new plan

[kk2]

hello everyone. I just wanted to clear the air and , like I said, try to get this forum back to what it once was, a place where we can all come for encouragement and support. So for those of you who don't know me, here is a little about me. Last summer I started out at 280 and after a few months on the hcg and phentermine program - which completely changed my life - I lost about 33 lbs. That brings us to the beginning of November which is when I went back to work full time (I am a schoolteacher NOT a hcg seller!!) I have not gone back on the meds since then for two reasons. One for the money, and two to see if I can do it alone now that I have the healthy habits established. The only problem with that was that we were headed into the holidays!! But I didn't do too bad. All in all I did gain back a couple but I have since lost them and a few more.

Anyway, obviously I still have a long way to go and I would really like to hear any ideas and suggestions people have for how they get their exercise in while working full time, managing family, etc. I was having to cut back on my water because of my new job (you can't leave the kids alone to go to the bathroom!!) but now I'm working it out and I'm so glad! I never thought back when I was a soda addict that the day would come when I would crave and miss my water! So lets start tossing some ideas and encouragement around, shall we??

It's great to hear that hCG worked for you, where did you find a physician to perscribe this to you?

I found my clinic through an ad in the newsaper. I'm sure you can also get information online, check the American association of Bariatric Doctors. Good luck.

I really was trying with this thread to stop the arguing and "change the subject!" Come on people - any ideas? Even if you just want to share your story or talk about what you need help with, lets get a decent thread going!

I have been back on the B12/GCG shots abd  Bontril for two now and again I am extremely constipated.  
I am only drinking about 20 to 30 oz of water a day, I know it needs to be more.  When you can't do your business, you won't lose weight.... Awful.  I ordered the Colonix to hopefully do a good cleanse and then start the program off again.  Has anyone ever ordered the Colonix program? The pics are awful on line.  Almost turns you off from buying but then it says you need a good cleansing so your vitamins that you are taking can work better.  Also, says that those critters like sugar and that is possibly why you crave the sweets. Get rid of those and cravings will go away????  Even lose weight.

Any thoughts about cleanse and how they help?

I was really scared to try cleansing but when I hit a month long plateau I was willing to try anything so I bought a couple bottles from a health food store. I had a friend I really trust for health advice tell me it was a good product she had used before and that it is good to cleanse the body once or twice a year.

The problem came when I opened the package and read all the information. It said if you take any medication to consult your doctor. It was the weekend (and I knew my doctor would say don't take it anyway) so I got on a "ask the pharmacist" forum on the web and soon learned that it might have flushed out my meds before they had a chance to do what they are supposed to in my body. So I decided not to risk it.

If you're not on any meds necessary to your health, I say go for it. Let me know how it goes! I certainly imagine your constipation worries will be over!!! Good luck!!

Good Morning,

I'm new to this site and stumbled on to it when I was doing a google search for a product that I'm taking.  You said we should share our stories.  I will tell mine, and try to make it quick and painless for all of you *ha ha*.

If you look down a few threads from this one I responded to a person asking about Lepti Trim.  That is the product that I'm taking.  I'm not just taking the daytime pills like they are.  I'm taking the entire 'system' which consists of 5 products (one being a cleanse product-like what was mentioned above)  

Anyhow, to make a long story short,  I was on this program a week, then got my husband on it.  I've not been on it 5 weeks and I lost 29.5 inches and 8 lbs.  My hsuband lost 10 pounds (he only measures his gut inches... and he lost 2 there).  I'm a little person (short and not very big) but had the fat content in my thighs and butt and gut, that's where most of my inches came off of.

I'm not here to sell it, I'm not here to be a doctor... I'm just telling you it works.  I did sign up to be a distributor to sell it if I wish, but honestly the main reason why I signed up to sell it was to get the commercial pricing discount *ha ha*.

I'm hooked on this stuff.  They offer quite an array of products.  My husband takes different products that I due to his diabetes.

I hope I don't get into trouble for posting this information.  Some boards are very strict on what you can do/say.  If this is out of the confines of 'allowable', please forgive me and delete my post.

My mother n law is taking the system now and she lost 11 pounds in 2 weeks.

My contractor is taking the system now and lost 7 pounds in two weeks (and 3 inches)

My mom took it for one week, and didn't lose any weight but lost 3/4 inch off her body.

It can be done... if you are on a system that you love and can follow, stick to it!  Results don't happen over night... if you are interested in knowing more... post your questions and I will try to answer them.

Peace,
Angie
