I never weighed more then 120 and then after 55 this all happened and also when all the pills came into my life.............I have gone around and round with the dr but he says the pills are more important then the weight and I disagree..................hard for me to climb stairs....to walk in the neighborhood...even just to put my socks on!.....I follow the directions and do not cheat..........I stay under 20 carbs a day.....example
