Hi, I stepped on the scale and it smiled at me I swear, it did! Or maybe that was just my reflection? I'm down TWELVE pounds since (the 1st week of June) when I ordered my NS food and 1 1/2 pounds since my weigh in last Saturday. I wish it would fall off faster but considering I don't exercise, except for bowling, I'm doing pretty well. Afterall, I didn't gain it in a month. I'm happy with the program but still need to talk to the counselor about irregularity. I tookd something to help me out. I don't ever use that stuff but I'm downright uncomfortable and bloated. By looking at my tummy you'd never know I've lost 12 pounds. Anyone else having the problem? I know that's a pretty personal question...what the heck it can't hurt to ask, right?
