hiya all, my name is Amanda and I have been viewing your website and reading your posts for a few months! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Reading everything you've posted~The Good and The Bad~has made it much easier in making a very important choice in my life.

I have been to the seminar, and on wednesday I have my first consult and I am thrilled to be on this journey.

I'm like most..have done loads of diets. WITH success but always hit a plateau and dropped off and gained back.

I am ready! So now it is time to hurry up and wait!

I'll have lots of questions...so thanks in advance!:smile2:

Hi Amanda, and welcome! I wish you much success on your journey, and please feel free to ask any questions that come to mind.
