Hi everyone, I'm new too. Arlene, what is,ACV? I agree with everything she said, cut out sugar & all processed foods. Read labels! That's really important. Lots of fruits, veggies and high quality protein. It's not a quick process and it IS a lifestyle change. I live in chronic pain from several dehabilitating diseases and I started with walking and water aerobics at my local YMCA. Can't say enough good stuff about the pool stuff. I swear by it, but its a slow process. Good luck.
