Weight Loss on MC

[absolutesissi]

Hello,
I'm on day 4 and i have lost 7 pounds. my goal is to loose at least 25 pounds. what are your goals?
I am trying to do it this time for 20 days, the last time i did it for 14 days and that was 2 years ago. Since then, I have gain 20 lbs. Yeah ice cream is evil, especially for an addict personallity like mine!

Goddluck everyone, and thanks for reading.

When I did my first cleanse for six days, I lost twelve pounds. I did it for five days and lost ten pounds. I did it for nine days once and lost twelve pounds.
I am 5'9. My start weight has been anywhere from 160 to in the 190s. Yikes! I always lose more in the beginning, have a couple no loss days where I get discouraged but then it drops again. If I have cheated at all - it seriously screws up the weight loss - the results above are when I've done the cleanse with NO cheating.
I'm at it again. Starting at 185.5. Lost 4 lbs the first day but I started the day after Christmas and had a full three and a half pounds of food inside me because that is how much up the scale was from the day before. Hope that helps. I don't count how much lemon I drink. I drink as much as I can so I don't get too hungry.

Update:
I did the above cleanse for 14 days and went from 185.5 to 167.5. Lost 18 pounds in 14 days!

Am going again after a two week break because I have more to lose and I don't want to regain more than I already have. This is the first time I did not weigh myself to start because I didn't want to care so much about where I am starting. I just want to keep going down on the scale and keep my body getting more and more healthy!

Nice to see everyone losing weight and feeling great! I'm new and plan on starting a 35-40 day cleanse soon and I am just curious but with the weight you lose, do you lose inches as well? Or is it all just numbers off the scale?

On my first MC I went for about 38 days. I went from about 183lbs to 159lbs. I lost a ton of inches as well...none of my clothes fit. I'm thinking about doing another one soon, as I've since enlisted in the military and have "bulked" up a bit if you plan to go for a long period of time (20 days or more) keep in mind that you may not see a change in your weight for days...it's just the way the cleanse works

I loose lots of weight fast in the first couple of weeks......I think it is stored fluid. This MC I have lost 25lbs and it is only day 22. Its also very easy to put it all back on again if I go back to the American SAD diet...........

I also drink lots of water on the MC and I think that is one of the secrets of fast and easy weight loss without all the detoxing side effects.......half my body weight in ounces of water daily

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 'LEMONHEADS'

I am on day 6 and have lost 10 pounds over the first 5 days. I have not measured myself since I started but I know I've lost inches too since my clothes are looser.

Hi everyone! Reading about everyone's progress and challenges has been my encouragement and has given me the strength to go through this amazing experience. I tried back in November to do my first cleanse, but I couldn't do it - too addicted to fast food!
I started logging onto this site regularly in hopes of finding the motivation to actually complete a cleanse because I need it sooo desperately. Not anly am I overweight, but I have various aches and pains, get numbness in my hands and feet, and over my lifetime have suffered from facial paralysis in half of my face 4 times (each time it has lasted from 1 to 4 months after specific treatments). The last time I had it was in 2001 but only healed about 90%.
So I found the motivation - my health!!!! And this wonderful site with all of you! When I started my cleanse, I weighed 219.5lb. Today is Day 10 and I am going for 20 to 30 days.

Days 1-2 pretty easy
Days 3-4 major headaches running down my neck
Days 5-8 easy but lingering neckache, and everything I cooked for my family smelled heavenly but
not tempting
Days 9-10 felt nerves in my face moving (maybe the ones that never healed!), head and neckache
gone!!
Weight so far: 211

I will keep going until I can say all the numbness is gone and my kneepain is gone.
Thanks to everyone!!

I am on day 4 of my first MC. I am doing this to get on the right path. I am 5'2" and weigh 177, toomuch. After my 4th child I put on the weight and I am having a really hard time getting it off. I am getting discouraged because this is day 4 and I have not lost any weight, in fact I have even gained a few pounds. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong. Please help.

Congratulations on your first 10 days Nisasilva! You should be proud of yourself for coming this far. I would love to hear about your progress.

I'm 2 days post cleanse now. I have lost 20 lbs. after 28 days and so far (it's only been 2 days) none has come back. I have my period too so maybe I'll lose a little more when that's over.
I'm really motivated to eat better now. I know if I go back to my old ways, it will just come right back.
