Don't buy everything you read about. I never wore my $30 abdominal binder, I have enough jello to last a lifetime (still haven't eaten the first bite) and really, how many water bottles does one person need?

- Don't believe everything you read here on OH.....some Sketchy Info goin around !!!!

- GET MEDICAL ADVICE FROM A DOCTOR........NOT A ONLINE PUBLIC FORUM (I know this is redundant..... but probably the most less than smart things that are asked)

-Bodies are different, so dont expect to lose the same amount of weight in the same timeframe as someone else. Even if you searched and searched to find an OH member with your stats.
