Hi, Pumkiepoo!
You will survive and you'll be all the thinner for it, too! How about those two newbies there - both down over 20 pounds their first month and Jan is down over 40 pounds - Yippy! This stuff rocks!

energy! You'll get all your housework done and have time to check out the clothes in your closet that will soon fit!
