTBALL watchers: How are you going to deal with the Superbowl? Cause my schedule change means that it will take me all the way through this Sunday. Ending on Monday! Any advise would be helpful. Ya'll stay strong.

I am so frustrated! Today is day 7 and the first day I have not done the SWF (I just couldn't bare the SW this morning); I have lost 4 pounds!!! I am on the heavier side, starting at 163; I am so irritated! I did the cleanse 4 years ago and lost 9 pounds in 7 days and 7 days was all I could take. I really have been doing everything right except I supplemented with chicken broth (bullion cubes) the first few days. I was concerned about the sodium intake but I needed to be able to get through the first days. So why after 6 long days have I only lost 4 pounds? Also, hate to be graphic but I really have only had one full bowel movement and that was 5 before my SWF. Isn't that strange? Anyone? I also haven't seen any of the yeast "spider webs" and I was wondering why. Lastly, I am waiting for my tongue to turn pink and quit being white, right? Isn't that is how you know you are done with the cleanse? |

Seductress & Patsy,
Welcome to the board! Congrats on completing your first days! This is my very first cleanse and the end of day 7. While I can't say it has been a complete breeze, it has been easier than I ever would have imagined.
The weekend, as I suspected, was the hardest time for me. Through the week I am busy at work all day, run a few errands after, then have just a few hours before bedtime. On the weekend, it was all day thinking about food. I even went as far as to list all the restaurants that I want to eat at when I'm done. Stinkin thinkin!!! That's what got me 30 pounds overweight in the first place.
Anyway, hang in there and come to this spot whenever you need encouragement. Just read from the experiences of others. It truly helps.

Hi
i just started yesterday 4.5lb's down today. i'm going to do the detox for 10 days. I want to use this diet to clear up my skin and to get rid of at least 15lb's... i dont have much to loose to get to my ideal weight i just want to get there.
I found it hard yesterday evening making suppers for everyone.. but i battled on. weighing myself this morning and seeing such a huge drop has made me feel great and inspired me to continue.. the lemonade is horrid though....

Day 11 is Done! Decided to keep going beyond 10 and I feel great. I threw exercise into the mix starting on Monday. 1 hour of Cardio. Good Stuff! I feel like the vail or fog that has enveloped my mind and life for the last 5 months has finally started to dissapate! It cost me alot. My Business went down the tubes . And so many other things went wrong. Anyway. Lets keep going on the MC. I feel better than I have in about a year.

anyone heard from Joeyballgame. I was reading his journal last night and I noticed he hasnt be back since this weekend. If he went off the MC or cheated a bit, I hope he doesnt feel like he needs to be ashamed and therefore not comment. We all slip up...or we wouldnt be doing the MC in the first place.
