Hello out there, THERE IS HOPE!! I've been using this ap since July 18, 2016 and have lost 8 lbs. I find that it helps me be accountable for every morsel that goes in my mouth. I'm a now retired after my 41 year career as a hairdresser. My tipical day was 9 - 12 hours /6 days wk standing on cement floors, 5 cups of coffe, eating any cold foods I could shove in my mouth and skipping meals, and having rich dinners I thought I deserved... Long story short, I was going in for a shoulder rotator cuff replacement and to my surprise-the Cardiologist performing my stress test clearance infomed me that I had 2 clogged arteries and needed 2 stents put in....WHAT???? OMG....So after an evening of my pitty party eating my favorite comfort foods...
NEXT DAY: I woke up bloated, sluggish and depressed. What have I done to myself?
I emediantly went to u-tube and watched every video on heart deaseas, blocked arteries and eating healthy to loose weight. I fair toward Dr. Wallach's methods, "dead doctors don't lie". So, I made out a grocery list and went grocery shopping for Omega 3 rich foods, I cut out all of my Dairy products, and visited the Vitiman shop, increased my water intake and moderate exersizes. To my surprise my stomach went down and I lost 4 inches on my waist and lost 8 lbs in 7 days. My entire body, mind and spirit feels good. I am NOT HUNGRY like I used to be. As a matter a fact, I'm having trouble eating my daily 1200 caloric intake. The best thing that's happened is that I dont have to fight my fat gut to roll out of bed. My Hope is to adopt this change as a life time way of life. To loose 50 lbs while turning my health around. And to either un-clog my arteries in the process and/or keep eating healthy to NOT create the a same problem after having the stents put in. This was certainly a WAKE UP CALL!

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONNECTING A SUPPORT GROUP AND TRADING INFORMATION.
