I plan on doing it for 2 days during the week NOT on the weekend.

I am going to revisit the plan for this coming week or two, but not tonight I'm going out!

I'm starting this tomorrow - 2/27. Who else is in? I've been working with a trainer for 3 months and see great results but my eating is what's holding me back. I figure this cleanse will reboot my system and my mind so I can start making healthier eating choices. One question - do I still take my vitamins and supplements on the cleanse - vitamin, Vit E, calcium, etc?

I had already planned to do this, probably quarterly. I felt so much better after the 28 Day Challenge I can't see any reason to participate only once a year. My skin is clearer, my gums tighter, am still losing weight. I also have a lot more energy. I think the 2012 Challenge is the best yet!

I really loved the cleanse and did it for 6 weeks with good decrease in cholesterol and feeling really good. I'm still incorporating a lot of the recipes. I'd love a weekly or monthly update of 1-4 cleanse worthy recipes as follow up throughout the year. Even though I know what I should look for, it would take the searching out of it and I'd know it followed the plan. Just a thought for next year.

Sylvie - a great resource during your cleanse is the The Clean Program website. All of the recipes on this site are detox worthy. http://cleanprogram.com/files/clean-program-recipes.pdf
