I am eating better and also no sugar- and was cardio on my bike 4 x's this past week for 40 minutes each time--and walked my dog 2x's a day for at least 20-30 minutes each time-- including a speed walking cardio and some hand weights---AND MY SHORTS ARE SNUG! TIGHT! and I did not put them in the dryer either! I feel like I am getting BIGGER! I want to get smaller! I started with 1 unit in the am then went to .5 since I read so many of you say start slow------ANY REASON my PANTS are TIGHTER???? please!!!
