I ask the questions because I am a health practitioner and it gives me a better idea of the outcomes that can be achieved in various timeframes.

I can't understand the doctor prescribing duromine as you are hardly that big to start off with.

You have an exercise program and if you eat sensible, you should be able to drop 3 to 4 kilos by Xmas.

I recommend Dr Joshi's Holistic Detox to my clients - it is sensible and effective. We drop 2 to 3 kilos in 10 days.

However, I would like to ask you this. If yougained 2 kilos and dropped a dress size, would you be happy with that?

Most people are so focussed on the numbers on the scale, they lose sight of how they look - it is how you look and feel that is important - not the numbers on the scale.

Just something to think about.
