losinandlovin 2 Posted May 2, 2011 Wow, best of luck to you. Sounds like you are ready. You really do need to be prepared and a lot of people do not realize that. You have to mentally be ready to let go of some bad habits from years and years. The tradeoff is so worth it! We are here, ask and we will comment and get you ready. My first advice is always measure NOW. There will be times when you do not feel like you are losing and you need to keep up wiht what your measurements are. It will be a huge help in the future. Trust me. Do it now and then every month on the same day, but onloy once a month! I kept a log and it wa awesome to have. Second DO EXACTLY WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS, do not cheat, do not fudge, do not try stuff unless the doctor tells you. They know what they are doing and it is what you pay them for so listen and follow. I promise nothing taste as good as your health feels. You will see! So let us hear back from you soon. Best of luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
