Oh, this makes me sad. Pills don't make you lose weight. Eating at a calorie deficit makes you lose weight. Are you going to take pills for the rest of your life? What happens when you stop taking the pills and you haven't learned to control the eating that made you overweight in the first place?

What makes me sad is judgmental comments like this. We simply have no idea what others struggle with, what works for one, may not work for another. These kinds of comments are not helpful.

I totally agree with you. mccindy72 is a total B-word.

I find the program an excellent way to stay on track. The comments that I feel do not apply to me I still learn from. I have received encouraging comments that can help if I would just follow them. I have nothing but praise for this program. I have modified when I weigh during the day because I have found that I weigh less about two -three hours after I get up. If I become constipated I weigh more and I understand this. Once I remove that blocking point I can weigh and have lost again. All in all I am satisfied with the program and am happy to have been prescribed it by my doctor. After 4-5 months I have lost a solid 22 lbs. I am older and the weight doesn't come off as fast as it once did, I don't exercise as often as when I was younger but can still exercise some. I walk and do stretches as often as I feel like it. I have a winding staircase and I try to walk the stairs at lease 5 times a day. Try not to take things so personal that it makes you lose sight of your goal. When I really read deep into the feedback I can always find inspiration. Good luck on your journey to weight loss. I feel better and have more energy than I have had in a long time.
