When I signed up, they said I was the "perfect candidate". Not overweight, mid-sized "pooch" for a belly, exercise regularly, ate right. All I had to do was drink more water and wear compression garments. It supposedly isn't meant for overweight people. I am 49 yr old, 5' 5", 129 lb, size 6, but can fit into a size 4 without pooch. All of my waistbands dig into me because of my extended belly...
