I started my journey in Sept when I went to the Dr for my yearly checkup. I hit my highest weight and knew I had to do something. I went to a seminar the 2nd week of Sept, then went through my phsch consult and nutritionist. I had everything done by the 4th week.
I also went on a low fat diet as of Sept 7 and have lost 52 lbs on my own. But, I want to keep it off and I know how easy it is to gain it all back.
It's Jan, 2008 and I'm still waiting for ins approval. Hopefully, it will come soon!!
