hey don't get too discouraged by people's comments, and trust me we all know how harsh they can be. if one more person tells me how bad this woe is i will scream,but then i think about it and realize they are most likely upset about their own weight and unable to help themselves and thus jealous and trying to bring us down. i hope you stick to it and keep coming to the board....it is helpful for motivation. try flax seed for the back up issue(this is the first time in my entire life i have been regular b/c of these seeds)
keep the faith
