"update to my weight loss experience, i&#039;m 51, 5&#039;5&quot; female, 3 kids, started qysmia 9/9/13 at 198 lbs.  this morning, nov. 7, i weighed in at 173 lbs. lost 25 lbs in 2 months!   eating 1200 calories a day, drinking lots of diet tea.  still have occasional tingling in toes, but thats it.  weight loss is about a pound a week but thats probably the healthiest way to go and i&#039;m not feeling hungry or deprived.  i eat what i want, just less, but drink a big glass of tea before eating!  cost - yes expensive - but you&#039;re cutting back calories so it is the cost of one big mac meal or its equal.  i&#039;m very happy with my results!!!"
