I stared at that bottle and decided *I* wash bigger than those pills. I started a healthier way of life, ate 2,000 calories a day, exercised more and tried to watch my fats.I did not take the pills. A few months later, and 20 some lbs lighter, my cholesterol was down! I have since lost more weight (40lbs total) and continue to stick close to 2,000 calories and exercise. I have a tablet on my kitchen table and write down everything I eat, everyday. It took that bottle of pills to convince me to change my ways. Yesterday, one year to the date, I flushed those pills! I kept them all this time as a reminder.
I don't know if your weight is a factor, but regardless, living healthy may help. I wish you good luck!
That is so great you were able to do that..you really did change it for your self..
