Enjoy....   alex2213 Posted at 5:08 am on Nov. 7, 2009 Quote: from NYGirl1113 at 11:28 am on Dec. 24, 2003 I don't understand how somebody can take weight loss advice from an overweight man. Agree. Similar to "business coaches" that claim to make you succesful and never run a business themselves Regards, Lex clarissa122 Posted at 9:28 am on Oct. 14, 2009 everything diet can make you gain more weight. xacimo Posted at 1:25 am on Mar. 8, 2009 Quote: from jami x3 at 6:35 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 The money that is being made by weight loss scams is appalling considering what it takes to lose weight. To burn or use more calories than you take in. A little stroll around the block everyday wouldn't hurt. It just is infuriating how many people get scammed all the time when it is not hard to figure out a weight loss strategy. Quoted for truth.  If you want to lose weight, forget any kind of supplement, or miracle product, all you need to do is cut the unhealthy foods from your diet, and exercise. coolcat234 Posted at 2:42 pm on Feb. 23, 2009 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations elliptical22 Posted at 3:46 am on Jan. 22, 2009 I don't know on what mechanism these diet pills work in reducing weight.  Any thing instantaneous weight reduction  in short span of time is not good for health.  I always trust  regular exercises and controlled food habits that will give best results. ________________________________________________________ www.squidoo.com/Elliptical-Reviews austin s23 Posted at 10:09 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 just lose weird like normal. nothings wrong with it! jami x3 Posted at 6:35 pm on Aug. 9, 2008 The money that is being made by weight loss scams is appalling considering what it takes to lose weight.

A lot are stims and will get you pumped and they do raise metabolism. They also act as appetite suppressants which causes you to eat less. They help if you have a long term goal and a lot of weight to lose. Basically the key is determination. If you cheat a little don't get discouraged, just do your best to eat right(or the next best healthy alternative) And go to your workouts, just go. bintk6 Posted at 7:50 pm on Jan. 16, 2008 Diets are a joke.
