OK, as promised, here they are.

After Photo:

I think I have come a long way, and it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be once my man got on the program with me. We took photos of him as well, but they are on his camera, so I will post them here when I can.

I hope this helps motivate some of you. I know photos of others have motivated me. My mom started the program after seeing how well it has worked. It’s hard to tell in the photos, but my arms are soooo much more toned than they used to be (they dont jiggle hardly at all now when I shake my arm.)

All of my pants are too loose to wear without some serious belt help, and since I have lost a good amount of rear end, I need some new clothes (I plan on shopping this weekend…. YAY!)

For those curious, my fitness routine revolves around the exercise and diet program that came with the package when I ordered Hoodia Prime and Fuco Prime from Nature’s Biology. It’s pretty intense the first week or so, but gets easier as time goes on. It’s essentially a low carb diet but with some really neat twists thrown in that make a lot of sense, and get the body tuned into a fat burning machine, just from the diet!

And then there’s the cardio and weight training that I do from my house, and that is part of what I loved about the program — that you didn’t have to have a crazy gym set up. You can use things around your house that just about everybody has. So dont use that as an excuse. It’s Friday, so I am taking a cheater day off to go have fun and relax.

Take care,

5 Weeks In – Ran Out Of Hoodia Prime – Photo Update

Posted in Weight Loss with tags , , , , , , , on July 16, 2008 by carinna

It’s been 5 weeks now on my diet. Hoodia Prime rocks! I say this not because it makes us lose weight (because that is not what it does), but because it allows us to cut our calories without either of us getting hungry (and that DOES cause us to lose weight.)

Bad news though… We ran out of Hoodia Prime…. Good news through… I ordered some more :-)

However, while re-ordering Hoodia Prime, I noticed that Natures Biology released their Fuco Prime product, so I ordered that as well after researching fucoxanthin and reading all the good stuff about it.

And while I have been making good progress, my boyfriend has also been making great progress. He’s down another 3 pounds from last week. Here are his photos:

I’ll post more of mine in a two weeks. I want to hit a specific weight before I post my next photos.

Responding To A Comment Posted on My Blog about me Using Hoodia Prime

Posted in Weight Loss with tags , , , , , , , , on July 3, 2008 by carinna

Yay, I start my long Holiday weekend tomorrow. But I thought I would post quickly:

I got a comment on one of my blog posts and instead of answering it there, I thought I would devote a little space here to answer her. Here is her comment:

Please be really honest, i too have been stung with rip offs, I have hypothyroidism, and have gone from 8st 4 to 11 st over the last 2 years, with out a change im my diet. Have tried every diet and diet pill on the market including hoodia gordinii but nothing has worked just gave me palpitations!

please, does this hoodia prime really work, and how much weight have you lost to date?

First, Hoodia Prime REALLY DOES work. I promise you it works. BUT, it might not work the way I think you want it to work. First of all, it’s not a thermogenic (creates body heat) or a stimulant (gets the nervous system going), so you aren’t going to burn extra calories by taking Hoodia Prime.

What Hoodia Prime does is it suppressed your appetite, and if you eat less, you should lose weight. Hoodia Prime gives you that little extra edge you need when you’re cutting calories, so that you’re not trying to eat everything in the fridge.

But if you plan on just sitting around and doing nothing all day and stuffing your face with oreo cookies while you take your hoodia, then of course you cant lose weight.

You mentioned heart palpitations – I think you got screwed when you ordered your hoodia. Hoodia can’t give you heart palpitations because it isn’t a stimulant or thermogenic. What you took either had other ingredients in it other than hoodia that were giving you those dangerous side effects, or it didn’t have any hoodia at all and instead had something unknown (how scary is that!?)

You wont “feel” hoodia prime, other than the fact that you wont be hungry. So if you are expecting to “feel” hoodia working somehow, then you wont, at least not the way you want it to.

I also can’t really comment on hypothyroidism and using hoodia Gordonii together, as I don’t know much about that. Sorry.
