Hi Kelly, Thanks for info. I read through Pounds & Inches about three times, (concentrating on the diet section to the end). I need to actually purchase a digital scale for me and the food LOL. I also wanted to buy the supplies that I can't just fiind at the grocery store ie, liquid stevia (flavored), the breadsticks and some of the beauty products that can be used while on vlcd. Once I get all my supplies i will be ready. I want to lose 30lbs. I really want to go dress hunting soon. I will definitely check ouot the link you posted. How was your first loading day? Good luck and thanks again for te info Kimberly
