Weight Loss on MC

[Intheflow]

I'm on Day 6 of MC. Haven't been on a scale in probably 2 years as I have observed my metabolism tank with menopause ( not that it was particularly robust before that!) Yeah, I know we always want to blame the metabolism. I feel I've made good progress as my skirts (the 3 I can still fit into) are not nearly so tight. (The skirts are size 14-16, but with the magic of spandex or lycra or whatever in the jeans skirt, it has served over a wide range of weights! )
What I really like about the MC is that I don't have to think about food. The day is already laid out. I was too distracted over the holidays (and for most of my life, if truth be told) by the planning and execution of the eating. More later when I have the guts to hop on a scale. Good luck to all of you who are improving your health!

I'm on Day 7, MC 1

I'm not doing the cleanse to lose weight, I just want to clean up my body and restart my thinking about food.

I'm 5'10" I weighed 145 lbs in the beginning.

This morning I'm 139lbs, so I lost 6 lbs so far...

I am 5'11 and a man. I lost 13lbs on my first 10 day cleanse. The only exercise was 3 walks 45 min to 1hour in duration. I am on my second cleanse day 7 of 21+. I started day one at 197. On the morning of day 5 I weight 189lbs. The only real exercise has been 3 walks of 1/2 to 1 hour long.
Best wishes,

Hi,

I'm on day 31 of the clense and have lost 20 lbs. I'm hoping to go for 40 days. I had hopes of losing 30 lbs in 40 days as I have always been a slow loser. I have done the clense 2 or 3 times in the last 5 years always going just the ten days and losing around 9 pounds. This time I am in it for the long haul and pray God will continue to give me the strength to perservere.

Can anyone tell me what signs your body gives you that enough is enough?

UPDATE: By day 15 I am down 18lbs....sweet

Good Morning

I'm on day four & have currently lost 10lbs - good start?

I'm on 6 lemonades a day with 2 tbs of MS in each, this is around 1200 cals isn't it which is fine for my body for around two weeks so if I stay on it longer I'll up to 1500 cals so a few more drinks per day. I do have reason behind this, I normally follow rosemary conley diet which is 1200 1st 2 weeks then 1500 thereafter - I lost 12 & half stone on her healthy eating & exercise plan hence becoming the slimmer of the year last year but xmas & winter holidays have seen my greed return & I've gained eek! hope this weight stay off after the detox!!

Iris rose - you mentioned you were a bit down as You'd dropped 2lbs & was expecting more - you said you're having 12 or more drinks a day, could it be that we're only meant to have 6 - 12 drinks per day that is the problem? Maybe too many cals?? Only a thought

Have a good day guys!
