  • I'm 8 months out and down 52 pounds. Have about 25-35 more to go I think, but I'm building muscle at the same time as losing fat, so weight loss is very odd for me... Welcome! You're going to love your sleeve!

  • premier protein shakes. All you want (I usually have 3) during the day, and then eat a healthful dinner around 6pm, protein and produce only. water only to drink. tons of water. Do this for 2 weeks and you'll lose 10-15 I promise!

  • I have my daughter (17) and son (6) full time for the last 4.5 years. My ex takes my son one night a week and maybe a half day each weekend once or twice a month. My daughter refuses to go with him often, maybe a half day once a month or twice tops. If it wasn't for my mom, we would be homeless. I work full time, have a…
