It has been 23 days today and I have only bp 3 times in that time period!!!!! I feel like a normal person probably feels about eating. I get full and can stop WOW!

I tried it after I had my older daughter. I lost 40 pounds. I just do not want to have to take something or have surgery. I have to do this myself.

I could no longer afford it. I loved how I felt on it although I could'nt sit dowm! But when I found out I could no longer afford it I made me think that I don't have to spend that much on appetiite control meds. Even though I lost almost 30lbs the first month.It kind of scared me how I reacted when I could no longer afford it. I felt like a "druggy"
