I AM GLAD YOU ARE TRYING LOSE WEIGHT NOW. DON'T DO LIKE I DID AND WAITED TO LONG BEFORE IT IS TO LATE THEN YOU FIND YOURSELF WEIGHING TO MUCH WHERE GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN BARELY WALK OR GET UP TO GO THE BATHROOM OR IT IS HARD TO TIE YOUR OWN SHOE LET ALONE HARD TO PUT THEM ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. GOOD LUCK.
