Ok I know I've read over and over that these pills are not magic but I swear they are! I just started on the 16th and have lost 5 pounds and have all this extra energy (mostly pill induced)to work out harder and the will power to not binge. I have not felt hungry for even one second and even have to force food down. I can barely even finish a Lean Cuisine meal where 2 weeks ago I could have probably eaten three! I am counting calories and consuming 1200 daily, a chunk of that is from juice and not food.
Saturday my boyfriend and I went to a small festival thrown my some musician friends of mine out of town- it was a one night overnight deal with a few bands and tons of food. My big weakness is warm chocolate chip cookies, but I love all junk food, especially anything with chocolate but if I ever blow a diet its the cookies. I decided to bring my own food along with our potluck addition in case they didnt have anything diet-like in the potluck spread. The table was loaded with everything I shouldnt eat and even though my boyfriend had his plate loaded to the stars (about 3 times) with potato salad, corn on the cob with gobs of butter, pie etc, I didnt even WANT to eat the stuff. Later in the evening a friend of mine was walking around with a giant bowl of warm chocolate chip cookies, they were even pretty small so normally, even if I had been trying to diet, I would have justified just one-If not on a diet I would have taken 4! Well I took one, but I gave it to my boyfriend so he could have two. I have never ever ever turned down warm chocolate chip cookies! I hope this pill doesnt lose its 'Magic" before I hit my goal because so far its certainly putting me back into my old groove of working out every day like I used to. I have been taking 5-HTP and about 20mg of Phen (dumping out about 1/3 30 mg capsule) The Phen has me spinning where I can hardly sit still. My boyfriend at first thought it was a bad idea to order the pills but after the chocolate chip cookie incident he even thought they must be magic! To be funny he even pulled out my palm pilot and wrote it in my calander that I turned down something with chocolate in it.
He is one of those lucky people that can eat whatever he wants and remains underweight, I don't even think it will ever catch up with him as his parents are both toothpicks and they are also big eaters. I'm lucky that he likes a full figure and has never made me feel like I am not sexy or made an issue of my weight even when I have felt like a tub of lard- (I'd have to bet he will love it when my gut is gone though....)
Anyway so far I LOVE this stuff and reading this board is very motivating too. BTW is the tredders and shedders for anyone to list their workout?
