This is about me and my weight loss journey. I am not only losing weight, but I'm also removing toxins from my body. Post my diet, I will be following a structured healthy way of eating, which I have been following before the Master Cleanse or Maple Syrup Diet. The thing is, I'm not exactly fat - but I have gained quite a bit of weight which I would like to lose. During my 1st cleanse I managed to lose 22.5lbs /10.2 kg and learn a lot. I'm into my third cleanse now.

| Day 7 Cycle 3 |
I lost a bit of weight but nothing to get over excited about. Nothing to say today rather than I can't wait to finish this. I almost feel like finishing today.
So since I'm leaving now, I should go and maybe update this later! |

| Day 6 Cycle 3 |
I think today is day 6 - Like I said counting days is not my thing - I'm too busy at the moment.
News; I stalled today, no weight lost, maybe very little - but hey I'm still going strong - not quitting, not a quitter - not anymore ;)
I think I've lost some weight since then, but wont be weighing in yet. I haven't got much to say other than that, I've just finished watching someone have hot dogs and cheese on toast . . . yum
I miss eating - Although i'm not hungry.
Well - time to sleep. |

| Day 5 Cycle 3 |
I'm finally off the "I wanna quit" mood. So I'm gladdly enjoying the fruits of my hard labour!
Today I weighed in at 56.8kg / 125.2 lbs, evidently I am excited about it and although I'm still thinking about food, I know it's a bit silly to even contemplate quitting after coming this far and if I ate anything now, I would totally damage my system as well as puke which is never a good thing.
Last night I fantasised about liver - yes - liver with tomatoes and onions. It actually tastes good prepared that way but it's never top of my food list. When I got up this morning, I was thinking why the hell did I want liver last night. Today I haven't really thought much about food although it certainly wouldn't hurt very much - so I will start looking at things shortly.
I haven't had any ideas about what to eat when I complete this, just the same old I guess - as per last cleanse - and just watch what I ingest.
According to my current weight loss per day about 1.17kg I should have reached my goal by day 10 - Tuesday. If I do Wednesday and Thursday that should allow for the 1 -2 kg weight gain. Pheew I can't wait and hope it doesn't suddenly slow down. |

| Day 4, At least I think it is |
I have even lost track of time, I guess I just love my food. I can't stop thinking about it - right now I'm thinking burgers.
I have gone down from 60kg/132lbs to 58kg/ 127.8lbs, not bad. I'm pleased with the progress, however I know I've been there before so I really need to go past that weight in order to feel like I'm getting somewhere - for instance 56kg / 123.5 lbs, then i'll feel good.
I spoke to an old friend today, one I haven't seen on ages and she has heard that I've become a fatty. It's kind of driving me to complete my Master Cleanse task, even though I'm not really fat right now. I want to look stunning when I do get round to seeing her though - but at the same time I can't be really bothered with my weight - most likely because I am almost comfortable with my looks right now. I guess that may be one of my reasons for not wanting thins as much as I did before.
I'm glad to have my other half's support in every way, so it makes this a lot easier than it probably would have been. My sister thinks I'll die, but she's very young and has no idea about the pressures of weight gain and not being able to shake it off. She has a lovely body with a flat tummy and hips - which is just right. I hope she never has to go through trying to lose weight or even gaining it in the first place.
I think tomorrow I will be a lot less in weight, than I am now - probably about 0.6kg / 1.32lbs less which is the norm when I do this. Except right now I am not eliminating or flushing so things might me taking a little longer.
I honestly find this very horrible due to the pooing every now and then, although it can be controlled, a running tummy is never a pleasant thing. So when I don't want to run, I just don't do tea / swf especially being at work and school.
My mouth feels dry right about now, I'm tired, weak body etc. I want to have a nice warm bath later. But it will have to wait for now until my other half is back because I might just faint again [see last cleanse].
I think I'm kind of back on track - It's rather tough though. After tomorrow I'll be happy, it will be day 6 on Friday and 10 on Tuesday. I hope I can make it to day 10, because once I'm there I think day 15 will be a breeze, also I'm anticipating next week because I have 4 free days which can come into good use to help me get to day 15. I'm so happy right now about it all, it's so far but yet it's so close.
Not to brag or anything but I have done really well this time round considering the amount things I am doing together with this . . . I kind of wish I had reached my goal in the summer. But I WILL reach my goal by December. I also have a meeting with one of my mates in December, she will be stunned to say the least because last time she saw me I was 132lbs, bring on 110lbs.
I could keep blogging forever but I will try and blog tomorrow. It's a busy day and have a lot of work to do. Although blogging kind of makes me feel good about it all. I can't wait till next wednesday even though that's just day 13, I still can't wait - I'll be 2 days away from putting my weight wars to rest. However I was thinking of going under my GW to allow for weight gain, maybe I should do Sat and Sunday too and do 17 days - then juice that Monday?
Mmmmm thinking ahead - maybe it's such a bad idea provided I can achieve it. |

