Well......Here's what everyone is waiting on...... Dr P. approved me to try again!!! So the personal trainer and low calorie diet I have been on this past month resulted in only 3lb weight loss however, I lost 2 inches in the areas he measured me and toned up so that he could feel my ribs with no problems.

My goal for seeing Dr. P again was 325ish; how will I ever get there... I'm walking the park, and dropping the calories again (tonight I splurged a little with a small frozen pizza and salad with dressing). It tasted so good while I was eating... I needed the comfort food but Tomorrow I'll be back on it; tight, with no cheating. approx 20lbs in 21 days… Continue
