Falling Off The Wagon… and now, my BEFORE & AFTER Photos
Sorry it has been so long since posting. My man was away on work related stuff for over a month, and I sort of went into a bout of depression. I told myself I wouldn’t do it, but sure enough, I slipped back into my old habbits for a short time there while he was gone and managed to gain…. 6 pounds back. Ugh!
I got back into my routine, fired up the supplements (I had some fuco prime and hoodia prime and alpha lipoic acid left), and got to work. I am happy to say that I lost all 6 pounds and a couple more for a total of 8 pounds lost in 2 weeks.
Now that is motivation! Again, I followed the Body Prime routine ( go to www.cureyourbody.com/forums and type in Body Prime and you’ll find a lot of details on that diet/fitness program posted by Dr. Houser who formulated it.)
So I am only 2 pounds lighter than my last photos (since I had gained 6 back and lost 8), but I thought I would post the before and afters since it has been so long.
CURRENT:
My Current Body - Getting Decent
And now, here is the first photo I took when I started this crazy diet and fitness program. Look at my ugly handles … Yuck!
My Ugly BEFORE photo...
I don’t know why, but these photos make me look fatter than I think I look. I swear to you I am 2 pounds lighter than my earlier photo I took, but in that photo I look thinner and more cut. Huh….
For anybody looking to lose the weight as fast as possible, I do highly recommend the program I have been using. It is as follows:
1) I did basic exercises and cardio for 2 weeks to get me into decent cardio shape so that i could hit stage II of my fitness program.
2) During this time, I cut my calories, ate cleanly, and used Hoodia Prime by Nature’s Biology to control my appetitle.
3) I started to integrate heavier weights and cycled my calories, so that I would be low one day, then normal the next, then low the next, then just a little more than normal the next, then 2 days of low, etc. This kept my metabolism guessing. Hoodia Prime totally kept me from pigging out and helped with the weight loss.
4) I eventually got off the hoodia (my stomach shrunk and I was getting full quickly from eating 5 to 6 small meals per day.)
5) I started up Fuco Prime, also by Natures Biology, and it came with the Body Prime fitness and diet routine. That KICKED my butt. But wow, the weight comes off faaaaaast when doing that program with Fuco.
That’s about it. If you have questions, post here, or I am on a handful of forums as well including the one at CureYourBody.com/Forums and 3FatChick.com

PPS: ** People ask me if I am selling Hoodia Prime. NO, I am not. I am just using the product. You wont find any affiliate links in my blogs and you can (if you choose) go to buy Hoodia Prime from anywhere you want… or you can go buy some other brand of Hoodia. I am just pointing out my experiences which happen to be with Hoodia Prime. **

Thanks for the very interesting rundown on your weight loss experience. I was wondering whether you had any ill side effects while taking the Hoodia Prime? How long did you take the Hoodia for? Thanks.

definitely NOTHING ugly about your pics lady! OUCH!
i also have been using hoodia gordonii to suppress my appetite and, i gotta say, it has really worked for me. don’t know if it does for all, but, hey, i am thrilled with the results i am getting. and i like the fact that hoodia g is all natural – not from some pharmaceutical company that could care less about longevity.
anyway, thanks for sharing and the best of luck to you!

How much Hoodia Prime did you take in a day?
February 9, 2009 at 9:32 am
I took what was recommended on the bottle. People I know that have also taken Hoodia Prime said that it takes 2 to 3 days to feel the effects. They call it a loading phase.
Remember, all Hoodia is not alike. I went through a handful of bad hoodia that didn’t work. Hoodia Prime (the brand) works well.

Hi Ross,
I did not have any adverse affects with Hoodia Prime. You just have to remember to drink plenty of water. I took Hoodia Prime for the duration of my dieting program.
Oh, and trust me when I say that almost every Hoodia product on the market does NOT work. Only Hoodia Prime worked for me. I am sure there are others out there that work, but there was no sense in me continuing to search since Hoodia Prime (the brand) worked well for me.
Since I started this blog and went through my program, Nature’s Biology now has something called the ‘Ultimate Weight Loss Kit’ which includes a bottle of Hoodia Prime. I wish they would have had that when I started the program, as it would have saved me some money. It looks really good. You can find out more at their page:

Carinna:
Thanks for putting this blog together sharing your experiences with Hoodia Prime. I’ve been researching the hoodia market for over 2 years now and I love seeing blogs like this – where people share their REAL experiences with hoodia diet pills.
You mention that you have tried numerous other brands. Can I ask you to share what brands you tried that didn’t work?
Thanks,
Travis
