Down another .4 pounds

My running total, for 8 Days on VLCD is 9.8 pounds! That is impressive and I am really happy with this protocol. It is not easy and if you are trying to decide if it is right for you, just remeber that you must be 100% commited to following Dr. S's protocal. It doesn't always make sense, why you can't eat certain things, or mix veggies, but trust in Dr. S's research and you will do well.
I am hoping for a 20 pound weight loss on a 23 day round, and feel confident that it will happen. I would love for the loss to be larger, but will be happy with 20. I will have to do more rounds, to get where I want to be, but will just see how the maintence period goes, during the holiday months.
My food yesterday:
apple
grilled chicken breast
Melba
grilled shrimp
iceburg lettuce salad with AVC and Bragg's Amino's + spices, dressing
Melba
I left out one fruit and had lots of tea and water.

I had a rough day yesterday, feeling foggy headed. Thankfully, it has passed and I feel really good today. I must have been detoxing, and had to push through it. I have also noticed my middle back area hurting some. I took 2 tylenol, this morning, so hopefully that won't hurt my progress.
I did a 1 mile "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD walk this morning.
I am excited about this weight loss happening so fast. On other diets, it woudl take me over a month to lose 10 pounds, and I have come close to that in 8 days. AMAZING!
I will say it again, it isn't easy and unlike other diets, you can't cheat and have a bite of something and then just exercise longer, or cut back on another meal, to make up for it. So you have to be intenetional. But, so far, I feel it is worth the sacrifices. There will be other trips to resturants, and other meals that will be yummy. I am changing my habits and my mindset and that is a big part of keeping the weight off for good.
