Weight Loss on MC

[peanutterb]

Healthyw/MC - your BMs are supposed to be watery and only after the swf - which is a flush and it flushes everything out *get it?*
so no worries, you've been going good. I don't like doing the tea in the a.m., the swf is quicker and more efficient and when it's done it's done.

since your tongue's not pink yet then you should keep going. you'll only benefit so much more from staying on a little longer.

Have you read the General Help for Newbies thread yet? it explains about the swf and what to expect and all types of valuable info.

I love that you're wanting to cook. you can cook and freeze what you make until you're done with the cleanse. i love cooking, more so even while cleansing, i develop a new appreciation for food.

I did my first MC last April. My goal was not to lose weight BUT I lost a much needed 12 pounds over the 10 days and then an additional 5 the following week because I simply had such a small appetite. I work out quite vigorously and regularly and did so during the cleanse - 5 days a week, lifting and cardio. I had to scale back a day or two but for the most part I did my usual 1.5-2hr lifting/cardio routine. I cut my syrup in 1/2 in 4 of my drinks and doubled the syrup in my drinks prior to and after my workouts. Probably not necessary given how hard I work out.

I was worried about putting all of the weight back on so I went on Weight Watchers for a month and of course kept up my workouts. That month of 'eating guidelines' did help but 1 month was all I needed (FYI - I filtered through their food lists avoiding the fat free/processed garbage food). My eating habits TOTALLY changed after the MC. To date, I have reached and maintained my goal weight and I am so conscience of what I put in my body now. Losing my extra 20 pds was great but most importantly, I believe that the MC helped me live and eat better. I have discovered that you must have a certain mindset to have this type of success. My friends that succeeded on this program did not go into it as a weight loss fix. My friends that jumped on board to lose 20 pds did not make it past day 1.

I start my 2nd cleanse this Sunday along with my small group of fellow lemonheads. I anticipate many phone conversations about poo in my near future

I am on Day 9 of the MC and so far I have lost 13 pounds! I even went to dinner with family today to celebrate my brother's birthday. While they ate appetizers, ribs, & cornbread covered in peacan butter I ordered a bottle of water and sipped it with no problem. YEA! I am soo proud of myself because I just love me some ribs . Now I feel like I can do anything!

I am feeling pretty good these days. This is my first MC and I plan on doing it for 21 days. I intend to follow on with a few more after this in order to get to my goal weight.

This is my second day on the MC and I feel bloated from all the fluids. Ive done the LT at night and the SWF in the mornings and I drink a lot of water between omy lemonade drinks. Yet, I am retating a lot of water. My starting weight is 168 at 5'6" going for 130. I know its drastic measures but I have the will power to do it. I am naturally thin (135) but ever since i started that birth control shot it has blown me up. hoping to detox and start over.
My question is when do I start seeing results? and how many BM's should I have a day?

Today is my first day on the MC. I feel ok Not sure How it will go but Overall i want to feel healthier and lose about initially 20 lbs. I'm 170 now at 5'7 and would like to be at 140 or less. I know this is the begiinning to being more conscious of my food issues and my body wars. I'm planning to go beyond the 10 days if possible. I will see how my tongue looks and how I feel if I am ready to continue to maybe 20 days. good luck to me.
