I wanted to lose 20 pounds for health reasons, and I just couldn't do it. I am a small person, and I had gotten up to 153 pounds "somehow". Over time I managed to lose all but the last 20 pounds and needed help. After 4 weeks, I've lost half of my goal, and I expect to lose the other half this month. Oh, and by the way, one of those weeks, I cheated big time for 3 days and gained 3 pounds back. I got back into gear with my program, and when I went in the next week for my weight check, I weighed exactly what I weighed the week before. I was ecstatic! The counselors here are terrific; they are available to you it seems day and night. They are open 6 days. They answer questions, give advice, and cheer you on. I recommend them highly. If you're on the fence about trying to lose weight on your own, trying one of the many, many diets or pills on the market you've seen or heard about (don't bother, I've already tried them), or going to get some professional help to get a little or a lot of weight off - THIS is your place.
