B12/lipotropic shots question....

by Need2loseAL, Jul 29, 2007 11:37AM
OK, I have started the B12/lipotropics shots and half a phentermine 37.5 pill a day (last Tuesday) to loose weight. I am 5'7" & (started at) 156lbs. (i have lost 2lbs)My questions is if there's anyone on here who has done this program who had only 30lbs to loose? Or why one who knows of someone who has done this? I am wondering b/c all the comments that i have read about this, the people had 50+ lbs to loose so they would be losing weight differently than i will. I mainly wanna know how much weight i should except to loose per week. And how long i might have to stay on this program. The doctor i see there says that she thinks i will do very well on this, and it will take up to two months to get around the goal weight. I think that sounds great!! Anyone who has done these shots, and pills please leave any info on what you are doing or did to loose! Exercise ideas would also be great! Even meal plans to share i would appreciate! Thanks for any POSTIVE feedback, and i look forward to reading your comments!

hi
I have been taking the shots and the phen for 2 going on 3 weeks and so far i have lost 7 pounds. I could have lost more this past week but it was the time of the month. I am hoping that this week i will lose atleast five more pounds. the fist week i walked onmy treadmil for 30mins 4x a week and i ate the right kinds of food. I also have a small amount to lose (25-30) and it seems to be falling off way too slow compared to others who are dropping the weight real quickly. Hopefully some can give us some tips on what to do.

Ok, how many cal.s are you eating, and protein?

by mrsdaug, Aug 04, 2007 02:16PM
I started the shots and 1/2 Phen pill last Tuesday. As of Saturday I have lost 6 lbs. I am eating 3 meals a day, but not half as much as before I started the program. I have about 50-60 lbs to lose and if it goes as well as the first week has I will reach my goal in a few  months. I have lots of energy and not much appetite...I haven't been exercising as much as I should, but I am still getting results!

by wesgirl, Aug 04, 2007 07:58PM
that is my problem i don't eat enough food and my body is now instarvation mode. I have been real stressed and so far today have only eaten a small fries from mcdonalds and it is now 8:55pm. i was told by the doc today that i need to eat cause i will not lose any weight if i continue to starve myself. Starving myself is not my intentions but i tend to forget to eat b/c i am stressed. I was also told that b/c i am a diabetic the weight will come off slower and i have to work harder.

You have GOT to EAT!!!! And fries from McDonald's isn't the one thing you need to eat when you're only eating such a little amount!! I'm telling you now, if you don't "train" your mind into ..."OK, I'm up, gotta eat...OK, its 12:00, I've gotta eat lunch...OK, its dinner time, so I've gotta eat" you will hurt your body, and may even end up in the hospital!!! I've seen girls at the gym working out, pass out because they just wasn't hungry on this pill, and their body shut down!!!! This is very serious, and I'm really worried about you!! I've been stressed during this, but i always TRY to eat!! You need to try this for a week and see if this helps!

Breakfast:
2 Boiled Eggs
1 Low fat Yogurt
1 20 oz water

Lunch:
Mini Sub (Tuna would be best)
1 20oz water

Snack:
1 fat free yogurt
1 10oz water

Dinner:
Small salad (with grilled chicken)
1f at free yogurt
1 20oz water

Sounds like a lot, but eating these types of food will keep your body health, and you'll drop the lbs!! You can do, grilled chicken for lunch or dinner, salads for either meal, Mini subs should only be for lunch (i don't eat carbs for dinner!) and eat lots of yogurt! I eat the Yoplait light! it really taste great, and it's great for you while on this program! Please try to eat a menu some what like this one!! As long as you get 1200 cal.s (healthy cals....not junk-or fries) and at least 50g of protein, then your body will lose and you won't end up in the ER!! Another good idea when you're stressed is to get some of the Special K protein bars.. they have them in a snack size or a meal size. I wouldn't eat one as a meal a lot, but when you really don't feel like eating a lot, then these would work good- not big, but you'd be getting your protein! I really hope this helps, and i hope you let me know how it goes! I really wanna help! Good luck to you and i hope i hear from you soon!!

I have been eating 4oz yogurt with bran buds and some fruit for breakfast and my coffee...can't go without my coffee. Lunch, I eat lean meat, salad, with 2% cheese and light vinigrette dressing and lots of tomatoes or tomatoes and cottage cheese(fat-free) with Rye Krisp crackers. Supper is meat, rice, salad or veggies of some kind. I just can't eat much as I think my stomach is shrinking and the 1/2 Phen pill is working all day, but I make myself eat something good! Going to get another shot today...never had any diet work like this one has! Good luck to you...we can do it! Drink lots of water throughout the day, also.

