Has anyone tried a weight loss program that works? I was looking at Arbonne Figure 8 weight loss...? -

Hi,I just started it and love it. The shakes are really good and fill you up so you don t really crave to much. I love the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chews. Those have really saved the day when I was out running around and wanted to snack. I find most of the Figure 8 satisfies my sweet tooth and provides most of my nutritional needs...so my food intake is mainly fish, chicken and lots and lots of veggies. It was a little hard at 1st...like any diet would be to give up the bad foods, but like I said..it will provide all you need for your sweet tooth and then eat veggies with salsa and other spices to satisfy your salt cravings.I have lost 5.5 lbs and I am on day 12. I have been doing light exercise nothing to hard. If I had exercised more ...i am sure i would lose it even faster. Also, I am not starving myself...just eating better food. But now on day 12 I don t really crave the bad food any longer. If I want sweet I grab a chew or have a shake. If I want salty food, I have some veggies or some tuna.Let me know if you want a support buddy. I wish you the best!

I have not done the entire Arbonne Weight Loss Program but I do use some of the products from the Figure 8 line. I use the Vanilla Protein Shake and the NRG GO3 Fizzing Tabs.The first time I was using the Shake, I was not following the rest of the plan. The shakes taste really good, although I used half 1% milk and half water. Since I wasn t following an diet plan along with it, I didn t lose any weight. But, I didn t gain any either. I started using it again recently and this time I m going to be watching what I eat, I m doing the South Beach Diet.Next, the NRG Go Fizz tabs are awesome! I love this drink and it really does what it says it will. These tabs helped me lose 8 lbs in just a week and a half. If I was not taking these my cravings would have gotten the better of me and I would have not done as well.I add them to double the amount of water required because I think they taste better that way, the drink can be kind of sweet. Also, it does have caffeine in it (the same amount as a can of soda) so I have to drink them before 2pm otherwise I don t sleep as well. They do not give you any weird feeling or crazy energy rush when you take them. But I do feel like I have more energy and my cravings for food are greatly diminished.If you haven t seen it, there is a specific website just for the figure 8 products: www.gofigure8.com, you should check it out and they have message boards on there you might want to check out for more information.Good luck with your weight loss!

I did the Fig 8 and loved it. I had 2 protein shakes and 2 fiber shakes a day, and I actually just got the vanilla protein and mixed it with the orange fiber. Some people make them into smoothies, but I had them plain with water!I also drank the citrus drink from Arbonne, and I found that I could still eat whatever else I was hungry for. Getting all that protein, fiber and vitamins really helped curb my appetite and give me energy. It wasn t a crash diet where you starve yourself and cut food groups out and blah blah blah- it was realistic and simple and I loved it. Plus, the online community was great at the Fig 8 website.Hope this helps!P.S. I lost fifteen pounds.

I can honestly tell you that the Atkins Diet works. from personal experience and from friends and family as well. Not only do you lose it and it stays offbut, in the first two weeks or so...you lose it fast....up to 8 lbs aweek.....and you get to eat! good stuff too. you should try it...

I did the weight watchers core plan..I ate till i was full and didn t really miss anything. It is more practical for everyday life and easy to stick with. I love 20lbs in 40days

Being tested for diabetes, have a few questions? -

Im being tested for diabetes after my endocrinologist asked me if i urinated more than 8 times a day. I also drink alot of water. Im always thirsty. Im tired quite often though sometimes i can sleep for 12 hours. I dont gain any weight but when im sick i lose weight quickly. i eat like every hour when im home. I just never seem full. I get the shakes if i go a while without eating. does this sound like diabetes to you?? im 15 so which type of diabetes do you think i may have??? Im not scared about this or anything just curious. thanks for the help.

based on what you said, I think you are a typical teen and do not have dieabetes.

It does sound like diabetes, but without the test you can t be sure. Generally if you are not born with diabetes are didn t develop it at a fairly young age you will have type 2, which is controlled by diet and exercise and possible pills, but not insulin. It is also easier to reverse type 2 diabetes. which would be good given your age. So if you are make sure that you follow your doctors orders and take very good cake of yourself

I raised a couple of girls as a single parent and you sound just like them! I also do not believe you have diabetes - you are a teen that s hungry and thirsty all the time and can sleep around the clock! Let the doc check you out - you re in good hands with an endocrinologist - and go with his/her findings. Best wishes to you for a long and happy life!

How to lose weight quickly? -

i know losing weight quickly is bad for your body and all that. but i need to lose a lot a weight as soon as possible. is there anything i could take that actually works? DON T GIVE ME CUTTING THINGS OFF, EAT HEALTHY, OR ANY TYPE OF SURGERY! what kind of exercises should i do or anything that would be helpful. thanks.

There s two ways you could go and I think either way will work for you. First of all, my best suggestion is to learn to eat healthy. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/eat-��That means understand the food pyramid, the food groups, the recommended servings, etc. That is how you should eat for life! If you eat that way and have 3 small, healthy meals a day and 2 small, healthy snacks, you will lose weight. Each meal should be less than 400 calories and each snack should be about 100-150 calories. Eating highly nutritious foods is the key, so think in terms of lean protein, veggies, whole-grains, fruits, low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy oils.The second option is to do a short-term drastic diet that is designed to last for 2 weeks max. This would take off the most weight rapidly. There are several on the site under Diet Plans but my favorite is the 5-4-3-2-1 diet. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/5-4-��You get to pick what you eat, but you re going to want to pick highly nutritious foods to keep your metabolism working efficiently. Again, the eat healthy page can help you determine what highly nutritious foods are, if you need help with that. If you go on the short-term diet, then once it s over, follow the guidelines on the eat healthy page. Make water your main source of hydration and save the sweet drinks (even diet) for special occasions. Eliminate as much salt and sugar from your diet as you can.The biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout. You will want to make sure you do a good (30 minute minimum) cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health). Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively. Think in terms of power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks. To make sure that you re burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/targ��You ll find some really good information on the website, including about five pages of weight loss tips, printable weight loss journal pages, printable exercise log sheets, motivational ideas, healthy recipes, etc.Good luck!

But its true - to lose weight you MUST cut yr food intake, avoid fry and oily food.You may try reductil although its not healthy solution. I m on this pill 2 days only and i already went from 74kg to 70.1 kg. I just don t feel like eating at all, all sort of nice food also doesn t make me excite.But i decided to reduce intake of those pills and will try to have it 2-3 times a week instead of take it everyday.Good luck girl.

well, um i dont weigh much. im a 15 yr old boy, who weighs 125,( i can bench press 200 - yea ima stud :) ) well anyway, try to just skip a lot of meals. instead of eating, cut your appetite. like eating sum candy when your hungry could cut your appetite. and other than that. running is always good. you just have to be commited. it wont happened overnught, but when yougget there itll be well worth it.

My wife has tried all sorts to lose weight but nothing has worked nearly as effectively as the acai berry pills she takes. She lost 7 pounds in five weeks. She gets them off a contact at work but I found this site in Google; www.newloseweight.com they have a risk free trial on at the moment, maybe they re worth a try?
