medic2752 says "THIS PILL WORKS!!!" about Phentermine Diet Pill

medic2752 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:03:33 GMT

How many of you can say you are busy? If there is anyone here who can say you are not busy, please let me know how you do it. I am a busy mom to 9 year old triplets and I have to tell you I found it very difficult to lose any weight at all. I went to the gym, excercised daily and ate right but, NOTHING. Then, I started with Phenteramine. Let me tell you I have lost 40 pounds over the past 5 months. I had back pain, knee pain and was generally struggling just to get through the day at work as a paramedic climbing stairs and treating patients was becoming very difficult. But now, I have more energy, am able to play with my kids and function better at work. The weight just began to fall off like it was nothing. I have to say there were alot of side effects for the first few weeks but after you get through the few first weeks, you find yourself with more energy and the side effects are very minimal. I whole heartedly recommend this medication if you are trying to lose weight....

iamaslacker says "this product should get the boot!" about Dtox Patch Detoxing Foot Patch

iamaslacker — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:04:08 GMT

Dtox Patch Detoxing Foot Patch sounded too good to be true when I first reads or heard about it. I should have gone with my gut reaction. I found this product to do little more than make my feet feel sticky and itchy. I paid almost $8.00 for the product (it probably would have been cheaper at Walmart, but I purchased mine at Walgreen's. The instructions were easy enough to follow; the product just didn't seem to have the "power" it claimed to have to pull any type of toxins from my body. After keeping it on for the prescribed time, there was little dirt or toxins on the patch itself. In truth, I get more dirt on a washcloth than I did on this foot patch. (and trust me, I am certain that my body is not at all toxin free, so the patches certainly should have pulled something from my body) I have never used such a product before, and would probably hesitate to even try a different brand. This product should get the boot!

BAMAKRIS says "Weight Watchers is a lifestyle, not just a diet." about Weight Watchers

BAMAKRIS — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:14:07 GMT

I tried Weight Watchers for the first time five years ago. I successfully lost forty pounds. I kept it off for over two years. It is more of a lifestyle change than a diet. It allows you to eat whatever you want, but in moderate portions. It teaches you to make healthier choices and how to learn portion control. Like any other way of eating, it only works when you stick to it. Over the last couple of years, I have gained weight due to going back to my old eating habits. I have since started the program again and am down nine pounds so far. I highly recommend this weight loss program for anyone. It is also great for heart patients and diabetic-friendly as well.

sharoncookie says "I REMEMBER THE OLD ONE'S" about Adipex Appetite Control Pills

sharoncookie — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:28:02 GMT

ADIPEX APPETITE CONTROL PILLS Sound's like the old one's. When I was a young women, they used to give you diet pill and had real diet doctor's. We thought we were alright going to one of these doctors and if you were a little over weight, asking the doctor for some help. I took them at different time in my early life and had no problen untill you gained it all back and more. After awhile you would try yourself to lose and couldn't so back to the doctors. Well!!! after you first took the pill for about 3 day's, I cleaned everything in my house and everything was spotless. I would wash the car, clean the basement and clean out the garage,pool and mow the lawn. So I got the brainey idea that I would get some every fall house cleaning time and also spring cleaning. That only lasted a couple of years as when you stopped you were not worth anything. All I could do for a few day's is make the bed, dishes, supper. I have never been so tired. Now! I find there are worth...

vballsprinter5 says "Quick and efficient workout for women!" about Curves Fitness Center for Women

vballsprinter5 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:17:56 GMT

I never thought that this fitness center could get me so excited about being healthy! I definitely encourage anyone who needs that little extra motivation to go workout to check into your local Curves. There are many unique qualities that help motivate members to remain healthy. Convenient hours will allow you to get in your 30 minute work out during a time that is convenient for you! It is wonderful to work out with other women on machines that really emphasize muscle groups that are problem areas for women. You gt not only an overall body strengthening workout, but it also helps boost your cardiovascular endurance as you are working even when you are not on the machines. Once you are a member, you can visit any Curves location across the United States, so it is convenient if you are on vacation or out of town for business. The price cannot be beat, and it is a wonderful service that if you take advantage of it, you will definitely see the results!

