SI ordered my kit 1/6/04 after seeing MT on HSN. I had seen parts of the infomercial several times during the weeks before and had started reviewing the Provida website and was quite impressed by a lot of the successes that I was seeing I really want this to be the last time I have to lose weight. I started WW 1/2/02 weighing 292 lb. By July 2001, I was down to 238 and used many excuses for not having to follow my program. I have gained 24 of those pounds back, which I do consider to be great cause I do know what horrible damage it could've been. I had promised myself that I wasn't going to spend any more money on weight loss books, programs, etc. I knew it would be a waste and I didn't want to hear DH yelling "you're throwing away all the money. You're never going to lose that weight." I tried Atkins and South Beach last year and wasn't losing and it was costing a fortune and it threw AF totally out of whack. So, here I am--spending money on the 6WBMO--DH doesn't know about it yet. DH left at 5 am this morning to go to South Carolina for 3 weeks, so it will be a great time for me to start. I even used the remote part of my camera this morning and took my pictures of myself in a bathing suit!! I've never done that before. I?ve been overweight since I was 4 or 5 years old and have tried practically every diet and book that is around and have lost and gained more weight than I could ever begin to imagine. The lowest I have been in my adult life is 190 something pounds?that was 9 yrs ago right before I got pregnant with my oldest son. I had lost almost 60 lb doing protein shakes/500 cal a day. I don?t want to lose weight that way again?it?s not natural. At 45 yrs old, I want to be done with weight loss and want to move onto living. I want to be able to live as a normal-sized, healthy woman
