IlovewhatIlove says "Curves---yes, I still have them!" about Curves Fitness Center for Women

IlovewhatIlove — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:21:11 GMT

I was only impressed with Curves for maybe the first week of my membership. During this time there were tiny girls in there working which motivated me even more to come and work out daily to get the weight off. After that, there were women in there that were larger than I was working. How do you work in a fitness center and you are overweight and out of shape? What does that say about your program?

To top that off I was not allowed to bring my daughter with me while I worked out. I understand that those thirty minutes were for me but I am a single mother who was trying to squeeze in some time for working out.

To add insult to injury I could not use my membership at every Curves as promised. I was told that I needed permission from my "home" gym to go and work out at a Curves across town.

I would recommend Curves for the older woman who has time on her hands. It is very slow paced and just enought to get your heart rate up without working up a sweat.

jedipple says "They have the best receipes." about Weight Watchers Points Calculator

jedipple — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:14:58 GMT

I have belonged to Weight Watchers several times over my lifetime. It really does work and it is easy to add up the points and record them on the computer web site. This also takes time to track these things and I found that this kept me from eating during this time as I cannot eat and work on computer at the same time. The key to any diet is eating less and the right foods. The receipes that Weight Watchers has on their web site are great and very easy to make. They taste soo good and are healthy foods too. I have made my own cook book of receipes and I use that each day for each meal we have. We are senior citizens and I have more time to look at receipes and make them, now that our children are grown up and gone from home. They have excellent receipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. My favorite receipe is Cherry Chocolate Cake. You put a can of lite cherry pie filling into a box of chocolate cake mix and bake. So moist and good.

creation says "The Atkins Diet can be dangerous to your health." about The Atkins Diet

creation — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:31:57 GMT

The Atkins Diet helps you lose a lot of water weight very quickly. It sets you up to gain more weight when you come off the diet. High protein diets increase the chances of developing osteoporosis. They make your body more acidic. By making your body more acidic you are making it even harder to lose weight. Your body can only handle the uric acid in 4 ounces of meat per day. More than that and you are putting a burden on your kidneys and adding uric acid crystals to your joints increasing arthritic symptoms. Choose an abundance of raw fruits and vegetables instead.

Skempff09 says " bought Acai Berry Cleanse at the store, still wasn't worth it" about Acai Berry Cleanse

Skempff09 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:14:16 GMT

I read over most the reviews for this product. I too looked online and almost got scammed into the same thing. Thank god I ended up not having enough money in my bank account to order it due to a bill I had forgot had been taken out. Anyway, i went to my local GNC store and bought the product to try it out. It claims that it detoxifies your digestive tract over a period of two weeks. Of course this is a lot of fancy talk. It is basically a laxative you take for 14 days. I didn't find that it worked for me at all, and I took it as told. Maybe I didn't follow the diet plan well enough, I'm not sure, but from my experience it is a waste of money and time, ESPECIALLY if you try to order it free online. It's not worth either the time or the money, and I wouldn't recommend it especially to people with a sensitive digestive tract, unless you want to be in the bathroom all day. And one last word any diet pill that claims its a "free trial", is not worth your time, so don't make the...

crouton4 says "I lost weight with SlimQuick and didn't gain it back!" about SlimQuick Diet Pills

crouton4 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:37:00 GMT

Even with my busy life as a mom, I could never seem to loose any weight. I started taking SlimQuick and it really curbed my appetite. I noticed almost right away that I was losing my flat tire and I didn't have to do any excercises to do it. Now I am excercising, taking SlimQuick and watching what I eat a little more to help me loose even more weight. I am very happy with the results. After only a month I have lost about 15 pounds, safely. I feel alot healthier too and knowing that it helps cleanse your system gives me piece of mind as well.

Moondragon52 says "Sensa the last weight loss system you will ever need!!" about Sensa Weight Loss System

Moondragon52 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:41:00 GMT

I have been on Sensa for 12 weeks now and am 31.6 pounds lighter. This is the best weight loss product ever put on the market. There is no diet with Sensa, it works by retraining your brain to eat right. Sensa helps you reduce your appetite, lose your cravings, increase your water driinking, and gives you the desire to eat healthy.

The book Dr. Hirsch wrote to explain his program Sensa Weight Loss Program (the accidental discovery that is transforming the way people lose weight) is a fantastic read. He explains all the things against us and why gaining weight isn't entirely our fault. He tells us exactly how this program is going to work and why we will fail if we go on yet an other diet.