CallieN says "It helps me workout but i felt weird" about Hydroxycut

CallieN — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:35:21 GMT

I used hydroxycut awhile back in an effort to lose weight and get myself to workout on a regular basis because I was having trouble with energy and motivation. it definitely gets me motivated to workout because of the caffeine but I felt jittery all day long and tended to get a little emotional every evening when it was wearing off. I had trouble sleeping for the first few weeks and I would get worn out in the evenings after the high of the caffeine had worn out. I did manage to work out a lot and get in better shape but if you stop taking it you are very hungry and its hard to keep up the previous schedule because you get very tired with the caffeine withdrawal. I guess it depends on what you are willing to deal with in order to get in shape. Personally, I think there are better ways to do it but I cannot dispute the fact that the caffiene makes me feel less hungry and more motivated.

CallieN says "I love this stuff and will use it always!" about IsaGenix Cleanse Diet Drink

CallieN — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:23:27 GMT

I love Isagenix so much! I am not the kind of person who is usually thinks a product is amazing, but this is something I will use for the rest of my life. WHen I use Isagenix I feel so vibrant and alive, my skin glows, I don't have the same cravings for sugar and starches, and I just feel energetic! I also have never seen myself shrink as quickly as when I use the 9day cleanse by Isagenix. I lost inches very quickly off my hips and waist. It was so nice to get into my new clothes very quickly. I hear a lot of people complain about the cost, but if you factor in that you are replacing two meals a day on their weight loss program, it is very inexpensive. I also feel motivated to actually workout because I feel in control of myself and my appetite. The extra energy makes me want to push myself and workout hard. I have had my mom try this and she also lost weight and felt better. Try it!

sueti says "Don't waste your money" about Sensa Weight Loss System

sueti — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:20:51 GMT

I researched this product before ordering and it sounded like it just might work. The user is supplied with 2 containers 1 labled salty and 1 labled sweet. Thenuser is instructed to liberally sprinkle the white powder on all eaten food. The scent of the powder which actually has no taste is supposed to deter the user from overeating by signalling the brain. I used exactly as directed and thought I may have been eating less the first three or four days on the program. At the end of two weeks, no weight loss. In defense of the product it is clearly stated that the user must be patient and give it time to let the product work. I was not willing to invest any more time or oney in this product as I think two weeks is a fair enough trial. In addition I have two other firends who have tried the product and neither were impressed. One froiend used the product for six weeks exactly as directed and lost a total of 3 pounds. The other gave up after four days.

jjfulle says "Don't take these if you don't want the shakes." about Hydroxycut Appuloss

jjfulle — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:10:23 GMT

These pills have not worked for me, other than to give me the shakes. I tried a new pill to see how I'd feel afterwords. It wasn't that I had more energy as much as I had nervous energy, my hands shook, and I could not think straight. To take 3-4 of these a day would probably kill me. 1 was too many. There is extremely too much caffeine in the pills, and I don't recommend them for anyone who would have high blood pressure. DO NOT TAKE with coffee or caffeine.

Many diet pills have worked, but these are to be taken at least one hour before a meal! I can honestly say I didn't want to eat as much on these pills, probably because I was shaky. They are easy to swallow, come in a little plastic covering, and have tiny red and yellow "seeds" in the capsule.

