I tried Hoodia, they worked GREAT....at first, then my body got used to them and I had to take more and more. I stopped after a month! Right now I use cm3 alginate, it's all natural and I love it! I read about it in one of my medical mags..I work for plastic surgeons. You should look it up, I have been on it for 3/4 months and went from 123 to 114.5 lbs. I now take it just before dinner. you have to follow the directions and take it 20-30 min b/4 eating..if you go longer it desolves and does not work!

Here is a link to a CBS 60 minutes story on the Hoodia pills. I am not sure I would want to take a mind altering drug to lose weight but according to the drug company phizer pulled out and the will only be using Hoodia in health/protien bars and drinks.

Watch out for the diet pills. They are only a temporary fix and as soon as you stop using them, you usually gain the weight back. As for things you can eat, Lean beef and pork, fish, but watch for salmon and other fatty fish. Talapia, grouper and the white fish are best, chicken, turkey, all green veggies, carrots in limited amounts, and just watch your intake of cabbage and brussle sprouts- all fruits, but bananas are high in carbs, so eat them in the morning or before exersize. Another wonderful place to go to lose weight is before and after weight loss center. They are so supportive there. It can be a little pricey to begin, but they are the greatest people. The weight watchers group meeting always made me uncomfortable, but they don't do that at before and after. Good luck in your weight loss.

Hi. I have been trying to lose weight for a couple years now without success. However, a good friend of mine is a personal trainer and she is helping me. The weight is falling off! She is teaching me how to eat right and excersize properly. She is in Georgia and I am in Florida so she teaches me in email and on the phone so I think I could do the same for you! I know how hard it is to be unhappy with yourself to the point of looking at diet pills but those are not a healthy option for losing weight, in my opinion. I know because I've tried that route.

Let me know if you would like to talk. I'd be happy to help you! I'm a stay at home mom, too. I have just started her program for me and I have lost 8 pounds already. It's been about 2 weeks so far. (I cheated on Easter, though!) I wish to lose 31 pounds.

Drop me a line and we'll talk....

If you want to truely lose the pounds and keep them off you need to change your habits. I strongly recommend journaling and learning how to eat healthy. There is a program called www.healthyforlife.com They use a program called RESET. The RESET breaks your carb cravings and helps you lose the weight and break the carb cravings. If you want a discount at Healthy for life you can use H4L. If you want more advice and would like a discount on ordering the healthy foods. You can contact me privately. The cost is very low under $10 a day for 2 meals. I have helped many people to lose weight and keep it off.

Hi G.,
I have not tried the Hoodia pills but I happen to know of something that works really well. Its called Bioslim, it is all natural and what I love the most about it is that it does not cause any kind of jittery feeling. It comes in three components- 3 bottles. 1st is the accelerator 2nd slim tone and 3rd vitamins. You take the accelerator 1st for 12 days it revs up your metobolism then you start the other 2 (the vitamins and the slim tone together) The vitamins are really very good. My nails grew so nicely from taking them. Because its so natural and good for you with all the natural herbs its made of you can take it continuously so you never gain the weight back. I have recommended it to so many people after I tried it myself. Go to www.bioslim.com or call 1-800-220-7546, I promise you will love it.

I would also like to lose weight but i have never tried the hoodia pills but i have tried the hydroxcut pills and they seemed to work alittle but like you i would like to do this with somebody else and i use to walk in a little park close to my house but I don't like going by myself.

My response to diet pills is be careful. They are not always fully tested and it would be terrible down the line to find out something is wrong. My friend has a heart condition now due to diet pills from the past. It is always better safe than sorry. My best advice is to perhaps find a nutritionist to structure your diet and eating habits and do some type of free exercising,you know, walking, riding bikes, swimming, local tennis courts, racquetball (if your community has that) things like that. I am a member of Curves, and there is program called the Curves 6 weeks solution which is an excellent program. You don't have to be a member of Curves to do the program. I know you said you don't have tons of money, but it costs $99 (unless it has changed recently), it lasts for 6 weeks, and you are able to work out at the club for those 6 weeks, you meet once a week, and you really learn how to eat properly and what is right for your body type. I lost quite a bit of weight with the program, and I would recommend it to anyone as a way to lose weight permanently becuase you turn your body into a food burning machine without diet pills. :)It is not a miracle of course, you get out what you put in. But it really works. :)
Good Luck!
