  22. Ughhh rrrrr I'm in the 6 month program, I have 3 more to go. I lost 6 pounds, next I gain 3 pounds & feel heavier this month. Need to loose @ least 3-4 pounds for January. It's hard I'm only 40.5 BMI in order for insurance to approved I have to be 40 or more on BMI. No medical problems but I had the lap band for 7 yrs. Hope insurance approves me.
  23. When you start loosing weight yor vitamins & immune system gets low that's why you need to get lab test every so often & this is the reason we get cold. I was very low on vitamin D since I started taking it I feel much better & don't get sick that much as before.
  24. Congrats happy for you! Keep it up
