tpiercefield says "Eat Great With W.W" about Weight Watchers

tpiercefield — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:32:02 GMT

I really didn’t think that this weight watchers program was worth the money. I actually gained weight during the course, and found it unpleasant and useless.

All the meetings can provide is advice, someone will tell you, “don’t eat so much food”, and “do exercise”, but it’s really up to you. Therefore it requires self-motivation. I found it difficult to motivate myself, and thought that paying $10 would entitle me to more help.

Another problem was that i found one of the women at the class to be a bit aggressive. This rather ruined the meetings, I was actually quite scared. Although i’m sure this is not the case at the majority of meetings.

I went to the classes for 9 weeks. Total cost, $90. Total gain, 10 pounds. I recommended this form of weight loss only for the well motivated and strong willed. To be honest I really could not be bothered.

Some Of The Food Was Really Good and then there was some food that was just Nasty..the portions are small. i guess im just...

etcountry says "This is a scam with only the owners getting rich. These are the " about Nexagen USA Jen Fe Power Patch

etcountry — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:55:46 GMT

Has anyone ever considered these are the same people who came out with the pyramid scheme diet pill and got closed down, now they try it this way? Has anyone ever asked the owners at their sales metings where they discuss all the money you can make selling their product not anyhting about losing weight, WHY THEY ARE ALL SO OVERWEIGHT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS??????????????

This is a scam. The product is way over priced and only they are getting rich quick. Go to one of their sale meetings where they sell you everything right down to buttons for your shirt, they give you nothing free, not even advice. They are all over weight but claim to have been doing this for years so why are they not all in shape?

cindymeredith says "I really did lose weight!" about NutriSystem Weight Loss Program

cindymeredith — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:27:50 GMT

I tried the Nutrisystem program after many attempts at other diet programs had failed. I stuck with it for about 2 months. I learned SO much from the program that after two months, I was ready to do it on my own. I have lost 80 pounds and even through spinal surgery and back problems and not being able to exercise, I haven't gained any back! I really want to stress the importance of what this program can teach you. It's a life long change, not a diet and it's fantastic!! Some of the food leaves something to be desired. But you can find different recipes to doctor it up and I loved most of my meals! I would recommend this to anyone...if I can do it...you can too!!

sicktodeath says "DON"T DO IT - IT COULD KILL YOU" about Slim4Life

sicktodeath — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:59:32 GMT

I signed up because I do need to lose weight. The advertised cost for as little as $6 per week is an advertising lie - it was $9 a week and then on top of that they give you all these pills to take - tell you to drink enough water to drown a fish - eat the crap they SELL you that you are required to have. You can't eat decent food so you certainly can't eat out. Most of their diet was to eat meat, eat meat, eat meat - the more you eat the more you lose. But remember you can't have one type of meat if you've had another type of meat the day before. THIS IS A SCAM - I HOPE NO ONE ELSE FALLS INTO THIS TRAP.

I felt terrible and finally went to my doctor who advised me to STOP the diet as it was literally killing me. When I took the doctor note to Slim4Life wanting a refund I was told they would work with my doctor to "See what they could do" for me. Other than try to kill me - they can do nothing for me. I will not ever, ever, ever go on their diet again.

lisetrigger says "Medi Weight Loss, Brentwood, TN - Great Program!" about Medi Weight Loss - Orlando, FL

lisetrigger — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:27:45 GMT

I'm a diabetic and am not doing the 500 calories, but a modified version of 800 calories a day with 500 calories of it in protein. In 14 days, I have lost 8 lbs. I'm happy with that. I am also trying to keepmy carb intake at 50 or less per day. I am NOT taking the appetitie suppressants or monitoring ketosis. I did not want to take those risks associated with that. I am getting a B12 shot once each week. I think this appears to be a g reat program with a doctor on staff and nurses too. I like the counseling and personal touch. I am wondering what the weight loss research shows and how they rate this program? Any feedback? It is pricey and costs between $70-$80 a week.

tigerflower says "Acai Berry Cleanse is a hoax!" about Acai Berry Cleanse

tigerflower — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:49:29 GMT

I ordered and purchased a bottle of the Extreme Acai Berry Cleanse via ebay - to avoid getting on the "we'll charge you $90 every month forever" road of despair.

I began taking the product according to the directions immediately and continued to do so for close to a month when the product was all gone.

I followed a balanced meal plan during this time and exercised a couple of times per week - nothing too arduous - I do have mobility issues.

I lost nothing - nada - no pounds or ounces. No inches either. I did not experience any energy boosts - or anything - didn't run to the toilet anymore than usual either.

The whole acai berry craze is a hoax - just another means for telemarketing companies to milk the public of hard earned cash in their battle against the bulge.

Not that I believe a pill will do the trick all by itself - as I said I did follow a plan.

The only way to really lose weight is to increase water intake - reduce salt - eat fewer calories then you are burning and increase...

