Good work Beth!

A buddy of mine who had some success with this type of diet , would once in a while take two of the liquid shake packets and mix them up and actually bake them in the oven, so it would be like bread. It was still only the shakes but at least there was some texture like the nutrition bars with a crunch, just mixes it up a bit.

In regards to the weight vest, I cannot see how a 10lb vest would hurt you in anyway. Just think its like wearing a back pack with a few bottles of water in it. and the weight of the vest is more even than a backpack.

I am not an MD, but I asked a friend who is in sports medicine and he said as long as your not over doing it, a little extra weight should not be a problem,, and it will speed up your results....
