This was definitely how I felt before staring the LC WOE. My friends all went on various diets and lost 10 or 15 pounds, and there I was on the treadmill three times a week not losing a thing. Wait till you see how glorious it is to stick to an eating plan that really works. I have gone from doubter to believer. Whenever I need encouragement, I just log on to this site and see plain as day that it can be done, and I can do it, too. Good luck to you!
