Weight Loss on MC

[Joppie]

I'm wrapping up day 11 of the MC. Stats below. I found it rather interesting that "stalled" out on days 8 - 10. After the flush this morning, I was down another 2. What's more amazing than the pounds lost are the inches. I lost 3 inches in my waist, my legs look like toothpicks (according to my wife) and my clothes are swallowing me.

I'm actually "used" to the MC now. Went to lunch the last 2 days with coworkers and got sick to my stomach watching them eat. I have to admit... I enjoy "smelling" their food, though.

Gonna go to 21 days this time around. May try 40 in the Summer. Looking forward to coming off the MC the right way and establishing healthier habits.

For the first time in a week, I weighed myself. SW: 202. CW: 189 GW:....nothing in particular. So, I'm fairly satisfied. Now it's back to the gym to get rid of more fat fat fat! Have a great day everyone!

Hi There,
I am on my 3rd day off the cleanse & still losing weight. I lost 14.5 lbs. I was supervised by a doctor & I was really puffy & bloated on my 3rd day. My doctor said it was from the salt water flush in the morning, my body could not handle it so he just had me do the lax tea in the morning & evening & stop the Salt water flush.
Good Luck,
Twiggy

Welcome to the Board. This is a quote from Burrough's book:

"For those who are overweight, less maple syrup may be taken. For those underweight, more maple syrup may be taken. For those who are underweight and worried about losing more weight, REMEMBER, the only things you can possible lose are mucus; waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated. Many people who need to gain weight actually do so near the end of the diet period."

So no, you don't have to worry about losing weight, IF you read his book and follow the directions.

Hello everyone!
Just found this thread and decided to post.

I became interested in the MC for the weight loss, but after researching, reading the books and this BB I am looking forward to the detoxing, having a clean slate and eating healthier, too. Weight loss is still my primary goal, but being healthier is a close second now.

Anyway this is the 5th day of my first 10 day MC. I decided to only weigh myself every third day so as not to be totally focused on the weight, and at the same time keep myself encouraged.

The only exercise that I am doing is walking. I walk about 5 miles three times a week. I am going to slowly increase this because I am keeping in training to do my second 1/2 marathon later this year. I am hoping the MC will help me get the energy to get back up to speed even faster so maybe I can squeeze two 1/2 marathons in this year! We will see!

It is great to read about so many of your successes. Keep up the great job.
