hi everyone. this is my first post. sleeved on july 2 2012. i' ve lost 16 lbs. so far and i m doing great. I' m finally getting more energy and starting to get excited about my life again and all my new possibilities, i ve started eating some protein now per my NUTS advise, but to be honest, for me, the thrill is gone. you know how LA. folks love to eat , so eating now is pretty boring. the whole experience is more like a chore. I guess there more to life than food anyway,lol.
