Herbal Supplements..

I haven't tried anything like that really. I hear green tea is good for helping, but let me suggest Weight Watchers. I have lost 15lbs with Weight Watchers. I don't go to the meetings, the only thing I bought was the books and point slider. Don't really have to change what you buy, unless you want to, no supplements to buy...you eat regular EVERY DAY normal food. It is just a new way of life.

I have tried hoodia & it doesnt work. I have tried many things that havent worked but if your interested there is a great weight loss doctor at Glory Medical Center in Tampa. He is resonbilly priced & his program is very healty & safe. Ive been seeing him for about 8wks & have lost 41lbs. I feel great & look great. I definately recomend checking it out. If your interested you can go to www.glorymedicalcenter.com.

I have tried evrything possible to lose weight from herbal to actual diet pills and nothing worked. I was either so hyper I couldn't sleep at night or they made me sick to my stomach even when i took them with food. Being short and always having wieght issues it has been a life long struggle for losing wieght. Unfortunately, the only thing I found that helped was a healthy diet, lots of water, and exercise. I don't know if your doctor will prescribe a prescription diet pill to you, but my doctor put me on Adipex. It was great!! She only would let me be on it for 3 months at a time. The first time I lost 10 pounds which was a year ago. I started taking it again in March and by May I had lost another 20 pounds. I realize now I should of been working out and probably would of gotten better results. I just changed my eating habits, I cut out very thing that was the color white - breads, pastas, potatoes and my love - dairy products. The bread and cheese was the hardest for me but I stuck in with it. Anyway I have not gained any of my weight back at all and I didn't feel like I was taking anything. Hope this helps

I myself have never tried Hoodia, but my father did. He was on it for about a month and lost 25 lbs. After the monthe he stopped taking it and just ate sensibly. That was 5 months ago and he hasn't put any weight back on. He said that it was a quick fix for weight loss, but the hard part is when you stop taking it, you have to be strong and not eat the stuff that got you there in the first place. While he was on it he was hyper and jittery, so there definately are side affects while taking it. I'm still nursing my son, but I think after I stop I might try Hoodia as well. Hope this helps!

I love the ARbonne Weight loss program. gofigure8.com and than go to my website to email me and I can give you more info about the program. IT's a pure and botanical weightloss program and not only safe but it works. THey have protein shakes, fiber shakes, herbal supplement, weight loss chews, detox tea, herbal colon cleanse. It all is great for your body and health as well. I lost 2 lbs a week and because I lost it slowly like that . It's stayed off and I feel great. The problem with a lot of diets is that they drop off quickly but it's not only unhealthy. You tend to gain it back and then some.
LEt me know if you need more info. I'd be happy to send you some and let you know how to try this.

I've tried Hoodia, it made me really jittery, gave me a headache and light headed. wouldn't recommended. the side effects were too strong for me. i thought i could take it since i used to use stackers the real ones when they first came out years ago but this hoodia stuff is horrible. i did it for about 3 days and couldn't take the side effects. don't waste your money on it.

hi let me just say that you have to get the right hoodia. there are many immiatations..The correct one is hoodia gordini dex L10. it does not have ant stimulants in it it is all natural from a cactus plant You just have to get the right one.It comes in a dark green bottle and costs$40. Itake it and it makes me feel full. i dont feel hyper or anything. I cant take diet pills because i feel the like my heart will explode but hoodia is differnt it is asupplement from a catus and i highly suggest it. i also have done la weight loss and lost 50 pds but it got to hard to prepare 3 meals aday for me and then separate meals for my family. I am now doing nutri system which is great you just warm it up. I lost 4 pds the first week with the hoodia and ns good luck

Hi L.!
I too have tried every diet pill on the shelf, with no success. I have also tried programs. The only ones that I have done are Metabolic Research Center diet and Weight Watchers. The Metabolic Research diet really works, however it is quite expensive. The Weight Watchers diet is more "doable" for everyday life. Not too expensive, with really no up front costs.(I think right now they are offering $12/week for the meetings in O.P.) Try it, I think that you will do great if you set your mind to really wanting to loose weight for no one but yourself! I've found that if you set your goal to do it for yourself and to make yourself feel better, you can do it! It's just changing the way you look at food. Good luck!!!

I've never tried hoodia. I've tried EVERYTHING in the past 10 years, and even sold an herbal product called Natural Trim for a while. It worked well and is sold by independent distributors for Starlight International. It's rather pricey though.
My doctor actually recommended Relacore. She said I could take it with the medications I was currently on, it's sold over the counter, and it's not expensive. About $25 a month. It works great. It definitely curbs my appetite and gives me a little extra energy. I had some problems with jitteriness at first, but it went away after a few days.

L., I just want to let you know how I lost 35 lbs in about 6 months. First you need to know, I believe their is no "miracle" pill as so many claim to get you to lose weight without exercise. I know because I tried them all, trust me. We all wish there was an easy way, but the cold hard truth is you have to exercise and eat somewhat right to do it. After fighting this truth for a long time, I finally gave into it. I went from 145lbs in January to 110lbs by July. I followed a 1300 calorie diet, and exercised. I cheated one time a week on whatever I wanted, and I do mean whatever and however much I wanted. And I drug myself (literally) to the gym starting out 3 days a week doing cardio classes at the gym such as: cardio kickboxing, spinning, running, etc. I eventually made it up to 5 days a week because it made me feel so much better. I would earn calories when I worked out and could eat more on that day. Ex: If I burned 400 calories spinning, I would eat 1700 calories that day instead of 1300. I tracked everything on www.myfooddiary.com which was wonderful because it tells you how many calories are in the foods you want to eat. It also tells you how many calories you burn during your exercising. It also keeps a graph of your improvement- you take all your measurements, weight, etc.. then take them again every week(or however often you want to) and it creates a graph so you can see if you improved or did not. It really is a great web site. Hope this helps. Just remember, it is really hard but it is so worth it in the end.

L.,

I have used a few Hoodia-based supplements; the most current is NV (pronounced "envy"). I don't recommend them as your only method of weight loss; however, I have been extremely impressed with the results thus far. I do run and exercise frequently, but it definitely helps me control my hunger/appetite and give me more energy to work out. I have lost about 12 pounds since I began taking them a few months ago (previously approximately between 148-152, now 139). I only take the supplement once a day, so I would probably loose more rapidly if I took it twice daily.

HTH!

Hey L.. My mom-n-law said her husband's losing alot of weight from some shakes he makes w/herbal supplements he gets from Herbal Life. I think that's it. Mom-n-law has cousin that ships it from GA. Unsure of prices but if you're interested, i'm sure there's something out there in Cyberspace about it. I can get you the webpage addy from her later if you'd like. Let me know. AND... best of luck w/your ventures.
