  • I am on day 5 of Level 2. I took my measurements right before I started and will re-take them at the end of 30days. I have gained 2 lbs since I started but I can tell a HUGE difference in the way my clothes are fitting me. I can get into my 14's now that and they are loose. I couldn't wear them because they were to tight.…
