Holy crap!! My whole leg is a size 4!!!!!!!! Lets hear results from people that were 300 pounds!!!!!!!! Ok, I'm done. Chocolate anyone? :lol:

Those commercials are sickening. If they'd lost that much weight in the time that they say they have they wouldn't be all toned up and firm. Toning takes about again as long if not longer than losing the weight unless you exercise constantly and loose the weight slowly. Besides, on an average height woman 20 is one dress size. There's no way a 28 lb weight loss could result in a 3 size reduction. Use to be that the different people portraying one that had lost weight was obvious now with computer enhancement they can use the same people.

Oh I SO agree with everyone!! Having lost BIG weight three times in my life, I can honestly say that losing the weight (although not easy) is not the hardest part. It's keeping the weight off that is really tough!!!
Don't know if anyone else saw this a couple of years back.... the episode of Oprah where Kirstie Alley did a tap dance in tights to show off her new weight loss? I felt like crying for her because I knew what would happen. Yup, she gained it back. And, for her, all so publicly. Poor woman.
