Sorry for butting in, but, did you say 17 lbs in 3 weeks?!?!? May I be
really nosy and ask what weight range you are in? Have you been doing
major exercising too? I would love to lose 7 lbs, would be over the MOON
to lose 17!!! Can you explain a bit more what your eating it like? I'm
not a big meat eater, but I think I could eat steak if i got results
like that!! And, I must confess, I just ate a big bowl of really yummy
pralines and cream ice-cream....
take care
luv, Amy
