Hello Everyone...
Day eight with me too. Yesterday was much easier than day six. Didn't feel hungry until late afternoon/evening, but still not as bad as anytime on day six. Lost another 1-2 pounds, so down 8 or 9 now as of last night. Scale is sort of weird, so not sure exactly. My son is down 10 pounds, and looks like he's lost most of his gut.
I've noticed my skin is in better shape. I've had a problem with eczema/psoriasis around my nose and eyebrows since I was a teenager (I'm 55 now). It seems to have cleared up for the most part. My Arthritis I think is better, my wrists, hands and fingers would ache without doing anything. My wrists stopped aching after a couple of days, and my hands seemed better. After stacking the wood, my wrists ached, but stopped quickly, so I think they're doing better. My Hives got really bad about day 5 of the MC. They seem to be slowly getting better now. Hopefully they will clear up by the time I'm done.
I got a text from my Firefigher/Paramedic (I'm the Fire Captain on the crew) that ate the pizza on day 4. He went back on the MC, but on day six at night he said he got really sick. But when he got up the next morning he felt fine. He thought that he must have been releasing toxins out of his body. Makes as much sense as anything else.
As I was writing this, my son walked in with a bunch of orange juice. He said he's done, can't do it anymore. I understand, I've come close a couple of times myself. I still could fall, hope not though.
One last thing, I tried the lemonade hot. Not a bad way to change it up a bit.
Good Luck everyone!
