Thanks for your thoughts everyone! I haven't heard anyone say they've kept the wieght off. My friend really shouldn't be spending the money because she has to stay home with a child with Rett's syndrome and doesn't work. You hate to knock a person's diet when they're losing.

I have a feeling weight loss is going to be slow for me. I've only lost a pound during the first week. When I was in college and got up to 158. I made up my own diet and easily lost the weight. It just seems harder as you get older.-R.M.
