Can I ask you a question about your weight loss? Did you have any extra weight around your abdomen? I am just wondering since you said you had a cyst. Does losing 'stuff' from your colon/bowel help you to get a flatter abdomen? This is where I have my most extra weight and I was wondering what kind of weightloss to expect. I know everyone is different but just wanted to ask. This question is open to anyone willing to talk about thier weightloss from the MC.

This is a copied message from day 18 on the benefits experienced so far:

- greatly reduced asthma (only need the puffer occasionally when I run now...was a daily need)
- 400% improvement on running endurance (was completely out of shape before I started)
- normal blood pressure (was borderline high before)
- clear, soft skin (had Acne and extremely dry)
- eczema reduced (used to drive me nuts!)
- calmer more alive disposition (was exhausted, and extremely stressed at work...little ruffles me now)
- bright eyes (people commented before that I had the glassed over look)
- silkier hair (was dry and lifeless in look before)
- can sleep better (had mild insomnia before)
- muscle tension almost completely gone (my shoulders used to get so tight that they would press on a nerve and the pain would go down my arm to my wrists)

New changes are that I was passing stones like crazy from day 11 to 19, painlessly and without a liver flush, and I've lost 20 pounds. I'm still passing stones, but not as many.

Still running and feeling amazing. It's like I'm a different person now...I even look different. Amazing what good health can do to your overall disposition and look.

I still have a ways to go...still releasing lots of crap.
