Hey,I used to have the same problem I could never keep a diet for more than 3 days!When I was 184 lbs. I tried some diets and even made up my own but I kept on giving up,and it took me like 2 months to get from 184 to 175.But in the month of september I got very determinated to stay with the diet I started using Slim Fast and since then I've kept the diet till now. I've got my diet for almost 2 months now and have lost 17 more pounds,thats a total of 26 lbs. lost.All you need is determination if you want something get it yourself other people can help you but your mostly on your own.~Good Luck~~*Mel*~
