I am getting very discouraged and down. And well for me food is comfort and I am about to throw in the towel. Someone please help...is there anything else that I can do??????????

I plateaued in the 2nd week last time, that's why I have done two separate weeks for maximum benefit! It is so frustrating when you don't see any loss, then 3lbs drop over night. Grammy used to swear by body brushing. I got a bruch from Boots and occationally have a brush (detox brush) It helps to release toxins that are in the skin etc which then get released from the body through going to the toilet. My best weight loss was also after a massage and cardio work out... Just a thought!

Can anyone tell me what colour the drink should look like - don't know whether I've made it correctly! Also, what's the difference between the lemonade diet and the maple syrup diet?

I make it in an empty gallon container. I add 8 - 8 oz cups of bottled water, 1 cup of fresh squeezed lemon and 1/2 cup of maple syrup. I then mix it and pour it into 8 oz bottles of water which I add the tip of a spoon of cayenne pepper right before drinking each bottle. The recipe calls for 1 cup of maple syrup but I choose to put only 1/2 cup. I find that it is too sweet with 1 cup. I hope this helps.

i'm no longer on the cleanse. i have to stop accordingly to my therapist and for my own well being. my eating disorder has gotten in the way and i want to live a happy life.

thank you alwayssmile, jodie, grammy and everyone else for all the support while on the cleanse. although i wish i could have stayed on the cleanse and then started the healthier approach to eating but time and time again after the first time on the cleanse i have yet to go past 2 days and i kept on beating myself up for it by binging. so i am hoping i can stay strong in the healthier approach of dieting to help me get over this horrible eating disorder i have. i do believe that i will do the cleanse again maybe sometime later on in life just to clear my body of toxins but not right now.

good luck to everyone =) keep in touch. i am usually UTD in writing in the other blog

Hi,
Im on my first day and thought I'll join in for the support. I never fasted before, so this will be though. I seemed to have gained 2 lbs since this morning from water retention so I'm a little mad. Im hoping to lose about 10-20 in 10 days. We shall see. Im scared to leave the house in case I get the runs. Is my salt water supposed to be that salty, I mixed 2 tsp to 1 qrt but it was salty, hard to drink a quart of anything at once but salt water was just nasty. Hope to see some results tomorow morning. Also, I wanted to abstain from liquor and figured this will be a good motivation. No food and alchol. Though week for me. Well I will keep posting on my progress and wish me luck.

**** only 2 days down and 8 more to go. It was not a good idea to start this on a weekend but I was desperate to lose some weight before next weekend. There isn't much to do that does not involve eating. I wanted to post my loss/progress to keep me motivated so here it is. Don't know if this is at a good rate or not but a lose is a lose. I want to go down to 120 so we shall see.
Beg. weight 7/20 133lbs---7/21 132lbs---7/22 130lbs....?????

Keep up the good work, doglover!!
