    I'm going on a girls weekend to a friend's condo at the lake and we decided to bring a few snacks and one or two bottles of wine each. I figured this is also a good time to see what's in my pantry and freezer that I can utilize for the last night of the cleanse... This doesn't even include the kids' Easter candy that I've been sneaking after they go to bed because they watched me pull this good stuff out and were like, "WTF Mom, you've been holding out on us!"

    Thinking for the last night of the cleanse I should just have a bite of everything....

I've been up late for several days and then up early, early this morning just trying to wrangle close enough estimates for an extension without penalties and I estimate I may drink my bodyweight in beer, caffeine, wine, (likely tequila later) and who knows what before I can even consider a sweet treat this evening. Rough ending to this cleanse!

    I can't comment about weight. I think I lost some overall, but last week was bad. I'm retaining water like crazy because PMS is due soon though so it's impossible to tell...

    Calling it a success as I have more or less stayed close to my leisurely cutting plan of roughly 0.5lb per week!

    Cortelli we should do a booze cleanse. You and I would rock that.

    Indeed! And auddii would too! May not be much of a challenge for us, though! This Spring Cleanse actually forced me to eat sweets every day whereas I might otherwise have skipped numerous days - generally not a problem I encounter when thinking about a glass of wine or some sipping tequila every day.

    That's true. Having a glass of wine daily is a no brainer for me. Figuring out what sweets I was going to fit in, and trying not to compromise my nightly glass of vino was a little more challenging.

    My cleanse results are not dramatic. I've been in "should I keep trying to lose a little more or should I just switch to maintenance" mode for a while now. A month long cleanse allows for a number of contributing factors to fluctuation, so if anything, I think I'm down a pound or two since we started but not lower than my lowest recorded weight on MFP.

    Well, I was hoping to have something super exciting for the last day but I guess that didn't happen. So for day 33, I had Talenti Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup. Not that it is not good, but not the exciting and different ending I was hoping for.

    I was hoping for something special but ended up falling short.


    But it never has to end!

    EDIT: and kudos to Malibu! I can't keep up with the congrats on cleanse successes, so consider this a big thumbs up to all cleansers!
    True!

    I think I've more or less remained around the same weight. Things have only really gotten back to "normal" for me recently but I've had a lot of good sweets along the way with many more to come. :wink:

    I'm the opposite. I pretty much never drink. Not because I don't like to but just because if I'm going to spend a couple hundred calories I'd rather have food most of the time.

    Same. Even on Holidays... alcohol is just never worth the calories to me anymore (like soda and juice, really). The only exception I guess would be a nice dry cider.

    I just don't like the taste of alcohol. I'll have a drink maybe twice a year...which actually may account for three drinks in the next three weeks (two banquets and a vacation).

    I'm not big on alcohol either.

    And I can't really drink any now since I'm nursing. I refuse to 'pump & dump'.

    I think the cleanse was for me at least an overall success, but I usually have a snack daily anyway - I just went more to the sweet then the salty for this timeframe. But honestly I think the reason I have lost 70 lbs so far (not sure about my actual loss during the cleanse because I haven't been weighing myself - long story but I keep getting dressed before I am near the scale because the scale is in the living room and I am trying to leave for work early and don't want to come down, weigh, go back up and get dressed) is that I am not restricting what I eat in terms of what I have had, I am just making sure to eat a reasonable amount of whatever it is. So really you can credit my weight loss success to cupcakes (which are one of the things I eat fairly often - although those last ones made me sad). I think an alcohol cleanse could be fun but would be harder for me because honestly while I like the taste I just am either 1) too lazy to make anything or 2) really just forget to have a drink. Also it makes me super sleepy and I usually go from ok to asleep or sick with no fun middle part.

    I think this whole thing was great and I am glad so many people seem to have though so too - I hope we have another one very soon!!

    I'm glad everyone had so much fun and success with the cleanse! You know the first thing we always ask in the forums is "are you going to do that forever, why make a temporary change?"

    I think we can all agree that this cleanse is truly a lifestyle change.... So even though we may not be doing the daily reporting of every sweet that is consumed, I hope the newcomers to the group will continue to post and share any amazing finds you come across!

    I was so sad last night that I had a ton of calories left over so I could have two servings of Talenti Salted Caramel. The boyfriend got to it, so I finished off the container and ended up with only 1.57 servings. I ended up supplementing with a beer.

    While I say I'd be all for a beer cleans, I lift at 5am before eating, and it's rough after a beer (or 3). My squat session was crap this morning; not sure if it was just an off day (it's deload week, but everything still felt like A LOT) or if the beer affected things. I really usually only drink one night a week, and the next day is cardio only (and in the afternoon so I can sleep in an extra hour).

    I had some Talenti then I tried a new Lindt today (it's going to be a square a day until my stash is gone, probably by Christmas or something in time to stock up during Black Friday, lol!).

    Really good. Sorry to say I think I still like chocolate over ice cream. Maybe we should make a chocolate thread.

    I kind of disappeared from this thread. My dad's health suddenly took a turn for the worse and he passed away on the 9th :cry: I'm doing okay, just didn't have much energy for chatting on line.

    But I did eat something sweet and yummy each day. Probably too much. I enjoyed the cleanse (and wouldn't mind another before long), but I really need to get serious about IIFYM meaning If It Fits Your Macros rather than Fits Your Mouth :tongue:

    Other news ... I weighed approximately the same today as at the beginning of the cleanse, so at least I haven't gained a bunch.

    I'm not an alcohol drinker, either, so a booze cleanse would be a no-go for me. Though, that shouldn't keep those who want to from holding one.

    I kind of disappeared from this thread. My dad's health suddenly took a turn for the worse and he passed away on the 9th :cry: I'm doing okay, just didn't have much energy for chatting on line.

    But I did eat something sweet and yummy each day. Probably too much. I enjoyed the cleanse (and wouldn't mind another before long), but I really need to get serious about IIFYM meaning If It Fits Your Macros rather than Fits Your Mouth :tongue:

    So sorry for your loss :(

    Yeah sorry about your dad. That just plain sucks.

    Sorry for your loss, mathjulz.

    Have we started the booze cleanse? 'Cause I've had a number of these Valtellina Shandies this afternoon after a cousin's first communion (Catholic rite; and not technically a cousin - I think a second cousin once removed, junior). My uncle (not technically an uncle - I think a first cousin once removed, senior) brought this recipe and had a pitcher of the mixer, less beer, ready for the keg and for all comers).

    I will pass the cleanse torch to you Cortelli and let you determine the right time to start the booze cleanse... You may have to solicit some participants from the general forums though... Might be tricky if you start a booze group. Could quickly get out of control!

    I will hold off on a booze cleanse for now. Partly because I'm not sure it fits in this group; partly because I'm not sure it fits many folks' macros or training goals; and partly because I just settled into Playa del Carmen, Mexico just south of Cancun for a quick family spring break trip. My kids are (hopefully) going to become certified SCUBA divers).

    I'm mostly off MFP for a week in favor of seafood, beer, tequila, and , diving. Not necessarily in that order.
