in Success Stories
Well after just 3 1/2 months and 35 pounds, I took the plunge and sat for the camera. I am rather pleased with the results. I am down three pants sizes , from barely squeezing uncomfortably into a size 16, to now have a few new wardrobe additions that are a size 10. I have about 9 more pounds to go. That should make me a comfortable size 10. Then the real work begins. Firming up whats left. If I can accomplish this , then I truely believe that anybody can do this. Just trust in yourself, You are worth it.
