Re: Day 30: Long time, no see! (long winded update)

Hi! Congrats on Day 1! First step is often the hardest one to take. :-)

I've lost about 25lb and hope to keep it off by transitioning to raw vegan now that all my cravings are gone. I never intended to go 30 days. I set the goal for 10 but kept increasing it by 5 as I reached each goal. It felt right to my body, and I knew that I was already way over expectation so if I stopped at day 14 or 21 or something I wouldn't feel at all bad.

I drank at least 64 oz a day. 32 oz of lemonade mixed with another 32 oz of water kept in a big bottle I carried with me. Made for a weaker lemonade, but kept me hydrated and I could chug it if I was really hungry. I usually drink about 32 oz of water so I kept that up (96 oz total) and then broke it up with teas and gum when I got bored. I do my SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) like a tequila shot. I dissolve it in 4 oz of water, put it in a shot glass, shoot it , suck a lemon, then down the 32 oz of water and have a piece of gum. And visit the forum OFTEN. It really helps keep you motivated. :-)

You're gonna do great!
