Myrukala2,
Hi! I have done the master cleanse many times in my life. This is a great time to do it as it is spring and a time for spring cleaning. This will aslo get your body in a state of health to concieve. Your baby will thank you for it with less allergies, and other problems plagueing our children today becasue of the way we eat, drink and what we breathe. Congratulations to you for choosing this cleanse. I will definately be here to help you, just follow the directions very closely and you can't miss.
Welcome to the first three days, here will be the hardest part when you get through this is should be pretty smooth sailing.
I honor your commitment!!!

I gained 2.5 pounds back, how is that possible. I do remember this happening last time I did the Master Cleanse and I was very frustrated. I will just keep at it. This is day 7. The skin on my face is very very dry. I have been dry brushing. I know that helps things get moving. I haven't been exercising, which seems to be a problem for me. Any advice?

This is my 2nd time doing mc. I did it in '07 and lost 14lbs in 8 days. Today is day 2 for me and I've lost 6 lbs so far!! I know that it's probably just water weight but 6lbs is 6lbs water or not! I plan on going 10 days this time. I've also decided this time around to add some light exercising. Hopefully that will help me lose more. No weights, just cardio to burn the fat. Weight lifting will build muscle and everyone knows muscle weighs more than fat. I am also NOT doing the SWF in the mornings...I just can't..it makes me gag..but I do the tea in the morning and at night. So far I'm full of energy and trying very hard not to think about food. Every time I think of food I think about the 6lbs I lost so far and that's enough to motivate me! Good luck to everyone and I'll keep updating.

This is my first time using the Master Cleanse. My first day was 03/25/08. I was surprised to weigh myself this morning and found to have lost 6 pounds already. I can't wait to see what the end result is going to be after my first ten days of the diet. My goal is loose 60 lbs. SW: 229.0
CW: 223.0

Good Morning All,
It is great to see new folks on. Looks like Spring is whispering in our ears telling us it is time to clean house. I am on Day 9. I feel great, but find myself thinking a lot about food. Not hungry, just missing it.
I walked on the treadmill last night did 3 miles while listening to DEEPAK CHOPRA'S - Synchro Destiny. It is a great book about Mastering the Forces That Shape Personal Reality. Very good so far. I plan to do another 3 miles tonight. I think that is what really helps to loose the weight. Add a walk a day and if you can't do 3 miles do what you can, but it i a good habit to get into. This is when I listen to audio books and if I keep focused on the book I don't obsess over the time or distance, I just walk and pretty soon I am finished.
One thing I love about the MC is that I seem to be more in tune with me and my inner self. I like that, present time seems more apparent. Any comments on that?

Starting day 4 today on MC. Got up this morning and saw that I lost 3 more lbs for a total of 9 in 3 days!! Yesterday morning I was a bit discouraged cause I hadn't lost anything. But 9lbs in 3 days is awesome!! I'm thinking about maybe doing it for more than 10 days. I am finding though that every commercial on tv is about food!! Smells are definately much more intense. But I'm not hungry and feel great! Still riding my bike too! Trying to do 5 miles a day!!

Hi everyone. I started on Wedndesday 3/25. Drank the tea, Tuesday night. The Smooth Move tea is causing me a lot of cramping, but I"m in it for the long haul. I don't think I'll do the tea at all tomrrow though due to my work schedule. There'll be no time for all that running to the bathroom and stomach cramping.
My journal is on the main board where i'll be more detailed there. Just wanted to say hello to everyone.
I'm down 2 lbs so far as of today, Day 2. So we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Good Morning everyone.
I am now on day 10...and planning on doing at least 6-7 more days. I would like to loose 10 more pounds, but I have only lost 10 pounds in 10 days. I realize this is NOT a weight loss program, but I think of it as a benefit of the cleanse. I feel good and like things are able to correct themselves in my body. I love the level of spirituality it gives me, a clarity of inner consciousness if you will. This is one reason I love to do the fast\cleanse it connects me to my inner self better.
I am going out to take a very long walk with my dog Sheffy who is a Sheltie.

