Thanks for the info!

I had to stop getting the stuff I was using because the company stole about $180 from me! They cashed my check and now say they never got the order and they never cashed my check. I have been wondering what the heck to do!!!!

When you get further out, fish and seafood is the best way to go. Low fat, no carbs, and lots of protein for 2-3 ounce servings. Most seafood have around 20 g protein per serving.

I have tried all types of powders. No matter how well I mix it in, it still tastes like grit to me.

You call your bank, and get a copy of the check. If they don't have a copy of the check, request proof of payment for that check.

With that in hand, you can demand that they give you your product, or refund your money.

If not, its time to see Wapner...yeah....deffinately Wapner.

I know what you are saying there... I used to try all the powedered diets and they taste pastey gritty icky, but I have been reading the labels on fish and it about blew me away!

What about Judge Judy? I think Judge Wapner died. My doc says he is going to help because he insisted that I use that brand. I have already sent a copy of the check to no avail!

Judge Judy is the bomb

my husband said he had a dream about her not to long ago. said he was helping her move, they were packing boxes and he said there was no dialog between them, they just glanced at one another every once in a while, but he said there was no words spoken. lol how weird!
