Your clothes fit a little better, you can start to see the faint outline of what you think is an "ab" in the mirror, and the cute girl (or guy) at the office even smiled at you.  So you keep watching what you eat and working out.  But things stall.  After another month your clothes still fit only a ...

Anyways, I don't get a lot of refund requests, but they do happen. I understand for the most part and promptly refund things as part of my 100% guarantee, but ...
