    I've been using it for nearly three weeks and love it. I share it with EVERYONE I know. I've been playing the yo-yo weight game my entire life. I am now looking at things differently, I am NOT ON A DIET as I have found out by experience that diets don't work. I am exercising more, eating less and eating better. But don't get me wrong, I still indulge in a burger or pizza and I will never fully cut that from my life. Feel free to add me, I am on MFP all the time between my phone and laptop (I think facebook is missing me LOL). So far I've lost 7lbs in two weeks so what I am doing now must be working for me.
