Hi there, you picked an excellent forum to join. There is a ton on information here and LOTS of support. I also have never heard of the program you are following. If you put your mind into it 100% you can do whatever it is you are seeking. You have to be in the right mindset, and once you make that commitment you will be able to start your journey. No matter what has happened in the past, today is a fresh start, good luck to you in your journey. I have 88lbs gone with about that much left to go to reach my goal. I take it one day, one lb at a time. YOU CAN DO THIS ALSO!
