Lost 3 lbs first week
In 11 days I have lost 5 lbs
5 Pounds gone as of this morning!
This program is very easy and simple to follow unlike many others. I am pleased
with the results thus far. My favorite part is the fact that you can eat the foods
you love and still lose weight just by making minor adjustments. It truly is about
style and changing habits that make a difference...invest in yourself...try this
program it is so worth it and you won't be disappointed!!! I have lost 6 pounds
and it has only motivated me to lose more!!!
4 weeks in and have lost 7.25 inches! Woohoo
Just started week six and have finally got below 200 lbs. I used to be a naturally slim
person until I started going to lunch with friends and it almost became a
competition. It is so nice to be enjoying my food again. I have gone from 224 lbs. 199 lbs.
have lost 9 pounds so far
I have lost 6 lbs and am eating when hungry and more slowly.
I am learning a lot of valuable things using this program!
