I initially lost 20 lbs and gained back 15!! I have not been happy with the outcome. I can eat pretty much ANYTHING I want and that is what is disturbing. It seems I have LESS self control now than before...almost like i am waiting for it to work! I wasnt mislead, I knew it was a tool, problem is ME! I need to get on track and really think about what I am putting in my mouth.....I need to stop avoiding my doc.....its been a year since ive seen him. I have pretty much given up on this thing.....HELP!
