So its been nearly a week...I went from 222 to 220, and cut my excersize ALOT. Was that a factor? I dont know... this week I am going to yoga mill and do 1/2 hour of "something else" every day and see what happens next Saturday. One thing that I am extremely worried about this time around is major saggage which I can already see around my middle :/ In reading around here (which I have done ALOT of) some start with excersize from the get go....some start towards the end...some dont do any at all....but most have "hinted" that they should or should have incorporated excersize sooner......just my observation of course.....will see how this week goes. And thank you again for all of your comments
