Wow - thanks for sharing that Karen - I thought I was the only one! I agree that it is so restrictive that it makes you think more about cheating...which is exactly what I did when I gained that pound! I don't think I will do it again, either -just not worth it. I keep thinking that if I had not done the Medaquick, I would be down a lot more than 1/2 pound this month (so depressing). Sigh. I guess all I can do now it is get back on program and hope that the next 30 days is more rewarding!
