Body clinging to weight on MC

I've been on The Master Cleanser for a week now, and my body doesn't seem to want to give up any weight. I'm down only about 2 pounds despite being over 20 pounds overweight. I did Master-Cleanse once before and lost 7 pounds in the first 2 days, then a pound a day thereafter.

I'm thrilled to be cleansing my body and know that's the primary objective, but I'd like to be ridding myself of some of the fat as well (where a lot of the toxins live). I have been limiting my intake of the maple syrup to about 6-8 T. a day (almost twice that of lemon juice) and have been getting some amount of exercise, mostly yoga and hiking.

Do you have any idea why I might be holding onto this weight so tightly? I'm getting pretty frustrated... Thanks in advance! Tweet
