I won't say get a grip, but most peoples bodies differ from others. i had to tell keep reminding myself of that. i remember the Dr. explaining to me that I sure not compare my weight loss to that of a person who has had gastric bypass or other types of weight loss surgery. because we all have different body make ups. I say keep doing as you are told and you will see results.it is definitely slow going at first. good luck and keep in touch.
