I do not know if my weight loss has been typical or not.

But it was MY weight loss, and I am very proud of it!

I do not cut back on my eating and I do not have to feel guilty when I do eat.

I can just relax and enjoy life while the my new plumbing design takes care of the weight problem.

And you know what?

There is no weight problem!!!!

In fact I am still loosing weight even now. Not as much as befoe but I am still getting smaller and smaller.
