OH Juli- thanks so much I have started to feel like a failure...your words meant so much to me! I got went to the gym where I work and the digital scale said 253.2!!! That's better than 260 and less then 256 *which was my weight the day I got my first Fill! So I've lost 3 pounds since 4/16 I'm still losing just not as fast I will focused more on the Protein and Veggies! Will try and drink 4 bottles of Water a day!!! I have to remind myself it's only been 8 weeks........ I called the doctors office for an appointment on next Tuesday to get another fill... Question: What is a "sweet spot"? How will I know if I've hit it?
