Dr Christian De Bruyne

i know what you mean about the husband and kids we went out shopping last sunday but i came home with nothing and he can home with pants shirts coat and kids also got something but i think he could see the disappointment on my face which has finally made him realise slighlty how serious i am about this, i have been fighting with my weight since i was about 14 so i think 12 years of yoyo dieting is enough now i have just come off the lipotrim diet which in 6 weeks i lost 33lb i felt great but i came off it for whatever reason and have managed to put on 15lb in 7 weeks so my bmi now is 40 so i just cant wait now to be me agian i dont want to be stick thin just a size 14 would be great i remember being so happy when i was that size and i was that size when i met my patner :) oh the good old days

Size 14, that would be great, walking into a shop and you know the clothes will fit you Hi gillian, av u ad email from bridget? she sent me 1 earlier 2day bwt pre and post op diet mmm cant wait lol, the things we do 2 get slim... 7 wks 2moro we will b there and 7wks fri we will b banded, OMG its giong so quick x