"Only" ten pounds??? You lost 10 pounds! That's amazing. I know the average is 2 pounds a day but don't discount the 10 you lost. Congrats to you and good luck with the remainder! |

Well, today is day 5 for me and I gained a lb  !! But I also woke up with my monthly cycle this morning so I'm hoping that I'm just a bit bloated and it comes off in a few days. Anyone else experience having their monthly while on the mc and weight gain? |

Day 11 for me, my tongue is so coated with yellow/orangish fuzzy stuff that I can't brush off. Yuck!  No more weight loss today, but I do feel good and I walked 3 miles yesterday and did some yoga. I will be working nights this week starting last night and it is very easy to be on the cleanse when no one is around flaunting food at me. I have a cooler bag that holds 2 plastic bottles it is called the Lemonade Brigade bag and I love it. It is so convenient if you are interested you can go to my website http://www.theoillady.com , click on links and you will see the Master Cleanse logo at the bottom of the page. I will use it to tote my orange juice and when i am done with that juice I will probably do veggie juice for a day before doing the cooked soup. I have even carried my soup in the jars as long as it is not real hot and not added the ice to the ice pack insert on the bag.  |

Day 4 for me. I'm down from 164to 157. Feeling pretty good. Though I'm hungry today. Really hungry. But I refuse to give up. I made it to Day 3 last year so I'm trying to go for the gusto. I do find, however, that if I drink more lemonade the hunger goes away. But thsi time, it comes back quicker and with a vengenance. I can't wait to go to bed. I'm gonna dance around the family room for about an hour, that'll be my exercise, and then I'm gonna sleep this hunger away.

Day 5, down to 155 from 164. Feeling really hungry. Think I'll be drinking lots of lemonade today. LOL! I may just go for seven days. If I can make it there, then I'll try for Day 10.

Hang in there sourlemonsqueeze. It does get easier. My headache lasted 2 full days and I had little energy the first 2 days, Day 4 was the first day I felt really great. You can do it.

Sometimes it's better to check your measurements than your weight, too many people get discouraged when the weight doesn't come off fast enough to suit them. Remember on this cleanse, it's not uncommon for weight to fluctuate, and come off in "spurts".

I am on day 12. I have lost 11 pounds. Remember this is not a weight loss program as much as it is a cleanse. But you will loose weight. I always gain about 2 lbs in one day somewhere in the process, so if this happens don't get discouraged as it will come off again. I am still feeling great. I have had to work 12-14 hour night shifts for the past few days and will continue until this Friday and I feel absolutely fantastic, plus I am loving the way my clothes fit again. Feeling a little "Perky" 
Here are my stats. Have a great day!!!

Day 8 for me. Still on my monthly. Didn't lose anything this morning. Lost 1.5 lbs over the weekend for a total of 10.5 in 8 days. I have to keep remembering that I'm doing this for other reasons than weight loss but it's so hard not to focus on weight! My skin looks great...my clothes are fitting better...I feel great! My only complaints are that I had a migraine for 5 hours yesterday and on Saturday I woke up with my gums very swollen. Still a bit swollen today but looks to be subsiding. Oh...and I have the WORST breath! Started chewing some gum over the weekend then remembered that chewing triggers your digestive system so I spit it out. Bought a bottle of mouth wash instead. My daughter says my breath smells like doodoo!!  Anyway...last day will be on Wednesday so I hope by then to have dropped some more lbs!

Angela...I noticed the days where I didn't drink enough of the lemonade I didn't lose anything. When I started my monthly I gained a lb..but I lost it a couple of days later. Just take it day by day and concentrate on just making it though the day. That's the only way I can seem to make it through. Good luck! |

I've been using Grade A maple syrup all along. The grade B stuff is just too expensive. NO COFFEE during master cleanse!! BAD BAD BAD! The cleanse may help her kick the caffeine habit!! I don't believe if you don't drink enough that you will gain weight but I do believe that it will stop you from losing. If you see that you're not losing....drink more! Today is day 9 for me and I've lost 2 more lbs for a total of 12.5!! Tomorrow will be the last day for me. If I didn't have plans this weekend I would do it for another week..I'm THAT gung ho about it! The only problem I feel today is that I don't think I have any more waste inside of me! It seems like I go only a little bit..like I'm completely empty or something..I don't know. How's everyone else feeling?

