Jenni, I am so glad you posted. I was going to ask the exact same question today. Last night, I was starving. No, I didn't eat lunch only drank carnation instant breakfast. I ate 3 pieces of pizza in about 45 minutes for dinner. What on earth happened? I usually can't even get one piece of pizza down. Granted they were small pieces, but still....... Yikes, I am so scared. I thought maybe it was my new meds Neurontin and EffexorXR that I am taking for the newly diagnosed Fibromyalgia. I read through all of the literature and neither have a high incidence of the munchies as a side effect. Help me please. I never want to be fat again. I even had a lady who I had known for about a year and hadn't seen in a couple of months tell me yesterday she didn't know who I was. Talk about a WOW moment. I was so happy and I never want that joy to go away with weight gain. What do we do?????????????? HELP!!!!!!!! KIm M.

Hi Joan, thank you! I know alot of people weigh themselves, it was just a phobia thing for me, but now I am going to weigh myself every two weeks just to keep track off when the weight loss really stops. As far as documenting, I do have a problem with rashes, under my belly and also at the crease of the thighs. I have already gone to my PCP to have him write it down for any future needs. But the plastic surgeon emphasized that documentation is a big necessity. But keep in mind that it doesn't have to be only rashes, it could be boils, bad odors, back pain, etc. The dr showed a bunch of reasons in his slideshow, but I know I have a rash problem because I have such sensitive skin. It's finally working to my benefit. I started at 326 and carried most of my weight in my abdomen so it's where I have the most excess skin. As far as cost goes, I will probably do a payment plan. I have some savings, but I don't want to tap it all out. I also just asked my boss if he would do a loan for me if I need it with a smaller interest rate than the going rate and he is getting back to me on it. I feel very strongly that I want to do this for myself and I will find a way to do it, short of selling my first born male child or a kidney. I hope that answers your question. Take care, Sue PS - and I will post more on my journey as I go along.

I got them last week, but I was ridin' the wave, you know? It happens to me every damn month. But doing 2 shakes a day instead of one is helping. Jenn

OK Who is that woman in the new picture?????? I could not believe it when I saw it!! You look incredible!! Wow...I just went to your profile to make sure there was no other April S and it really was you!! Awesome Girl!!! I am just sitting here shaking my head...this board is incredible...the changes and successes and encouragement...wow...thanks for letting me be a part of it. In His love, Joan M

Thanks, Lizzie. I was shocked that I was still losing. I think now I am getting to a point where the extra weight that I have is going to be the excess skin. Take care, Sue
