Great job!!! I am 3 weeks and 3 days...can't wait to see 45lbs gone! I have gone to my MD, last week for blood work, check BP etc...I WAS type II diabetic, high blood pressure and high cholesterol...they are all normal! What a great feeling to not have to take 4 pills everyday for all this! I didn't expect them all to diminish sooo quick! Glad they did......keep up the good work and would love to see pics of you! keep in touch

Woo hoo! Congrats on your hard work, it is paying off!