Ok, I went today for my 2 week weigh-in and shot. I've lost 7.2 lbs all together. I was hoping for around ten, but i'm just gonna work harder! I was upset about it, since i only lost .6 lbs since last fri. but my BF made me feel better about it, so, i'm ok with it now!! Every lb is a lb!! Thanks to all of you coming here, and cheering me on! That really helps a LOT! The two numbers (that i have referred to before) on the print out were really good... Fat mass went down 1.8lbs, and Muscle mass went up 1.2, so that is why i only lost .6 on the scale. I would still like to see my numbers be better than that on Fri! I wanna start walking, but i still don't want my muscle mass # to go up to much, yet! I wanna see how much fat mass i can loose before i start to build muscle mass. Pretty much because i wanna see that scale move DOWN, DOWN!! lol Well, we'll see what happens fri! Wish me luck!! Good luck to every one else!! xoxo

I went for my shot yesterday (8/10) and in 10 days I've lost 8 lbs. My shots at the Dr. office cost $14 and if it works it's worth it! Everyone keep up the good work! I've not told my family what I'm doing and waithing for a reaction next time I see them. I live in Ga. and they in Mi. Should be fun!

To: mrsdaug
Well i think that'll be fun, about your family! And just to let you know, you're weight loss makes me feel better, back when it was my 10th day, i had lost 6.6 lbs. I'm now up to 8lbs and its been two weeks. I was kinda sad about the amount b/c so many on here loose so much in the 1st and 2nd weeks! I haven't even gotta over ten lbs yet!!! And like you the cost IS worth it! I pay a little less than you-$12 per shot and i do two a week, Tues. and Fri. Well, please come back and post you weigh-ins!!!! I will need to hear ANY positive feedback! I really need to start exercising, my BF says that will help shed the lbs a little faster...i think i will start walking, i don't wanna build to much muscle at this point. I look forward to hearing from you through out the weeks! Good luck, and wish me luck...I NEED IT!!! lol

I forgot i didn't post on this one on Fri, my weigh results! I only lost .8 lb! NOT EVEN A LB!!!! that's so frustrating! But, I'm still trying! Today is Sunday and i will start walking this evening! I've gotta  for it to keep me going strong! It's hard to see the scale only go down .8, and then yesterday we went out to eat, and i wanted sweet tea SOOO bad, (i didn't get it- I got water) I'm OK, I'm just venting! I was doing really good with eating healthy, and enjoying it, while i was losing 2lbs each weigh in, but the last two weigh ins haven't been good! I'm gonna try to walk tonight & Mon night and see if it helps my Tues weigh in! I'll be happy to lose 1.5lbs each weigh in! well wish me luck! Say a prayer for me!!!

this is why most here do not like me..(because I tell the truth) but here it goes...
the body cannot and will not lose the kind of weight loss claimed here(not fat anyway)the body tends to lose 1 lb of muscle for every lbs of FAT lost..(yes this can be stopped,more protein,lift weights)
and also.......no matter the diet..the body will not lose weight daily..and or every week....when I get ready to diet.every 2 weeks Ill take a few days off from 'dieting' mentaly..if not food also..so do not worry if the scale gets stuck....I had that happen to me..then you wake up and bamm 1-3 lbs gone.
so tricks for a sticking point...
double your water intake for 1-2 days..
mix your menu up../change it around..
add a lil more food at breakfast..shift the cals from your last meal...
either way congrats !! and keep going

Does anyone know where you can find the clinics that these shots? I just moved and was doing the injections. I live in hayward now if anyone can tell me that would be great.

This is for anyone out there. I have been researching the hcg diet for over 4 months now. I finaly have enough money to get it started. My only problem is my doctor I have been going to since I was a child will not do it. He has his own diet program that I only lost 20 lbs. on. I went to another site that is actually a clinic in another state, but they want me to send them a blood test. Again, my doctor would want to know why I suddenly want this test. Also went to Kevin D's web site and called that 800 number. Said it was $600 for the doctors consult and the injections. That just sound like a rip off!! Can any one who went to a reliable web site, got there injections and have not had a problem with cost/shipment contact me.
Thank you!