I would recommend Sensa to anyone who wants to take off the pounds and doesn't want to have to suffer to do it. Sensa is for the person who wants to win the battle of weight for the rest of their lives.

Sensa is the cheapest weight loss product on the market and the most effective. All the...

tart12341234 says "Curves is The Cure" about Curves Fitness Center for Women

tart12341234 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:38:44 GMT

Wow! I joined Curves knowing little about it other than it was a place for women only to use exercise machinery. Little did I know I was opening up a whole new world for myself. The Curves that I use is conveniently located which is only part of the benefit for me. I have little spare time so this location definitely encourages my use of Curves but the real benefit is in the community of women. From the moment I stepped through the door I felt this was different from other exercise facilities I have tried in the past. The owner and one other employee were so encouraging and inviting, I felt as if I was meeting with old friends. The attitude and friendliness of some of the other partrons is wonderful. It feels as if I am at a reunion with old friends of loved family members. Oh, sure, it's hard work - exercise does NOT come natural to me but the encouragement of others is most helpful. The knowledge of the equipment of the employees is also a huge benefit.

danandgin says "It works!!" about Slim Acai Slim Acai

danandgin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:07:57 GMT

I've been using Acai Berry Slim Acai. I've found it works great to help control my appetite with no side effects. It also gives me a great, long lasting energy boost. I run 2 restaurants and I am a cosmetologist on the side. I have recently moved across the country into a "handyman's nightmare". My husband and i have been working on this house for over a year now.

I am extremely busy and i don't always eat right. I have found taking 2 tablets in the morning helps me get through the entire lunch rush at work and lets me have enough energy to go home and make dinner, work on the house or work on 1 or more hair clients. I generally work 70 hours/week in my restaurants and another 20 hours per week as a cosmetologist. I've found with acai slim I can keep up with my active schedule.

Acai slim does not give me a "burst" of energy that leaves me feeling drained after. The energy builds slowly and alows me to maintain the needed energy level throughout the afternoon. The effects...

paularayejames says "I have lost weight on the South Beach Diet." about South Beach Diet

paularayejames — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:58:16 GMT

I have been following the South Beach diet for about 4 months and have lost 63 pounds so far. I have found that it has been relatively easy to follow and I haven't felt too deprived. You are allowed to eat quite a bit so I haven't felt hungry either. I have also found I have learned to like some new foods and have changed my eating habits hopefully for good. I now find myself eating more chicken and turkey and also eating fish which I didn't care for before. I have been exploring recipes and am learning to alter them to fit my diet. I also only eat whole grain products now and eat alot more vegetables and fruit. A plus I have found with this diet is that my overall health has improved as well. I am a diabetic and since being on this diet my blood sugar is now under control. My vision had gotten quite blurry because of my blood sugar spikes but now it is improving as well. The weight loss has been a little slower than I hoped for but it has been very steady and it has stayed off.......

kaylanobles says "The deit pills that keep us awake and nervous" about phentermine diet pills.

kaylanobles — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:58:20 GMT

If you are considering taking these pills you should think agian. phentermine is keeping teens awake for long periods of time. Not sleeping regularly is very unhealthly. It also make you fill full when you should be hungry. They are little white pills with blue specks on them. They cause you to not eat for days if you take them long enough. You get the worst taste in your mouth from not eating and bag under your eyes from not sleeping. Teenage kids are taking these to stay awake at night so they can party longer. I suggest finding a new diet or different type of diet pills to help you if your taking these now. Its much worse for people who have kids or teens in their homes. If a doctor has prscribed these to you, ask for another suggestion or just try a new diet.

amparo1998 says "YMCA has you in mind" about YMCA Programs

amparo1998 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:40:27 GMT

The YMCA has great programs for everyone they even have low income programs for low income families they really work with the community. i play softball there with alot of my friends and i can even invite friends to play and they dont have to pay or anything extra. i love that the freedom of having a place to go hang out excersise and have fun while doing it. there are alot of other programs out there that anyone can join but i have reviewed many places and had done a lot of research before i funally fouund the perfect price and they had so many programs for the entire family i really did not find a better deal any where esle. they even have yoga. i think that the YMCA has really bettered my life health wise and has really had a positive affect on my children and my family instead of hamily game borad nights we have softball matches or we have aerobics classes and that is how we bond and stay healthy and feel great.

dsvkie says "Met my weight loss goal and feel great!" about Adipex Appetite Control Pills

dsvkie — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:17:56 GMT

After researching many options, my doctor and I decided that I would try Adipex. While I already go to the gym religiously and avoid fast foods, I was hungry ALL THE TIME! It doesn't matter if you are eating healthy foods if you are eating tons of it! As I couldn't even go throughout the night without waking up and eating a bowl of cereal.

