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.

| WEEK ONE - DAY 4 |
08.45 am
Today 65.2 kg / 143.7 lbs total lost in 3 days 2.8 kg or 6 lbs. My mechanical scales say I am 63.5 kg . . . .
I think the weight is starting to level out to my usual 0.6 kg per day. At this point, I just want to get it done. I am also doing the flush today, 2 days after that leg disaster, so we'll see what will happen with that. Hopefully I will be fine.
15:02
I feel incredibly week today. Well, nothing out of the ordinary really - but it worries me because I have a lot of work to do and I have done nothing so far. I'm hoping to start now and see how I get on. God willing I will be just fine. This week off has really been just that, a week off - doing absolutely nothing. Again I am close to quitting but if I can just make it to day 10 it will be great. Small steps at a time. I am thinking Sunday will be day 7 and I happen to be free next tuesday and wednesday so I can totally see this happening.
I need other coping mechanisms, things to help me forget about this and just get on with it. I need to tell myself I CAN DO THIS!
20:29
I felt like quitting earlier today, but after doing some reading I figured my brain still works a little. So I will soldier on. I think this weekend is going to go quite fast and I am looking fwd to it to be honest. I just want day 7 over and done with because then I know I am closer to day 10, closer to 60 kg. I just need to get there so I can set my next goal of day 15. I am not sure about my monthly though because I can imagine it will be cropping up around that time and I will stop and go on the juice when it does. Then hopefully pick up on where I left or go raw. We'll see. Either way by the time this month ends I need to have reached my goal - rain or thunder! |

| WEEK ONE - DAY 3 |
08.33 Every night I seem to have these ugly thoughts about quitting, so I guess I should just shut up and sleep. I was so close to giving in last night but I'm glad I pulled through because yesterday alone I lost 1.4 kg / 3 lbs, so I'm down to 145 lbs from 150 lbs in 2 days. It's good news so I will keep going. I know I had said I will weigh in on day 10, but I am struggling to stay on this and the weight loss is keeping me motivated.
Starting: 68 kg /150 lbs Waist: 34 inches Hips: 41 inches Bust: 36 inches
Current: 65.8 kg / 145 lbs Waist: 33 inches Hips: 40.5 inches Bust: 35 inches |

| WEEK ONE - DAY 2 |
09.08 - Yesterday my legs were swollen, just about all day. I had very little elimination after my SWF so I must have retained a lot. My legs were very solid and painful when I pressed them. I became more aware when my husband also noticed it. I tried to exercise my legs, i thought maybe I wasn't moving enough. Anyway this morning it seems to have gone . . . .. however I will not be doing the SWF at least not for a fe days. I think I will do one on Saturday maybe. I will just stick to teas and juice for now.
I also weighed in due to worry - 67.2 kg / 148 lbs
So 2 lbs lost is great news to me. Hopefully I will easily lose 10 lbs by the end of the week
17:13 - I have been in bed, but will get up shortly. Hopefully I wont have problems with my legs. Fasting wise, the day has gone ok so far. I haven't been able to do anything else, which is always the case with these things - that's why I feel like putting it off sometimes.
20:31 - Today hasn't been that bad after all. My mind hasn't worked much though!!!1 I have planned for the rest of the week and if things go as planned . . . . this is what I should definitely expect working on an average of 0.65 kg / 1.43 lbs per day
Day 11 : 61.5 kg / 135.5 lbs
Day 21: 55 kg / 121 lbs
Day 31: 48.5 kg / 106.9 lbs
I will be just underweight when I finish on day 31, however I know from previous experience that I will gain about 5 lbs or so back in water and just digestion junk etc. So that will take me to my goal weight of about 110 lbs. The only problem could be my monthly but I will cross that bridge when i get to it. I am not sure what I will eat or how I will break this fast because it is so long in comparison to anything I have done before. I will probably do 7 days Orange juice then switch to other things - to be honest I haven't thought it through. At least not that far yet! |