LaReina,
Today is my last day. I'm quitting after 8 days because I have plans this weekend. Will have oj tomorrow, oj and vegetable broth Thursday, and a meal of veggies on friday. Hoping to be in tip top shape on Saturday. Have you done this before? I'm a little nervous about breaking the fast!

Hi everyone, yeah I don't think I drank enough that day or water retention. however I did lose the 1 lb that I gained so I'm back at 155. Today is Day 7. Don't know if I'm going to continue. I'm ready to go back to eating. I love veggies, so doing the vegan thing isn't a problem for me. As long as I can have tofu. But we'll see how it goes. I need the protein so I can get back to lifting weights, etc.
Hang in there everyone. Today is my b-day and I wanted to be 155 by today and i made it.

Goodvibes - Yes..I've done this before and have lost 14lbs. Breaking the fast can be a little scary. Chewing for the first time is a little strange. The OJ can seem a little sweet compared to the lemonade so I usually dilute with equal part spring water and it's a little easier to drink. Eat your soup slowly!!! I know someone who did this and was so excited to eat that his wife gave him 2 big bowls of soup one right after the other and when he was finished, he got up to walk away from the table and passed out cold on the floor! I guess his body was in shock...he said he ate too much too fast. So just take it slow and only eat 1 bowl at each sitting. You'll be fine.
Happy Birthday New2MC!!! Congratulations!! I would've loved to have been in the 150's today but still stuck on 162  ...I guess that's why we shouldn't focus so much on the numbers on the scale but rather how we feel and honestly I feel AWESOME!! I plan on eating very healthy after this, limited amts of fruit, tons of veggies and fish...nothing processed. I do have to say that I've been craving sushi this entire cleanse so I can't wait to be able to have that!! Probably won't until next week though. A little scared to put raw fish into my body a couple of days after breaking fast. I had NO BM this morning and barely anything yesterday. I think my body may be finished cleansing itself? Not sure. Wanted to see if I could do this again next month but it may be too soon. I tried that once and didn't have the same results when I tried again so soon after the 1st cleanse. Planning on doing lots of cardio...holding off on the weights until I get some of this fat off of me!

Day TEN! Wow, I can't believe this! It went So slow, yet SO fast! I guess my weight loss won't be official until tomorrow but I'm down about 13.5 lbs.I hope to still lose a few during my going off the fast period.
Good luck everyone

Day 11 and drinking OJ today. It tastes so good compared to the lemonade. My gums and under my tongue are sooo swollen today...I'm in a little pain. But trying to deal...still don't want to take aspirin or any pain killer. Hopefully it will subside. How's everyone doing today? |

I am day 11 as well. I'm the opposite, the OJ tastes somewhat rotten to me, though I know it's fresh and organic. My family said it tasted good.
My weight loss for the 10 cleanse was a total of 13 pounds. I am hoping to lose a few more during the going off phase. I haven't had much weight loss activity for last couple days.

So you don't have to do the salt water? Will not doing the salt water mess up the lemonade diet? I am new and want to start but I don't have the taste for salt water. But I can drink the tea in the morning and at night. Also can someone explain the Cayenne pepper tablets to me, does it mean you don't have to put it in the lemonade

Vegeman said "During the initial first few days back on solid food expect to gain a couple pounds in "poop" weight. Your bowels have been completely emptied and will weigh a bit more when filled again. That weight could easily come off (+ maybe even more) in a week or two."
I have been on solid food for 2 days now and have not had a bowel movement. Is that normal? Should I do a swf?
Thanks!

Keep it up everyone!
We are getting cayenne capsules tomorrow, my husband can't stand the cayenne...it doesn't bother me at all...this is our fourth cleanse in a year and a half and he has done 20 and 30 days before...I've made it to 14 but that's it.
The cayenne capsules are in place of putting it in your lemonade drink. You take 4 cayenne capsules a day not one per drink.
