I am jazzed! The cleanse not only helped relieve the pain, but really jump started the weight loss! At weeks 4, 5, and 6 I was stuck at 18 pounds.

After a couple of weeks not loosing anything and feeling swollen with achy joints from the animal proteins I decided to take time out to do the "Master Cleanse" or lemonade cleanse. About 8 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Along with that came chronic fatigue and a gouty-type condition. I have never had true gout, just achy swollen joints (somethimes the joint fluid even comes out the ends of my fingers!) Over the...

I have always been an out doors girl....a "tomboy". Even tho I am nearly 60 years old I still love working hard outside. My husband was in a trucking accident and has had several surgeries on his back, so I am the one cutting and hauling the wood, working in the yard all summer and going mining for gemstones on the desert. Yes! I am the old lady you saw in the rock pit! Ha...

Friday I finished the Cycle 2. I haven't lost anymore and actually feel a little bloated. I am guessing it is the carbs, even tho I only had a single portion for breakfast and lunch. I think I am going back to Cycle 1. That was where I felt the best and lost the bulk of my 18 pounds. I don't do well with the red meat, either. It just lays in my gut and...

With a few more days to go on the second phase, Cycle 2, I have lost just 1 more pound this week. That puts me at 178. I have about 20 more to go. I am so glad I had read the part in the book about the "saboteurs" in a dieters life. My husband is a skinny old guy, eating ice cream or cookies everynight. Last week he sent me to the store to buy potato...

I am an old lady (58 in March) but I...