| WEEK ONE - DAY 1 |
I can't believe I am almost back to the weight I was in 2007. From binge eating when I am stressed. I guess I really have to address the stress issue and find other ways to deal with it. I have so many gorgeous clothes which I now cannot fit into, and some of which i still can't fit into. I have become a social recluse again because I don't want people to see me like this. I am having a pregnancy test done today just to make sure because every week I'm gaining a kg!
Anyway I have tried to do the cleanse so many times and failed since my last successful cleanse in 2007. In 2008 all my attempts were disastrous. I just couldn't find the strength in me to do it. I am aiming for 30 days now and hoping to shed all this ugly weight off me. After that, I think I will juice for a while maybe a week or so and go raw to start with. I really want this cleanse to be successful. I don't want to stop part way and then binge.
To put it plain and simply I am desperate to lose the weight. As desperate as it gets. I normally lose about 0.6 kg per day. I hope it will be more than that. I intend to do exercise with this, as much as I can to help shift the weight faster.
I am taking the week off to get a good start on my cleanse. My strategy - pretend it's not even happening. Weigh in on Saturday, after 5 days. I hope I can manage the weigh in bit . . . . I need to just put my head down and get on with other things, I'm even wondering if should weigh in after 10 days!!! We will see.
Edit: 17:58
I am bored with the cleanse and only started today but I don't know what to do. If I don't do this I fear I will become bigger than I was before, so I'm stuck really. The only down side is that it's making me really sow and I have so much work to do. I think I will have more juice and see how the day goes. Day one and I am just bored with it. I need will power, I know the results will be more than worth it, I just know it. I was going to take my clothes out of the closet so it motivates when I see them, but I'm too lazy.
I feel quite strange, like I have oedema or something, my feet feel odd, so does the rest of my body. I think I will have a natural duiretic and see how it goes. And maybe peppermint tea tonight mmmmm yummy.
Starting: 68 kg /150 lbs
Waist: 34 inches
Hips: 41 inches
Bust: 36 inches
Height: 5'4 - 5'5 - wish I could change this :) |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 9 |
Now I feel like I need to rant, even if just for a minute!
My monthly periods are done with but my weight loss .......................... where's all the water that I was retaining? I was expecting a huge drop and there's nothing.
Sadly my dandelion is not here either so I can't take any.
I have lost weight since the yesterday - about 0.6 kg to be precise. That is my usual weight loss anyway (per day). So at the moment I am 57.4 kg - roughly 126.5 lbs. Sounds good, but I am short AND STILL have 16 lbs to get rid of!!!
During the whole cleanse this time, I have lost 4.6 kg / lbs about 10 lbs in 8 days instead of 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs. Actually, having made the calculations, I think I am just ranting about nothing since there's only a small difference!
I hope I continue to lose at this rate and not stall, and that means I will have to finish on day 21, Monday 1 Dec.
Sunday = 55 kg / 121 lbs
Wednesday = 53 kg / 116.8 lbs
Saturday = 51 kg / 112.4 lbs
Tuesday = 49.2 kg / 108.5 lbs
I hope it is quicker than this because I really want to eat. I'm not particularly hungry but I get tired easily and just want food. If I had to eat now though I wouldn't even know what to eat because I can't imagine eating anything other than drinking the juice.
I want food food food - this is just my mind playing with me - it's strange because I don't know what food. Anyway, that's it for today. I hope I will blog on Sunday with an update on my weight loss. My mini goal 55 kg / 121 lbs - let's do this! |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 7 |
As I'm writing this, I am kind of wishing I was writing "day 20" or something. It's long tough road.
This morning I went to the gym - again! I did as much as I could so I'm happy. I dropped to 58.6 kg - it's really going slowly, but then again I am still on my monthly. I looked a few things up yesterday and I founf that dandelion is good and works as a natural duiretic which is fantastic for that time of the month. So I will order it and wait till Wednesday to drink the tea or whatever because I don't want to be looking for public loos when I'm out and about.
I also found Chasteberry extract which is a "hormone balancer" and is good for heavy and painful periods - so that might come in handy after the cleanse. I will be buying more syrup because I just realised that I will run out even though I have 2 more bottles. I am actually using agave this time round. I am also getting myself some probiotics for when I finish. I know it's a long way, but when I really think about it, Next week Friday is day 18 - day 18 people! And it seems so close but so far away.
Next week I will preparing my meal plans and so on, it's all VERY exciting. I daren't think about food right now because I will just get myself in quite a state. I think on Friday next week I will make my list in preparation for shopping at the weekend, because Sunday will be day 20. As I said before, I'm not sure IF I should pull through to day 21 - for instance if I have met my weight target. But there's a part of me that just wants to go to 21 days for the sake of it and that feeling of achievement.
I will see how it goes, but it's very exciting. Seems like early days but I tihnk I will be done in no time. I think I will update this blog on Friday (day 11) or Sunday (Day 13) I want to get my mind off this cleanse for a bit and focus on other things, I think that will help me stay stronger. |

| 21 Day Cleanse - DAY 6 |
I don't know if I should laugh or cry. My period is here as I probably mentioned, and this means I am retaining water - about 5 lbs of it. The scales are not going down much and infact I gaine weight the other day. So far I am down to 59 kg including the retained water, which should mean that I am actualy 56.6 kg and with 4 more days left till day 10 then on Friday I should weigh 53. 8 kg on Friday morning. And on Wednesday 26th morning, I should weigh 50.3 kg and another 3 days should mean I will have met my goal, that is allowing for a 5lb weight gain after the cleanse.
The only worry is that will mean the 29th is my last day but if I intend to do 21 days then I will have 2 more days to do - the question is can I do it? And will I do it. If I have achieved my goal I will probably want to stop. We'll see how it all works out.
Yesterday I wanted to quit so badly because I thought - If wasn't losing the weight then I'm just wasting time. Today I will visit the gym to make sure I tone up and speed the weight loss up as well. I always find after cleansing I have a flat tummy but it's still bulky - a little. I want a 4 pack - or whatever women get. And I want lean arms and thighs so we'll work on this. I have 5 days off this week so that means 5 visits to the gym! |
