  2. vicki, it took me a long time to get onderland. last year hoffman told me by summer id be in onderland...i wasnt...then he said by sept...then i wasnt...then he told me by the first of the year....then i wasnt...then he said by spring and i still wasnt...and finally this september i finally hit it....so it wasnteasy. hat happened to me as the first month after surgery i lost 24 lbs then after that it slowed way down...so it has taken me longer than others. it has taken me about 20 months to lose about 60lbs...hich doesnt seem like a lot but for me it is...prior i had a heard time losing 5 lbs...so ill take this anytime
