Ok here is my thing stress kills everything including losing weight.. last month I was under so much stress I really thought I was done.. it wasnt a depressed thing it was a run away and hide thing. It had nothing to do with weight loss, it had to do with life in general. I upped my exercise to 2 miles of walking a day and slepted more and told people what I thought instead of holding back. I feel better today and when I left the drs office I knew that I could do anything I set my mind too. I lost 3 inches around my middle sections. I am 42 abs 46 inches waist and 42 on my hips. I have a very large hernia in my middle which counts for 46 inches.. some days those extra inches make me feel fatter but I have to remember that 4 to 6 inches will come off next year once I have surgery. Thanks
