Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Going to start a MC this Sun/Mon. Not too sure how long I'll go, I guess I'm gonna just go with it and see where it takes me.
I've done one MC before - 7 years ago and made it 43 days (I was trying for 60 days)

About me:
Starting weight 245ish
(I'll get a beginning weight the day I start)
I gained over 60lbs since I quit smoking 4 years ago
5'7
38 years old
Female

I wont be doing the SWF - I just cant...Smooth Move instead

Hoping to lose some weight and this be my jump start to better eating and a healthier lifestyle after the MC

Anyone else starting this week? I'd love a buddy to do it with

Good luck Dee Dee. I'm on Day 10, but plan on going the distances. I too have a lot to lose. Look forward to following your progress!

Thank you very much. Hoping to start on Sunday. Great job making it to day 10. I will be following your progress as well, good luck

Day 1: Starting weight 240.2lbs yikes (I did not ease in, I had a last meal of my favorite pizza last night )

I'm extremely excited to start today but extremely nervous at the same time. The first time I did the MC I had a few weeks vacation from work. This time I will be working through it which is where the nervousness comes in. I work overnights and I work at a job where I have to stay extremely alert/focused. I honestly don't remember how I felt the first few days of the MC last time. I'm hoping I wont be a jittery mess. I'm able to use the bathroom as much as I need at work which is a relief. I'm worried about the first few days. I work tonight, off tomorrow night, then work the next 3 days. I guess I'll see how it goes. No turning back now After the first week I plan to incorporate some kind of exercise into it even if its just some walking with my kids.

EDIT: Just drank my first lemonade and it was just as I remember. I don't care for spicy stuff but the cayenne never bothered me, maybe because I use it when I cook as well. I remember the sweetness is what I didn't care for even when using only 1 tbsp. Going to drink 10 ounces of water after each lemonade to get more water in as well. Next few days should def be interesting.

I'm excited for you! The first step is always the hardest! Soon you will be sailing through!

Hope today went well for you! You can do this. Looking forward to reading your journey

Day 1: 240.2lbs
Day 2: 236.8lbs

Thanks everyone. Day 1 went well. I had a little bit of back pain and the chills at work last night but no real problems. It went better than I expected. I'm hungry but it's bearable. When I was driving home from work this morning I noticed every restaurant on the way home and my stomach was grumbling. Going to drink my tea and get some sleep. Today should be a bit better as I'm off work tonight so I'll get lots of sleep which makes it easier. I think today is going to be a headache kind of day since this is day 2 with no Coke Cola!

Hope everyone has a great day

Yay, DD! Welcome aboard! I'm on day 6 today so I'm right here with ya, girl! Looking forward to reading your journal as you begin to shrink!

Thanks prettypat. I've been reading your journal and your doing great!!

Day 1: 240.2 lbs
Day 2: 236.8 lbs
Day 3: 233.8 lbs

Last night I was dizzy, nauseous, and had the chills. I went to bed early and woke up this morning feeling the same plus lower abdomen pain and little shaky as well. I skipped the smooth move this morning because I needed to get a lemonade in me fast to get a little energy. It made me feel a little better. Yesterday I only drank 5 lemonades because of the nausea. I'm slowly trying to work my way up to at least 8 a day. I've got tons to do this morning so I'll try to get it done early so I can sleep most of the day since I work tonight. Hopefully I feel somewhat better by tonight.

Hope everyone has a great day

Dizzy, nausea, chills - Sounds like some deep cleaning/healing is happening. Stick with it, it will get better.

Wow, great job on your weightloss! Push through and drink more lemonade when you feel dizzy. You're about to be smooth sailing in a day or so!

Day 1: 240.2 lbs

Thanks everyone. It was rough night I had a huge headache all night and still have it. As I drove home from work this morning seeing all the restaurants I was asking myself do I really want to do this? I got home and did my morning weigh in and that's just what I needed to see. I'm extremely hungry. My kids wanted burgers for dinner last night and it was hard to cook without eating anything. I had to leave the room while they ate lol... Anyhow, I'm still going and hoping this headache goes away and I have a better night tonight.

Hope everyone has a great day


Edit: I had some pretty bad cramps in my sides today that came and went. But I'm feeling a lot better than I was feeling this morning. Hoping to have a great night and get over the hump.

Day 1: 240.2 lbs
Day 2: 236.8 lbs
Day 3: 233.8 lbs
Day 4: 230.4 lbs
Day 5: 230.6 lbs

I was really excited about weighing in today because I thought for sure I be in the 220's. I was a bit disappointed to gain even if its only a couple ounces. Oh well tomorrow is another day...One more day of work tonight then I'll have 2 days to rest. Hoping by Monday I'm feeling a bit better w/ a little more energy.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Day 1: 240.2 lbs

Day 6: 230.0 lbs

Felt pretty good last night and this morning. I'm not too happy with my weigh in but at the same time I didn't gain so I'll take it. Since I'm feeling better I'm going to start exercising today or tomorrow. Going to try and get at least 30 min in a day. Hopefully that will help that scale move a bit more. I'm not too hungry. I just cooked my kids a big breakfast and it kinda made my stomach turn, although the strawberries did look awful good. I still haven't decided how long I'm going to go just taking it day by day. Last time I cleansed I set a goal and didn't reach it which was somewhat disappointing. I don't really wanna do that this time.


Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!!
