Ok, I don't really know what I am talking about, I'm not a doctor or anything. Yet I have lost 3 pounds in one week. I have been drinking so much water, about 6 to 8 big water bottles a day. Drinking a slim fast shake for lunch and breakfast and for dinner a very light salad with no dressing and exercising on a exercise bike, you know those lil' bikes that go nowhere. That is what I have been doing. If you really wanna lose weight talk to your doctor. That is what you need to do. I hope you get the help you need. If you need a weight buddy I am here. E-mail me, my e-mail is lnpchimp@yahoo.com If you need anymore help just read and explore this site.