The pills are impossible to get out of the packaging. Normally someone can pop the pills right out, but these are child and adult proof. I had to use a knife to get each pill out, and then sometimes the knife stabbed the pill, breaking it open....

bratwoman says "Lose it the RIGHT way!!!" about Phentermine Diet Pill

bratwoman — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:24:30 GMT

I've been on Phentermine now for about 2 1/2 months now. And I'm losing for the first time in almost 15 years. 15 years ago, I have my last child, she was 11 years younger from my youngest of 3 already. As I didn't gain alot of weight during the pregnancy, for some reason I started gaining after she was born. I was at a point that I lost about 15 pounds when she was about 10 years old, but blood pressure/Hypertension create another problem, I couldn't take blood pressure meds, I gain all the weight back and more. I was having a reaction to the meds...big sigh!...so for another two years it was use this diet supplement, do this diet, try this and try that, way to much money spent let me tell you. Then it happened, I was diagnoised with Breast Cancer...I was at my highest weight at the time. I start the Chemo, and the weight went up and up, Radiation and up again, and when the homone Therapy started zoom the arrow went. to a point of 230 pounds a 70 weight gain. It was...

akjane says "Puts you on the right track" about Slimquick Cleanse

akjane — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:23:08 GMT

I have done the slimquick cleanse twice. I had great results the first time, felt great, lost 5 pounds in a week and many inches. The second time I lost not quite as much .. but I might have strayed a little from the diet a little. I feel like the diet you are given is the true strength of the cleanse. A friend of mine did the same diet, but did not take the pills. She got about the same results. So in the future, I think I might just buck up and do the diet again. It is a great jump-start to your weight loss and especially good if you are looking to slim down in a week for something special, like a trip or event. The diet wasn't too hard to follow and wasn't that expenive either. It did take a litle more time than usual to prepare, but nothing more than usual when I am following a meal plan. And most of the menus were easy to modify for the rest of my family too. You should buy a bag of lemons from costco, though, you use a lot!

muwhobbit says "Dtox patch doesn't live up to its claims" about Dtox Patch Detoxing Foot Patch

muwhobbit — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:11:58 GMT

I got some Dtox foot patches as a gift. I wish my friend hadn't spent the money on them! They're hyped as some cleansing product that will give you more energy and improve sore joints. It's total rubbish. I'm a skeptic, but I figured I'd give them a go. I put a set on my feet before I went to sleep. When I woke up, there was clearly some nasty stuff on the patch, but I didn't feel any different, except my feet felt pruny from having the patches on them all night.

It turns out I'd also accidentally left another patch on the counter in the bathroom overnight, and it had the same greenish color as the worn patches! I can only guess that the moisture in the air from my husband's morning shower reacted with something in the patch. I'm calling this a hoax - if any old moisture will turn the patch green, and I don't feel any better after having worn these things, I'm pretty sure it's just a cheap color-changing trick to make you think you're getting something for your money. I won't be spending...

MommyYork4 says "Great taste BUT big waste!" about Wulong Tea for Weight Loss

MommyYork4 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:42:23 GMT

I tried this tea when it first came out because it was "as seem on Oprah" but I must say at $60 a bag....it was a huge waste of money. I bought two bags off a WuLong website claiming to be the best. The tea has a great taste and if you're not a coffee drinker it'll wake you up. But most of the time the caffine in it made my stomach hurt and oh yeah....weight loss....not a chance! I drank the tea for months (maybe even a year+) and it did not help with weight loss at all. I was very disappointed need less to say. The website gave SO much positive information about the product but it just didn't hold up. The stomach pains from drinking it caused me to not be able to drink it every day. If you are interested in trying it, the prices are better at a specialty tea store. It's more then 50% savings and I'm sure you will get the same amount as I did. If you decide to try it don't get your hopes up. Just enjoy the flavor!

extramom2000 says "move away from the table." about Weight Loss Diets (All Types)

extramom2000 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:03:03 GMT

After trying to lose weight for the last thirty years, I have found that the best way is to get away from the kitchen table. I started by eating smaller portions, and not going back for seconds. That helped, so I added parking a little farther from the store, and having to take even a few more steps a day also helps. I can,t say that I do not eat the occasional piece of chocolate, or that I eat everything that is healthy for me, but I find myself eating more fruits and vegatables , than I used to. The last time I went to my doctor, she said that I lost 10 pounds. That was in a months time. I feel alot better, and my clothes fit a little looser, so I will try to keep up the good work. I have tried to do several diets, and not one of them worked for me. There are so many different things on todays market, I wouldn,t know what to try, if I wanted to, so I guess that I am going to stick to what works for me.

