Newbie & Q about lemonade fast.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and this board. I'm 40 and about 150 pounds overweight. The prospect of getting rid of all the pounds is so daunting and discouraging but I'm determined to make the second half of my life better than the first half. Have been overweight most of my life and am just tired of it. When I think that carrying this weight is sort of like a "normal" sized person carrying around another whole person everywhere they go, every day, day in and day out, it is a sobering thought. Like many of you I've tried lots of diets and have lost weight and regained... the usual yoyo pattern. I'm taking a gradual approach this time, trying to eat low fat and cutting way back on sugar - that's probably the biggest culprit for me, because I love candy! On the upside, I also love veggies, including the kinds that some people hate, like broccoli and brussels sprouts.

I have a specific question for you guys. Has anyone here tried the "master cleanser" lemonade drink fast, maybe intermittently in conjunction with their other eating plan? Does anyone know if there's anything special to know if you have alot of weight to lose, before trying the cleanser? Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, is there a place on the boards to find someone local who might be interested in being a "self improvement" buddy? Thanks for reading such a long post from a newbie - looking forward to all the wisdom out there! :)

Hey,

Welcome to the board! I'm sure you'll find lots of support here. People are using all sorts of different plans.

I've never heard of the lemonade fast, but I have to be honest in saying that it sounds like a scam and probably won't do anything special that you couldn't acheive by eating lots of fruits & veggies.

Good luck! Hope to see you around lots.

Welcome to the boards! I've never heard of the lemonade fast. I've been losing weight by eating sensibly, getting in some exercise and drinking lots of water. It's slow going, but hopefully when it comes off it will be off for good! Anyways, I'm glad you joined us :)
