Taken 2-12-01, minus 32.5 lbs, after being on the woe/wol since 1-19-01. I've had a couple of slips in the beginning, but it has become much easier now and I never want to go back to feeling physiclly and mentally like I did before beginning this wol. I had given up all hope of ever being successful, but I know now that this works and I will become healthier, one day, on step and one pound at a time. Sammie
