I honestly was not sure that this was going to work. My friend convinced me to do it with her and I really had no expectations. Boy, was I surprised and delighted! There is nothing like actually losing weight to keep you motivated to lose more! I lost 41 pounds during my first round! Some people say I look like a totally different person! I might look different but what I feel is so important to me. I never thought I would also FEEL different! I have more energy! I crave eating good foods and I feel healthier than I have in a long time! This is one of the very best things you can do for yourself! Thanks, Dr. Bird for all of your service and support.
