I LOST 96 POUNDS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS BUT IT WAS A SLOW PROCESSe but I KEPT IT OFF. Sorry, didnt know that the caps were on. I was on the Special k diet. It really works. I am now on a 1000 calories a day for the final 60 pounds. You have alot less weight to lose than I. Please give the special K diet a try. It is very easy to follow. You can lose 2-3 pounds per week. Good luck! If I could of afforded it I would of tried Jenny Craig. I did try nutrisystem ut it was a no go for me. Good luck!