MrsChristianWorld says "Weigh Down Diet-Keeps My Weight Down." about Weigh Down Diet

MrsChristianWorld — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:46:00 GMT

Gwen Shamblins Weigh Down Diet I've never been heavy but always have had trouble staying at a healthy weight. I tried every diet you can think of and slowly pounds come back on. About 12 years ago a friend of my started Gwen Shamblins Weigh Down Workshop. I was skeptical because other diets had failed me, and I had failed them. From infancy I was never properly fed nor taught when and when not to eat. I ate what ever was given to me by my mother and she fed me when she wanted to even if my first meal wasn't until 1:00pm in the afternoon as a young child who can't make their own choices or food you are stuck and you take what you can get when you get it. Do to this I had never knew what my hunger signs were and developed bad eating habits.

The plan is very simple. Eat when you are hungry, stop when you feel satisfaction, be obedient to the internal hunger signs that God has given you, eat what you want as long as you are hungry for the food. You need to be disciplined in...

eternallygrissoms says "This is the greatest weight loss plan I have ever tried." about NutriSystem Weight Loss Program

eternallygrissoms — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:02:22 GMT

I had spent the previous two years trying all kinds of diets and exercise plans. I could keep my weight steady on them but never lost any. I had all but given up on diets until my mom showed me the Nutrisystem. I was on it for only two months and by four months I had lost 20 pounds. It is the greatest system. Most of the foods are good. The main thing that I liked the most about this program is that it teaches you how to eat so that when you eventually get off the plan (because you dont have to continue indefinatly) you dont gain all the weight back. This is amazing and I would reccommend it to everyone.

bubbs1980 says "Start taking this pill in low doses and then move your way up. " about Mega-T Green Tea Dietary Supplement

bubbs1980 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 08:22:11 GMT

I took this pill in the summer of 2007 (for 3 months) and I lost 50lbs. I would get severly nauseated if I took this pill without eating. To curb that I began taking the pill with a glass of milk. It curbed my appetite and I had extreme amounts of energy. But, if I took the pill too late into the day I would tend to be fully awake during the night. I found that 1 pill would last me the whole day. I also found that if you are constantly taking diet pills in general, then they are not going to work because your body becomes immune to them. If you are currently taking a diet pill then I suggest going 3-6 months without any diet pills before you start taking a new one. Also, I took the Mega-T Green Tea pills that were in the bottle.

CarolJenk says "Slim Acai curbed my appetite!" about Slim Acai Slim Acai

CarolJenk — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:42:45 GMT

Slim Acai was my savior!

I have tired a lot of diets out there and boy am I sick of getting snake oil, scams and other garbage. I know acai has had it's share of bad raps with the amount of bad products out there so I was hesitant at first with this one.

It is a trial offer but I went ahead and bit, and I am glad I never will look back. Slim acai contains pomegranate, slimaluma, and acai. I was looking for something to help me stop eating and not have any harsh side effects like a lot of the more "peppy" products out there for this reason.

I have been taking slim acai for three months now and the results have been spectacular. Not only am I just feeling 100% better about my diet I have lost 17 pounds. Sure, this could have been from my change in diet and regular exercise but my overeating was truly out of control and slim acai did just as advertised.

I got my slim acai from www.slimacai.net But that's the only I know of to order it. I know some thing's don't work for everybody...

suzann22 says "The subway diet is the only thing that worked for me!" about The Subway Diet

suzann22 — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:14:26 GMT

The subway diet works! I started working there when I was 16 and everyone kept telling me that they were losing weight from eating there every day. So I tried it. I ate a sandwich and a salad for lunch and dinner every night and started working out! I lost 35 lbs in 3 months. One good thing about this diet is that you have a lot to choose from and they have healthy sides like yogurt and raisins plus baked chips. I recommend this diet to everyone! I used to eat the veggie sub all the time and added meatball sauce to it to add a little extra flavor. I would eat the chicken sandwich with a smear of mayo and all the veggies too! just make sure that you get water or another healthy beverage to drink. That is a lot of peoples downfall is that they drink so many things with a lot of sugar in them. I would rollarblade or do taebo tapes . Also they take the hard work out of it by telling you all the calories that you are eating. So try it! :)

nikki2525 says "An easier way to lose weight and eat what you love forever" about Weight Watchers

nikki2525 — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:55:48 GMT

I have used Weight Watchers off and on for years, starting right before I got pregnant I lost 12 pounds in 2 months. You lose weight the healthy way with weight watchers. After I had my baby I went back on weight watchers, it is a slow process but lost 21 pounds in 4 months. What I love most is that once I finally lose the weight I want to lose I can easily keep following the plan without feeling like I am on a diet for life. It is the only weight loss plan I have found that you don't do for a few months and then gain it all back because it is unfortunately not easy to follow for life.

PrincessLena says "It's a love hate thing with these pills." about Adipex Appetite Control

PrincessLena — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:52:22 GMT

I've been taking Adipex for only a week. I just finished my first week today i got them at a doctors office and they gave me 2 weeks supply of adipex, one week supply of vitamins and fiber, and over a month supply of "water pills" to make you sweat, and trust me they make you sweat!

