Hi shelly, I was on the same diet too! it really worked for me. i used to be 210 pounds... now after about um.. 4 months now i think i have lost 45 pounds and i feel great! dont let the soup stuff put you down.. it sort of tastes ok if you drink it very fast. i myself drink 1 bowl of the stuff every morning as my breakfsat then i usually have a low fat musli bar at school, and a salad for dinner. if you want help or anything just e-mail me (leoleonard@hotmail.com) Take care *hugz* leo :p
