hi everyone, i tried the alkins for most of last year with some sucess! got from size 22 to size 18, but i am afriad over christmas i put some back on. I am hopeing by joining a forum i can maybe get some support? I even been looking into a gastric band this morning on the interent, but don't really want to expense or the operation would love to be able to do it on my own. how has everyone else done over christmas? i recon i could have put a stone back on... so hard to keep up the good work!
