I was in a rush at first to lose weight , but I have finally calmed down. I panicked when the scale went up and down the same 3 lbs or went up a few lbs more than that,but eventually it came back down. That first 10 lbs makes you want to believe it will keep on that way, but it doesnt . Now you will go through a stall probably . I think everyone does. Diet Rites are ok ,just dont drink them all day long. Your main drink for the day should be water.