| Day 3, Cycle 3 |
I have come too far to let go. But when I don't see results I usually end up thinking of quitting, although this time round I know it's due to not having tea / the SWF. This afternoon I made myself some tea which was horrible to say the least. I have seen people complain about the taste of the juice, but the tea is worse considering I don't put anything in it, so it's bitter and black!!!
Anyway, the tea went down in a few gulps and now I'm waiting for it to work. I didn't do the SWF, so I'll save it for tomorrow.
I have been rather sneaky and weighed in on a daily basis, because I'm keen to see how it's going considering I haven't really pooped since Sunday. . . I was wondering if the weight loss would slow down due to that. . . Although I don't think it should, there may be a slight chance that's it's slightly affected.
I can't say how much I have really lost so far, because the scales lie a lot - at least the digital ones, say I've lost quite a lot . . .
I refuse to believe until I weigh in properly on Friday - keeping everyone in suspense. I really haven't got a lot to lose, around 20.5 or so lbs / 10 kg . . . which I would never lose without the cleanse. It makes me wonder if diets work for others but not everyone. Considering the amount of money I have spent on gym memberships and ensuring I was eating healthily. In fact we eat well, so we didn't have to make drastic changes i.e. no more crisps, chocolate (which I hardly ever eat, including fizzy drinks), we cut out on takeaways, although we only ever had one at the most (per week).
My current diet involves
fruit; I eat an apple, orange and maybe grapes and strawberries daily.
veg; I have some veg soup which is delicious, at least once a week - and we make carrot juice with a hint of ginger once or twice a week. We also make, orange juice/ apple / whatever we have fruit - wise.
water; I've always had plenty anyway
cereal; well I'm not into breakfast but Jordan's Crunchy cereal with strawberries helps my bowels move, so I like it and it's a good start.
Sandwiches; home made are best, we use lettuce, tomatoes, etc where we can.
We do eat other things like rice, pasta, pie, beef, pork, lamb, fish etc, but always with veg in the right proportions. We also made a concious decision to cut out ice - cream. We recently got 2 buckets, well not really buckets. But there's this farm made vanilla which is really gorgeous and there's Kelly's vanilla which is always superb, but my taste buds just weren't enjoying it that much, so it doesn't deserve to take up space in our freezer. I will have ice cream, just when I go out maybe.
Edit: 21:18
Ok, I'm starting to feel like quitting right now!! I don't know why, I guess it's the smell of food and lack of energy. I need more juice, I think I had about 1 glass or so today and this is not good, because if I get off the juice, I will throw up the next time I have it. So I need more now. And another thing - I need food. . . . I'm shaking. Ok juice first, maybe I can last till tomorrow - day 4! |

