I think I started somewhere in the 168 range. I didn't weigh myself until the 3rd day and I was in the high 165's.

Did you go straight to food on your first day or did you stick to soup?

I'm pumped. Today is my last day before I start easing myself back into eating. I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 158.8. I broke the 160 barrier. Rocking!

Been feeling pretty good overall. However I can definitely see myself enjoying a nice dinner sooner than later. ;)

I'll keep you guys abreast of the return back to food. One thing for sure, I would do this again in a heartbeat. It was quite easy... plus it was economical.

I reserved a lot more time than that... it usually took about an hour to flush through my system.

I was gagging like crazy on it... however I have taught myself to not be phazed by it anymore.

Anyone? I just went straight into it.

I had a question brought up while I was talking about the cleanse. Wouldn't it just be easier to take some laxative than use a liter of salt water to do the top down cleanse.

I honestly have no answer... but it seems to me like a good question. I just thought that maybe the salt water option was more natural versus some medicine.

If someone could answer me I would really appreciate it. My theory is that it could be an appetite suppresant?

Its quite simple. Mix these 3 ingrediens into a 1 liter container. Then fill the rest up with water. People recommend filter or bottled water since it is pure. I did that as a precaution as well.

* 14 Table Spoons Lemon Juice
* 14 Table Spoons Maple Syrup
* 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

God I hate this part of the cleanse. The first day I did it I only got through one glass before I was gagging soo much that I couldn't go any further. Anyone else have this problem?

I have since been able to condition myself not to do it whenever I have time to wait around for things to flush out.

Today I did a bunch of activity and while I was quite exhausted I was still impressed that I didn't pass out or something. It just ceases to amaze me that I could do physical activities without carbo loading or something.

The activites today constituted 2.5 hours at the rock climbing gym. I was super drained afterward and didn't recover super fast however.

In the morning I weighed in at 163.2 pounds.

Its getting to the home stretch. Its been over a week since I ate something and I'm feeling quite good. I skipped the salt water flush today since I had meetings to be at in the morning and didn't have time to wait around. Overall today I haven't been feeling hungry at all either.

I am a bit tired at 9pmish which is a bit early for me. Not sure if that is tied to anything in general.

I weighed in at 160.4 today. Wondering if I'll break below the 160 mark tomorrow on my last day.

I forgot to note that as of this morning I am weighing 160.8 pounds.

I know the point of the cleanse is to detoxify your body but you can't help but notice the weight come off as well. Share how much you lost and how many days you were on it.

Today I'm feeling really good. Almost a bit giddy. The weirdest part is that its about 8pm and I am not done with my daily dosage and I am not even hungry one bit. Its pretty amazing how long you can go without any type of solid food in your stomach.
