Hi Mellisa, i am hoping they arrive tomorrow and will start as soon as i get them i am hoping to use them for just under 3 weekjust until my operation and then start a few days after for 4 - 6 weeks. i will be over the moon if i loss 2 stones but to be honest 1 stone would be great bfore the op. Let me know how your are getting on over the next few weeks hopfully we will both do well. the first days are the ones that kill me but i must succeed as i dont want to ever have to loss this amount of weight in my life again x