| Official Day 2 Cylcle 3 |
I'm having one of those moments when I start questioning my sanity, priorities and what it is I really need to achieve and whether it matters so much.
I could have a Marks and Spencers veggie samoosa right about now - I'm not exactly hungry since I have my drink but the thought of savoury food makes me question myself. I'll try not to think so much about it because this is when I end up quitting.
Anyway - I could also do with mmmm I don't really know - I couldn't care for food but I would like that samoosa, so odd!!
So far so good, but I wish I had pushed through and followed through from Thursday because I would actually be on day 5 now. But anyway, another Thursday will come soon and that will be day 5 and I will try to enjoy it. Except I am not eliminating anything at the moment so I think I will come home tomorrow and on Wednesday and Thursday to do the tea and SWF.
I know I feel much better when I reach my goal weight, it's not far, but it's just finding the strength to carry me through. I'm not doing this for anyone but myself - this is one goal I wish to accomplish before December and then I can concentrate on my career and other things in the following year.
So all in all, things are looking up - provided I do what I need to do.
My stats (done yesterday)
weight 60 Kg
waist 32 Inches
Bust 36 Inches
Hips 39 Inches
For my American friends, please check on the left of the page to see weight in pounds, I can't be bothered converting - I'm just in one of those moods - I think it's 132lbs.
p.s. I took a picture of my back yesterday and noticed those upper love handles I used to have are going, going, going . . . . gone!!! Well you can just make out something, but I'm pleased. When I get the courage to post my before and after pictures, I will. And don't get excited about seeing my face because you wont :), this is just to help those who want to see before and after. |

| Day 2 Cycle 3 |
Ok, technically I could call this day 1 again, because I had decided not to do the fast anymore . . . hunger !!!
So I ate again yesterday. 3 half slices of cheese and tomato on toast and a hot dog, then later had a yoghurt and and apple . . yum yum.
I then decided to continue with my fast because I was weighing up my options to see what else I could do and the only thing that has ever worked for me is the master cleanse. So after eliminating other ideas, I settled for the fast . . . yet again.
I considered Orlistat which is an Anti - Obesity pill, it goes by a different name in the pharmacy (Xenical), I think it may be the same thing used for the Alli diet - except in the UK, to get Xenical, it must be prescribed by your GP or you can buy it for a handsome £125 / $250 from the pharmacy if you have a BMI over 30 - which I don't. And quite honestly, I don't like the sound of leaking orange oil from my bottom. So no thanks.
Maybe I just like the Master Cleanse because I have tried it before and I can almost predict what my actual weight loss is going to be and apart from that, I actually cleanse my system in the process, so I kill 2 birds with one stone! Plus it's not expensive :)
So, now that I'm back and seem to be on track - let's see if I can reach my goal weight of 50 Kg / 110 lbs. I'm starting at 60 Kg / 132 lbs. I deally, I will go slightly under, to allow a bit of weight gain i.e. water or whatever. Last time I gained about 5lbs or so back, which is about 2 kg, so If I go under my goal weight by 5 - 7 lbs that will be great. Then hopefully I can fit properly into my new jeans.
I got about 4 pairs of jeans, I fit ino all of them surprisingly even though I deliberately bought slightly smaller sizes - but all them same I could do with a bit of room around the waist. The jeans I got from AE are size 2, which is a bit odd!! Because that's size 4/6 UK, and I can assure you I am not a size 4/6 UK, currenty a size 10 UK which is US 6/8.
My coats and jackets from last year are way too big, so have to give them away - since they are rather new.
I'm hoping to go one size down, and looking foward to a renewed me at the end of the cleanse. |

| Trying My hardest to cleanse again Day 1 of a 15 day cleanse |
I have had 2 very successful cleanses in the past but right now I'm failing to even get to day 3. I know I'll accomplish what I need to when I finish, but I just cannot get the strength. Maybe I need to prepare myself well enough.
Preparation
Buy all my supplies.
Get a bottle to drink from when I'm out.
Make a time table for tea and salt.
Think real hard about my goals and what I'm trying to achieve.
Maybe meditate If I have to.
Start date; today
although I have had something to eat already. I feel awful, stuffed and my pained. I only had 2 slices of bread and an orange - it's 1 pm!! |
