Last night I did not drink the tea. I had no cramping, but didn't have quite as many b.m.'s and the consistency was not as loose. I've been feeling quite a bit of energy dispite the lack of sleep. I've lost 6 lbs.  I felt as though I did not empty out everything today. Tonight I'm trying the tea again. I need to lose about 20 lbs. and I'm going to stick with the plan for now.
