Weight loss

I've been doing a variation on Protein Power diet for the last 8 days, which means one normal meal (meat or seafood and veg) and 2-3 protein skakes (with two tblsp of cream, maybe an egg, sometimes some oat bran) per day...and a coffee or two. Aiming for some fast weight loss. I'm resisting standing on the scales as small results can be disappointing and so will wait for a week. Aiming to lose fat around belly. So far it's been pretty easy as it's easier having no choice but protein shakes compared with trying to have 3 meals of real food and keeping the meals small. Still training hard though. Tonight Bench (531 week 2 with Boring but Big assistance). I'll start posting numbers. Have started doing squats with smith machine: not great but better than nothing.
