I have to do six weeks of Optifast, I'm currently 11 days in and have lost 28 pounds

I'm starting 2 weeks on Monday...I'm really excited to see how much I will lose!

I'm on day 6 and I've lost 9 so far. I keep going until the 22nd. Had muscle spasms in my legs yesterday. Energy is really varying a lot from day to day. Not sure about my tounge...don't care enough to look at it. My sense of smell has reached epic levels tho..I could smell sliced cheese and crackers from across the house last night. Freaked out my husband.

I'm on day 13 of 14 and I've lost 11.9 pounds. 4-5 shakes and 2-3 veggies or fruits a day.

I don't know how much I lost in total but I had one week of the liquid diet. Before i started the liquid I weigh 248. My last pre surgery appointment was 242. According to scale i weigh 237.

My goal is 125

2 weeks, 13lbs.

10 pounds in three weeks. And after the sleeve that's about my rate too.

Started on Tuesday and i'm now down 15 pounds. So darn tough (refuse to cheat!!!). I have a week left and will keep plugging along

I have the same yucky in my mouth.

I lost 16.4 pounds in the first 6 days of mine. I am on it for about 4 weeks or so. I have to lose 50 pounds before they will do surgery.
