I lost an average of 0.36 pounds per day the first 9 days (2 loading days and 7 VLCDs), 0.66 pounds per day the second week, for an average loss over all of 0.49 pounds per day.

Bill lost an average of 0.38 pounds per day the first 9 days (2 loading days and 7 VLCDs), 0.26 pounds per day the second week, for an average loss over all of 0.33 pounds per day.
