I am fallowing all on the eating and I'm walking 3 times a week or more.. has anyone been through this and if so how did it turn out? I have 15 days to lose 15 pounds anyone have any ideals how I can do this? Please help

Keep doing what your doing but completely cut out carbs. You can do it for 15 days, it might be tough but think of the reason and stay strong. Use sugar free icepops and sugar free jello to curb your appetite if you get really hungry and LOTS of water. If you need help or encouragement just ask here and you'll get it for sure. Good luck you got this!!

Don't worry about what you can't control. Odds are they won't deny you for weight gain due to quitting smoking. It's a side effect that's pretty much a guarantee. Cut all added sugars, cut all extra carbs (every veggie has carbs, avoid bread really) Start drinking ONLY water and get in upwards of 128oz a day. All of this will help you shed weight. But, stress makes you gain, so... stop stressing! If they deny, you can appeal. But until they do actually deny you... worrying about it is just a waste of energy.

Thank you and I will stop stressing about it n start working on me and where I want to be.. I do have to say I feel so much better since I quit smoking so it was worth the gain if you know what I mean..
