Jamie, Dont get discouraged!! Do you drink alot of water???? I go above and beyond the 8-8oz. I really feel this has played a big role in my success!! Keep that system flushed Keep a bottle of water with you at all times. It has really helped with hunger, tremendously!! Not that your takin into much! And, I do try to stop eating after 6 or 7p.m. everynight. Good Luck!! Just a few more tips, I dont know whether you exercise, but this may help kick your metabolism into gear!! It helped my dad? And I ONLY eat enough to satisfy!!, i try not to indulge because "i am aloud to" ha ha. Good Luck. Keep me posted!
