Hi,
My name is Debra and I am a mother of two, wife and chiropractor. I am 55 years old and over the years i just kept gaining weight no matter how hard I tried not to do so. I started my present career this past year after 4 years of grueling school, where I gained 25 lbs. from sheer stress. Now that is over and I have my own practice I need to lose 50 lbs. I feel real hypocritical when I counsel a patient on their weight and I'm fifty pounds overweight. I started on the 3rd of January and so far I lost six pounds and 2 1/2 inches. I am modeling my diet after the Venus weight loss system. Is anyone out there on this plan?

    Haven't heard of that weight loss plan, but STANDING OVATION for going through such a grueling program and starting a new career in your 50s. If you can get through that, you can accomplish getting those 50 pounds off, for sure! Especially since now you'll be on your feet more!