here is my whole point.........shorty says he/she has been researchingh the diet....but thats the prob........people  get there 'info' from sellers.........websites who sell it...and DR.'s who sell it......thats not truth..facts nor anything........ask a baby doc........ask a real dr.(who isent selling it)
ask the boys who  take it so there testiscle will drop.....ask the body builders who been useing HCG for over 30 yrs..and not at all for weight loss.....but to keep there ...... from shrinking...find out the real side affects..which no one here I have seen yet has........they 'CLAIM' & BRAG with lil known facts...HCG in no way ,shape or form has anything to do with fat cells.........if this was true girls wouldnt get fat..and stay fat after birth....and the stupid claims..stop and think about them....'lose fat from 'trouble' areas..lol come on...keep this in mind...most here do not like me..which is fine....most 'claim' it works for them.......but not yet has anyone been able to provide 1 bit of proof it works..from any dr. not selling it.......not 1 health org........dr........journal........no one..no where..now why do you think that is ?? hmm..........why has no company jumped on the band wagon and made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ BECAUSE ITS A SCAM brought back to life from Kevin T the convicted 3x felon..and scam artist...........he was paid from everyone he so called 'suggests' in his book.....google his name..enjoy his lenghty arrest file..and how hes being suded over the tricks on his websiter which you pay to be a member..hes a low life scum bag........and this makes you think he can be trusted..lol  people amaze me...no one uses common sense anymore........NOONE

Well, today is 3 weeks and I'm still losing. I've been going 2X a week for the shots like you...Tues and Fri and so far I've lost 15 lbs. I've found that only 1/2 a pill per day works great and if I eat something for each meal (even though I'm not hungry) I seem to lose better.My husband and I walk at night about a mile. The exercise just boosts the metabolism a bit and helps burn the calories rather than builds muscle. You can do it if I can do it! I've tried every diet known to man and never had results like this! Keep up the great work. We can do it!!!

Great job!! I wish i could lose that much!! I've been doing it now for 4 weeks, and when i went today for my weigh in, i had GAINED 1.2 lbs!! :( so I've lost a total of...7.8lbs! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I haven't been eating as healthy as i was! I had my step daughters b-day party last fri, and i ate cake fri, and sat, and had some ice cream on sun!! So, i guess i need to crack down on the food, if i wanna see some results!!It's 6:18 now here, so I'm gonna get off here, and go walk for 30 min.s!! Wish me luck!!

by dropinthelbs, Aug 22, 2007 10:59PM
I started a week ago tomorrow...tomorrow I go weigh and get the shots again..$24.  I hope this is worth all this money... I have lost at least 5 lbs this week, and that is great...but I took adipex a long time ago, and lost alot of weight with it..but as soon as I quit taking it, the weight came back on and then some!  So, I am trying to be smarter about it this time, I just hope the shots are worth the money, I know the adipex/phentermine works, so how crucial is it to go get the shots...especially if you take a B12 pill everyday?  I have bought a bottle of b12 vitamins, and I take one every morning with my diet pill.  I stay busy as a bee until about 3:00 when the pill starts wearing off, and I MAKE myself eat during the day...and eat a small dinner.  So, I hope it sticks with me...not excersing yet, but my conscience is on me everyday...so I will start, I HOPE!!

Haven't been here for a while, but the diet is still working for me. As of today, it is 4 weeks and my scale says -18 lbs. I can't believe the results! I go today for one of my 2 weekly shots and I will continue with the program until I've dropped at least 50 lbs. I met another lady who has lost 110 lbs. doing this very same thing and she looked great! She has been at it for a year this past May. When she slowed down and reached a plateau, she started walking 2 miles a day and she started losing again. Seeing her made me see that I could do it and so can you! Good luck! Yes, I am talking about the B-12/Lipotropic shots.

Good to hear from you again! I've been doing good also! I've only lost 10.8, and it's been...5 weeks! I'm not losing as fast as you or anyone else, but it's OK! I'm still trying! and as long as I lose about 3 lbs per week, then I'm happy! I wanna be to my goal by Halloween! Which my goal is 20 more lbs to lose! Maybe ill make it! Well, good luck to you and keep me posted!

To: Those looking for help with B12
OK...

Here we go.

For those with different weight issues and those looking for B12

mydietsolutions.com has all the answers you could possibly ask. There are all kinds of people there.

men, women, skinny, and overweight. B12 is not a miracle cure, but it will give you the energy to get you going.

You can go to this website and find out free information and never order a thing. You don't even need to sign up. There are many "Lookers" who just hang out and never become members. Or you can become a member and send in specific questions to the Dr and the nurses.

Do your breast natrually look like that or did they perk up due to the injections? They look nice but you should show before and after pics of your body...
