wow...that's a lot of reading. I just asked if anyone had done the lemon cleanse...lol. I think I have my answer

So you did it for weight loss or for the cleansing? My co-workers said they were very weak also.....our jobs are very physical, so feeling weak would not great at work.

That is a lot of info. I don't believe I have any of those problems hep or a partial obstruction but it is some interesting information. Thank you for your input.

That is fantastic. I love the smoothies also. My favorite is unsweetened almond milk, 1 leaf of kale, 1 fresh orange, 1 half banana, ice cubes and 2 tbsp. flaxseed. I try to have one of these at least 3 times a week. substituting the orange for an apple. Congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work

No they have not. In fact I am in excellent health (my doctor says) other then I personally want to lose about 10 more pounds. True, I don't want to be miserable. I was just asking the question, if anyone had done it. I have fasted before for one day, which my doctor said is ok to do, but that is the longest I have gone…

thank you for your responses. Makes me feel good about NOT doing it. I was just curious. I had tried colonox before and felt like crap after and didn't want to feel the same after doing this.

Well agreed that's what I thought the liver was for. It was nothing bought online just ingredients in the store. I did see several lemon cleanse sites online. I read something about when John Wayne and Elvis Presley died they had 18 to 20 pounds of waste inside them, so it got me thinking what is inside my body.

a counter is very beneficial. I have a very physical job where I walk most of my shift. I put a pedometer on and I walk about 10 to 12 hours a night.

I had never tried that way of cooking it. The only way I have done it, is boil it whole in a pan of water. When it's done cut it in half and pull out the squash with a fork. It comes right out of the skin. (of course I take out the seeds)

I just discovered spaghetti squash...and I lived my whole life not knowing about it? I am in love with this stuff. I ate it for 10 dinner meals in a row and it really gave my weight loss another jump start. I love it with lite parmesean sauce (diluted) , mushrooms, broceli and tomatoes. I am so glad my daughter-en-law told…

I forgot to add that I sometimes buy kale and grind up a leaf or two of that in the smoothie. It does change the flavor though and I don't like it as well, but Kale is very healthy!

I have two that I use and I don't vary much because I like them so much 1 cup Blue diamond Almond breeze (almond/coconut) UNSWEETENED - very important 1 4oz musselmans lite cinnamon applesauce 1/2 cup unsweetened canned peaches 2 tbsps. FLAX USA flaxseed 4 ice cubes. the other smoothie I make is I substitute 3 frozen…

I agree, it's much easier to track everything on MFP. I got tired of counting points on weight watchers. I think twice about what I eat to, because I know I will have to log it in and be accountable.

Like someone else mentioned...you are on a site where people are trying to eat healthy, not junk food which seemed to be you "old diet". Now if you want some ideas on how to eat healthy, I am sure you will get many responses. I guess if you want to eat as you did before, just do it. It seems like you cut out the wine, so…

Welcome! 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss is normal for a week, but starting out you may lose more as it is water weight. That is a lot to lose in 5 months, but I am sure it's possible. You just need to make sure you are eating the proper calories for your height and weight. You don't' want to starve yourself and not get…

I just recently have been trying recipes with spaghetti squash. I had never cooked or tried this amazing vegetable, but now I am hooked on it. You can put so many things on it. I don't like anything with red sauce so I tried putting half of a small jar of lite alfredo sauce diluted with milk, mushrooms, green pepper and…

Hi there and welcome to MFP. You might have been gaining muscle and that could be he reason for gaining one pound with the boot camp. Do your clothes fit any looser. This happened to me one week as I exercised like crazy and gained two pounds yet my pants were more loose around the stomach. Just try to log in all you eat…

You are never too old. I am 58 years old and just started using weights a few months ago. It's actually needed as part of your exercise program as it helps with changing your metabolism. We need that at our age! You should incorporate it into your weekly exercise program. I will do cardio one day and weights the next and…

I stopped using soy once I tasted the almond....so much better IMO. What about almond vs coconut milk. Just wondering which is more nutritious

Get up really really early and go. We have been having hot weather also, minus the humidity. I usually don't wake up until 9, but have been getting up at 7 to get outside before the heat sets in

No they didn't stick maybe a .5 pound though. I feel like I have benn fluctuating with 4 or 5 pounds this past month. The only time I actually dropped some weight this past month was when I had some major kids problems and was too worried to eat. I am going to pack along some good foods to take. At this place we are going…

My will power at home is great. Nothing tempts me during the work week because I pack my lunch every day. We will only be gone three days but in that time we will be with a group of people (softball tournament) and so this always happens......let's go have pizza, let's get a hamburger, ice cream sounds great...and on and…

Also you need to eat, don't forget. Get up a little earlier and eat breakfast without the kids. Mid morning have a small snack - for instance a yogurt or a piece of fruit. Eat lunch after your little one goes down for a nap and your other one is at pre-school. As for dinner eat early before you go to the gym or have a…

I would like to be a 6. I can wear some size 8 clothing but it's tight.
