Q: Can I safely lose 8 pounds in 11 days?

I'm 70 years old . I burn off 400 calories per day exercising.  I eat a normal diet, but no desserts and very few snacks.  I've dropped from 169 pounds to 161 in 11 days, and I feel great.  Still, it seems almost unreal that I could lose that much weight in so short a time.  Any thoughts?
