Weight Loss on MC

[Anni]

Hi! I guess I'm one of those that doesn't lose much during the cleanse... I'm on Day 12 of my 3rd cleanse. I've only lost 4 lbs, but my period is just finishing. It's quite frustrating since I really wanted to lose a whole lotta weight! Any suggestions, comments are welcome! akirsten7@hotmail.com

Wow...

I hadn't stopped to think about it before, but I've lost quite a bit of weight on the Master Cleanse.

My first cleanse (just a partial cleanse, since I caved on day 8) took me from 175lbs to 160. Between that cleanse and this one, I went back up to 165lbs from eating all the foods I was craving on the cleanse.

Now it's my second cleanse, day 9, and when I stepped on the scale this morning it told me the most incredible thing: 158... !!!!

I haven't seen that number on a bathroom scale for nearly a decade, and it's amazing to see how much fat is still left on my body.

I fully intend to ride this horse as far as she goes, and continue on the cleanse until I run out of Maple Syrup. With any luck, I'll make it down to 68kg (150lbs) before I'm done!

Happy cleansing everyone, and Stay Positive!

Hello,
I started at 147 & am 5'3 1/2". I am just finishing day 7 of the fast, and plan to do 10 days. On the morning of day 3 I had dropped 6lbs, on the morning of day 5 I had put 3lbs back on, and now this morning I was back to my starting weight. I have been following the plan and using the tea each night. I've done the SWF 4 times. The second time I did the SWF (day 4) I accidentally put 2tbs of salt (rather than 2tsp). I can't believe that this is still causing me such water retention that I have put back on the 6lbs! I've been doing the tea on the mornings I haven't done the salt. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm exercising every day (yoga or walking), drinking 6 drinks and more water. It's really frustrating...
thanks. J

Hello, I'm new to the master cleanser, and I've been doing a lot of research about it, and I had a question about weight loss.
I'm 5'1 really close to 5'2 and I was weighing about 136 a few days ago, but I've gained alittle weight in the last two weeks so now its about 146, so thats my general weight, I've never done a cleanse before, but I have fasted, and I usually lose 1lb a day after the first three days, and I was wondering, how much weight do you think I would lose daily on this type of fast rather than a all water fast, or anyone who fits my profile how much did you lose? Was that with or without working out?

I am starting day one today! I have been really excited to start this and have been able to set aside 10 days for the summer. It is really hard in the summer with all the BBQs and social events going on. I decided to do this to get a fresh start. I am 25 and sort of had a quarter life breakdown. I am hoping I will come out of this with a sense of clarity and a decided direction to take in life. It is time to make a change. Currently I go out a lot and drink on weekends; I also smoke and drink lots of coffee... I still want to have a social life and go out, but I am looking to cut out all (or most) of my bad habits.
I have already lost about 20 pounds over the last 5 months, just by eating better, and exercise. I want to really go the extra mile while I am already motivated.

Starting weight (today) 165.3 lbs 5'8". My goal is to get down to 150 lbs. or fit into the dress I wore for graduation 3 years ago.

I felt really nauseous this morning after the salt water flush for a good hour. After I released the fluid I felt much better but I was really uncomfortable for a good hour. Do other people feel this? Did I drink the water too fast? Does it get better? Thanks! And good luck to everyone else out there!

The salt water only gets easier from here.

This morning, (day 14) I woke up, and drank my swf with no problem at all. What makes it so nasty is the mucous being dissolved as you drink it earlier on in the cleanse.

Once the mucous isn't so badly accumulated in your body, the salt water flush gets super easy, and at least for me, something I can look foreward to. ^.^

Good luck, and congratulations on taking the first step!

HELP !!!! Ok, have read the entire book and am terrified to do this, yet excited at the same time. I need to do this for millions of reasons and I need some advise from any of you. here is my situation..... 42 years old, 60lbs overweight, HORRIBLE habits, single mom that works about 50 hours a week. guess one of my main questions is when are the detox symptoms going to be the worst. I am trying to decide when will be the best day of the week to start this and juggle my life.

It varies from person to person, but detox days usually fall on the 2nd, the 3rd, the 7th, and the 14th.

For me, I didn't experience any heavy detox 'till day 6, then had another bad one on day 8. I craved pretty bad three days ago (day 11), and yesterday (day 13)

That's me, and I use alot of cayenne pepper (which accelerates everything), so I may have been experiencing detox on all the first few days, but not noticed it, since there was no change from days 1 to 5 in terms of cravings and stomach-aches.

I also haven't ever done anything in my life where the "normal" expectations actually came through. I guess I've been weird all my life.

Most likely, your worst days will be 2, 3, 7, and 14 (if you go that far)

Hope that helps!
Good luck, and happy cleansing!

Well today is my 4th day of my second cleanse. I have lost 3.2 lbs. Not sure if I will loose as much as I did my first time but that is ok because after I finished my first cleanse I started the raw food diet and continue to loose more weight and become healthier and that is my goal this time just to make sure my body is cleansed good and to become healthier.

I started yesterday, then I weighed 146.5 and after one day I lost about 3 pounds which is amazing. I plan on doing this only to lose weight, since I am alredy eating healthy.

I'm 6'0 and weigh 143.4 hopefully plan on losing a little bit more. I still have a little pudge and some fat on my chest.