NghtSkyyStarz says "The hardest part is maintenance!" about Weight Watchers

NghtSkyyStarz — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:41:34 GMT

I think the hardest part of this program isn't shedding the pounds, or trying to pick out a new wardrobe... but staying committed once you get to where you want to be. It's hard to stay focused when you are the size you want to be. I think that WW could do a better job of supporting their lifetimers. The system is set up great for people that are looking to lose, but once you get down to your goal a lot of the tools they have created don't necessarily apply to you anymore which is why I think a lot of people fall off and have to come back. For all the revenue they are bringing in, working better with restaurants would be ideal for me because I often don't have time to plan and make a meal.

AngiBowman says "Change Your Life with WW" about Weight Watchers

AngiBowman — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:12:29 GMT

I know what it's like to be the "big" girl. You know, the one with the pretty face and nothing else. If you can relate, it's okay! Weight Watchers is here to help.

What Is It?

Weight Watchers (WW) is a "diet" program that encourages lifestyle changes and attitude changse. No, diets don't work. No, this isn't a quick fix. However, it works. If you stick with this program, it's going to work.

How It Works

Everything you eat has a point value to it. You are given a point value, adjusted for your weight and height. You also have a pot of extra points you can use in a week. So, you may have 30 points to use each day, but if you slip up - it's okay! You can use the "pot" of 30 more points for the week to cover any differences.

The program works in 3 ways:

1) Meetings only
2) Online only
3) Meetings + Online

Everything is dependant on what YOU need to change your life.

The Pros

The best thing about this program is that it's real. You're going to have off days. You may even have terrible days. It's...

filipinaak0 says "ACAI BERRY CLEANSE "GOT ME FOOLED"" about Acai Berry Cleanse

filipinaak0 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:30:46 GMT

I bought the 10 day cleanse "Acai Berry", it came in two bottles. I finished the 1st bottle and did not experience anything positive at all. As a matter of fact, I got constipated for 3 days, while I had a regular VM before taking this product. The 4th day I thought I would need to see a doctor since I had no urge at all to have a VM. I forced myself to go. This product is a SCAM and I wish I could return the rest. Total waste of my money. All the good reviews I've seen and gross pictures of their VM, I just don't believe it now. I think it's just for advertisement. It works though because I bought this product, to find out that it's not for real. This "ACAI BERRY CLEANSE" does not work. Don't be a victim!! All I lost was my money. The weight loss, more energy that they talked about, NON EXISTENT!

What surprised me the most, I bought this at COSTCO and I am dissapointed that they would carry a product that doesn't work. At least I don't have to worry about my card being charged if I bought...

TunefulGal says "Sometimes, the best medicine is POP CORN!" about Various brands including Redenbacher Pop Corn

TunefulGal — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:04:43 GMT

Would you like your fiber in a liquid remedy? Or would you rather have some freshly-popped popcorn?

My six-star favorite would be the salty, buttered popcorn Dad kettle-cooked for Mom and me when we watched I Love Lucy in the fifties. Oh, the aroma floating down the stairs to the familyroom. . . Another six-star would be the dishpan full of cooled but crisp "corn" that awaited me in Grandma's sewing room when I visited. We knew nothing from real butter and salt in those days, and it was heaven!

Now, I'm appreciative of the health benefits -- no trans fat, low salt, zero cholesterol, plenty of fiber, and whole grain goodness. Popcorn if not "abused" fits the bill for all but children under four (a choking danger according to the American Academy of Pediatrics) and for those folks whose large intestine disdains the roughage popcorn represents.

My current favorite? A quick-and-easy, of course -- Orville Redenbacher's 94% Fat-free SmartPop! Kettle Korn. I've just placed...
