bubbles don't sweat the small stuff.... those people are maybe jealous because they feel the losing weight will be easyier for you.... everyone is different i did weight watchers with my wife and stuck to it... didn't lose as much as i did with atkins. stoped atkins huge rebound.... i plan on use a combo of lapband and atkins. i will call it lapkins.... anyways all you need to do whats good for you. only care about how you feel about yourself and screw the rest of them don't take negative in cause thats what you will put out... stay positive and keep that picture of what you will look like thin in your mind and in no time you will be that hot babe... good luck
