dnorthrup- it seems anyone claiming to lose 8 pounds in 7 days cannot possibly only be eating regular food. what's the catch? were you on a 7 day workout with lots of support? plus, we all know that losing weight that fast doesn't happen or at least doesn't stay off. basically, your post is not very believable without more details to back it up. good luck.

Take Shape for Life!! Medifast Meals ... costs about 285 a month for the meal replacements and then you supply one lean and green meal a day. Total grocery bill is usually less than what I spent before we decided to get healthy! I have lost 57 pounds in 17 weeks and my husband has lost 80!! The food tastes good (LOVE the Smores bars) and the weight falls off which gives you incentive to stay on the program. Visit www.skinnygary.tsfl.com

Weight loss can be achieved free of cost provided you have enough of self control in controlling your eating.!! No input, no output, simple.
