I am fifty-seven years old and morbidly obese. I have lost sixteen pounds in ten days. The first day, I had the mother of all headaches. Second day, only a moderate headache. Third day, I woke up with no headache, and the almost-constant pain in my lower legs was gone. Fourth day, I was able to put on running shoes for the first time in four months. By the eighth day, I wore regular shoes to church for the first time in over a year.
