K/E Day 11

HI! We are still doing great! You just get into a routine and go with it. I am such a creature of habit, eating the same foods everyday doesnt really both me. I have had a few cravings the last two days, and I just remind myself that it's not worth the pounds I would gain back, let alone undo the hard work that I have done so far.
I am in Ketosis, so that means I have really stinky breath! LOL Hubby too...we tease each other about breathing on each other. But it also means that I am burning up the fat stores my body has. I am down to 215 today. That is 13 pounds in 11 days. I also did my measurements on Tuesday and have lost 4" in a week. WOOT! Hubby is doing just as well, he is down 13 pounds also, and he lost 3 1/2" in a week.
I think doing the detox helped me not fall into the "ketosis crisis" (very similar symptoms as detox crisis, nausea, headache, weakness). DH, however, has been suffering a bit over the last two days. Bad headache, weakness, no appetite and looking a little pale at times. He just keeps his water up and takes it easy.
I went to the Dr. yesterday and got my blood work done. He was thrilled I'm doing something about my weight again. He didnt seem too impressed with the 21 days detox, but he is happy that I have lost 33 pounds since I last saw him. I checked with him, is doing 4-8 gm of carbs a day ok...he said yes, but that I should try to up it to 15-20 once in a while. I asked him is loosing .5 to 2.5 a day ok, he said yes! (of course I have it to loose right now) I asked, is eating 60 - 120 gm of protein a day ok? he said yes, but that he wants blood work on me every 3 months to check thyroid, kidney and lipid levels.
SO...Here I am ... 215, and Dr. approved! yeahhhhh.

Today is going to be a struggle though... I left my eggs at home. I have tuna and ham at work, but I miss my egg salad :(

SO to recap, Since July, Hubby and I have both lost 33lbs YEAHHHHH!!!

ChickeyCola- I'm getting ready to start the MV Diet Detox and wondered- did you buy all your detox stuff through the MV website? Or were you able to find what you needed in a local health store like GNC? If I can get the products locally, it might be less expensive.

Hi luckyme...actually I bought my products from EBAY, book included. It was cheaper then the website. But if you join the google group, there is lots of tips as to where to buy stuff at good prices. http://groups.google.com/group/21-pounds-in-21-days
