Thank you for all your wonderful responses! I know I'm probably doing the wrong thing- but I have been on gold since yesterday. I am also very active--work out 6 days a week (both strength and cardio) between about 8-10 hours a week. And on the positive side (although I weigh more than my ticker- because in all honesty, I have fudged a bit because of law school stress and wedding stress..
I have been able to get down to a 10 in some things, and medium in others. I know, I know, for 180 pounds on a 5'5 frame I should be ecstatic, but I want to see the 120's....sigh..it probably won't happen
But, good luck Lettie- what do they say...weight loss is an experiment..I've been trying to look at it like that. So I'm "experimenting" with gold until I can get down to 165 and go back to my center (i'm on hold for now with my plan). Thanks again for all of your insights, ladies