Anyway, I love adipex so far I have so much energy. I do so much more stuff around the house and i can honestly say im eating alot less. I was told to take half a pill an hour before breakfast and half a pill an hour before dinner. As soon as i take the pill i feel full and when i think of food i feel sick. I feel and look like i lost some weight already. but im gonna wait another week before i do that.

Side effects that i noticed are: fast heartbeat, dry mouth, diarhea, using the bathroom alot, trouble sleeping and mood swings.

But to me, they are all worth it!

simplydawn says "I really did lose some weight eating subway" about The Subway Diet

simplydawn — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:10:58 GMT

I actully found that eating subway's grilled chicken sandwich 3 times a week along with my slimfast actually help me lose some weight. The great thing about that with the special that they now have for $5.00 footlongs it would make into 2 meals. So I would eat one half for lunch and the other for dinner. So for that price and half the fat grams that you would get out of a Big Mac and just FYI Mig Macs have 23 grams of fat, I would gladly eat a subway over fried food. I used to think it was just a myth with the guy on the commericals that lost all of the weight. But I have tried many other diets and starving myself. So one day I say ok if he can do it than I can too. Now along with eating the subs I did start to exercise more and that took off even more weight. My strong suggestions for subways are the grilled chicken sandwich with the sweet onion sauce on the side and the turkey with light mayo.

thetz says "Diets are not fun ;(" about Diets In General

thetz — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:16:42 GMT

Its seems I am always on a diet. I am a firm totally believe in diets and excercise but I cant seem to commite to them. I will not take diet pills or teas or anything that that. I feel that stuff is joke. But I dont like excercising and ice cream is just so much better then celery sticks. I know I use my own accentives to actually get out there and do it. I may have to be put on thyrod meds but I am so against any type of medication I figured this could be my self motivation. If I push myself enough to bring up the numbers I will not need to be on the meds. That has been working for me. I am actually making myself go out and walk and do excerise. I will tell myself when I feel lazy that If I fall behind I will have to get on the meds and I dont want that. I guess everyone needs their own motivator...mine isnt the little poka dot bikini it is meds. So my biggest advice is find that one thing that will push you.

MissRo41 says "Alli is the best product if you put in the work " about Alli Diet Pills

MissRo41 — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:33:22 GMT

Feb 2008 I had turned 40. I had gone to Vegas to celebrate my birthday I had a good time really enjoyed myself. When I came back from my trip I had looked in the mirror and I asked myself " Ok You just turned 40..What are you gonna do?" I said to myself looking in the mirror" I am going to lose weight" Feb 9th 2008 I decided to go on a diet. My results were wonderful the only problem was my weight was doing the yo-yo affect lose 5 gain 10. I got tired and frustrated with doing that. I was sitting on my couch looking at the Alli advertisement.

After I watched it, I did some research online visited alli's website. A friend of mine was on it and told me about Alli and the treatment affects. now, I was a lil hesitant on trying alli in fear of the Treatment affects. I decided to purchase the 60 pill starter kit to see if I will like alli.

June 16th was when I started Alli. July 5th was my first treatment affect. 4th of jully I had BBQ Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Mac and Cheese....

pitcherday says "WeightWatchers is a great plan and support group" about Weight Watchers

pitcherday — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 05:52:48 GMT

I went to WeightWatchers in Colorado Springs, and Killeen, TX. In both states, I found the leaders to be very well informed and personable. Even the beginner leaders that only had a few meetings under their belt were great!

I like the support group aspect of it. It's good to be with people that have shared the same struggles and hear from people who have overcome those. They have great tools for getting past a plateau and other common weight-loss issues. When you go to an in-person meeting, they often share great recipes. They also have great local supermarket finds that help you shave off the points. I really enjoyed it. It may sound funny, but I loved it when I lost 5 pounds and got a sticker and everyone clapped for me. I also loved seeing people shed their weight and applauding them too! It was inspiring to see someone reach goal or shed that baby weight.

They have the two plans, points and core. I have done both. The points one is where you are allotted a certain number of points...

kevskitty says "Will definately lose weight, the food is horrible!" about NutriSystem Weight Loss Program

kevskitty — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:52:41 GMT

The Nutrisystem diet plan will make you lose weight. I lost 10 lbs the first month I was on the plan, which I was very happy with. The key to the plan is that you are eating about 1000 to 1200 calories a day. Personally I would rather count my calories and lose the weight instead of subjecting myself to prepackaged, vacuum sealed foods that don't have to be refridgerated (I had a huge issue with meat that you stored in your cupboard).

By the second month I couldn't take the food anymore. I will admit that I am a picky eater, but I can usually just pick out the things I don't like. Most of the food has some sort of sauce on it, supposively to make it taste better. The sauces were disgusting, even the tomato sauce which is very hard to make taste bad. It ended up that the only foods I liked were the breakfast foods, most of them were good. For me I like the taste of food too much to be on plan like this for very long.

When you do the plan you are buying packaged food...

If you dont know much about Herbal talk to some one who sales it or uses it to make sure its what you need.
