Answer
Dear Shane, Your body will lose weight all over, not just in the top or bottom. To lose 100 pounds you are looking at least a year of commitment. Watch what you eat and exercise everyday. Try a mile and 1/2 on the treadmill, or just get out and walk for at least thirty minutes per day. Try to eat 1500-1800 calories per day. Keep track of what you eat and write down your calories. It takes time and work on your part, but if you want it bad enough you will do it. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