When I started Adipex, I was worried that I would be nervous or jittery. During the first few days, I did feel that I had an almost nervous energy. My mind often was racing and it was hard at times for me to slow down enough to effectively communicate what I was trying to say. After the first week, this side effect was gone and I was left feeling surprisingly energized, well rested and in fact, even more focused mentally. I was told it could make it difficult for me to sleep, but I took the pill early in the morning and since I was up early and worked hard during the day, not to mention going to the gym, I was tired at bedtime! No trouble...

Bakrabbi says "My recommendation--Go for it!" about Bariatric Surgery Surgical Procedure

Bakrabbi — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:14:41 GMT

A few years ago, a thyroid problem cause my weight to skyrocket to over 400 lbs. Even after treatment for the thyroid problem, I still couldn't lose the weight. I developed sleep apnea and high blood pressure and could barely walk from my car into a store without getting out of breath. None of my clothes looked good on me, and I was tired most of the time. Then, I had gastric bypass surgery, and within a year, I had lost 150 pounds. The sleep apnea went away, my blood pressure returned to normal, and I get compliments all the time about how I look. Not to mention the fun I've had shopping for new clothes! The only "side effect" I've had is that if I eat too fast or eat too much, I throw up. And starchy foods like rice & pasta make my stomach hurt, but it's pretty easy to simply avoid them. I'm still hoping to lose a bit more, but I feel great, look a whole lot better than I did before the surgery, and even if I never lose as much as I would like to, it was definitely "worth it!"

jlp4ever0702 says "Wow! is all I can say from the results of my RAW diet!!" about RAW

jlp4ever0702 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:00:52 GMT

I started the Raw Diet about 2 months ago and love how it makes me feel, I lost 24lbs in the first few weeks and a total of 37lbs. I have so much more energy and feel so much healthier. I love green smoothies which I discovered being RAW. Since I started RAW my hair is shinnier, stronger, and is growing like crazy. My skin looks better, My clothes are getting bigger by the day, I love the compliments I get when I see friends and family. It is a lil hard to get use to but once you are doing it for a few weeks it just seems so natural like you been doing it all your life. I do get cravings for cooked food and sometimes I cave but I am still loosing weight and loving it. My mom has also started eating RAW and seen a huge health increase she called the other day to tell me how much better her eye sight is and she owes it to her RAW life style. I get alot of negativity from ppl when I tell them I am a Raw Foodist but I dont care I seen first hand how wonderful the diet and lifestyle are.

mhudson6 says "Very effective, but could be dangerous" about Phentermine Diet Pill

mhudson6 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:46:22 GMT

Phentermine really did work for me. I have some pros and cons about the product, but it is the only product that I have lost weight from. The cons of the medicine were that I never had an appetite and I always needed water because i felt dehydrated. On the other hand I would feel very dizzy a lot of times, tired, and weak. I have always struggled with weight and it truely did help. My advice would be to take it for a month or two then stop because it can one become addicting and two it won't be healthy for your body. If you are looking for a way to suppress your appetite then Phentermine is the way to go because I eat like a horse and when I was on Phentermine I was never hungry and I had to make myself eat. Phentermine can vary for different people, it might have had negative side effects because I am already small. I would say to at-least try it if the doc will prescribe it to you because you never know how much weight you can lose.

beckymsmiles says "It sucks" about Dtox Patch Detoxing Foot Patch

beckymsmiles — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:42:04 GMT

This patch not only doesnt work it burns your skin. I was so willing to try it but It only made me sorry for even trying it. I dont think that this company even cares what it has to do to sell its products.

why sell something that does not work and that only causes You to feel like a failer. There is nothing right with this product. Maybe its only me but I havent gotten any good use out of this product. if someone does get a good service out of this than I am glad for you. But If not then you know what Im talking about. I am a very frustrated Mother of two boys and losing the weight after them has been very hard for me so when I see a product that is advertised that It can help you on your way to weight loss and It seems beliveable than I am willing to give it a try. Un fortunately for me many of the products geared this way dont work they pray on the sad and very unhappy. I fell into this category .

I am sorry if thismakes any one angry BUt I would love to hear if it works for anyone...
