I lost weight, but as soon as the diet was over I had not learned how to eat right so I gained all the weight back plus some.
Thank you so much for writing me back! That is very nice of you.
I really could use a healthy lifestyles counselor, but first of all, I am poor, albeit not starving, college student and I can't afford one (when I looked for one, they cost $300-500). Two, I would not know how to go...
