    Hi. Just a bit of encouragement. I also have a lot of weight to lose. I have been at it since January, serious since May. Exercise along with the 17-day diet has helped me lose 51 pounds in a short time. Be persistent and you will achieve your goals...

    I am a diabetic. I have lost over 40 pounds before, but when I got hurt at work i gained my weight back and since then it has been hard for me to loose the weight again. I have lots of medical problems, but I am working on loosing all my weight again, I need all the support that I can get.
