New and unsure...
Permalink  
 


okay, so i havnt purchased yet, im still a bit unsure whether this product is right for me, it sounds good, but im not sure about the colon cleanser bit.... im not really sure of the part it plays in it, and what it does etc... i always thought that colon cleansers were just laxitives that make you go to the loo constantly, is this what it does? because i dont want to spend the next year-ish on the loo! also would you recoment this product for me?

Background of me...

I'm 21 years old, morbidly obese, dont usually exercise (it hurts so much to move!), ive been seriousy overweight since i was 6 years old, ive tried dieting, supplements, meal replacements, wieght watchers, etc and none have worked, i joined a gym 3 days ago and ive spent 1/2 an hour each day since, (i know not much, but it is a start at least?) i dont think i can stand to be so disappionted yet again. also im a uni student and i dont work so my money is very limited so this will wipe my 'fun' expenses such as movies, driving, etc... i dont eat too badly when i eat take away i usually have subway (gosh i love subway!!!!) but obviously i could eat better! i dont drink and i dont smoke!

so what do you think? and tips tricks or recomendations for me? anything will help me!

Thanks
G.G

Welcome to the forum GG.

The colon cleanse will not make you go to the loo constantly, it does however make you feel much cleaner and emptier.

The Acai tablets will help supress your appetite, if you don't eat as much it's easier for you to lose weight.  They also ( I noted ) make your nails stronger, your hair better and your skin clearer, you should also have more energy which will help you at gym.

BTW you are doing great going to gym each day even if it is just for 1/2 hour, much better than I'm doing !

You need to keep exercising and try and eat better, i have cut down on carbs and increased protein, but that's just my body, yours will be different.  You will also need to drink lots of water.

Keep us posted on your progress, how much you want to lose and what is happening to you, it's interesting for us all to hear other people's stories and successes or failures we are all here for the same reason !

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask, we are a friendly informative bunch of people.

good luck

Thanks Dinkidi for your ast reply, the clenser was my main worry, apart from it not working... im excited about joining my first gym, and its going well so far... ive a;llways hated exercising because of the pain that goes with it, but so far its not been too bad and quite enjoyable, to be honest when ive tried to lose weight in the past it wasnt for the right reasons and my heart just wasnt in it, i feel at the moment that im dedicated and hopefully it will work out this time! ive decided to get a couple of bottles just to try it out for now, and then after a couple of months ill decided if it is working for me, fingers crossed!!!

im looking to eventually lose half of my weight, which is huge, but at the moment i just want to lose 10-ish kgs, so i will find it easier to walk around my uni without huffing and puffing...!

thanks
G.G

If you don't make your goals too big you will get there, slowly is the best thing anyway.

Measuring yourself also helps as you see results quickly that way, sometimes the weight loss (especially if you are exercising and building muscle) take a bit to notice.

I find this forum very helpful to keep motivated and to be answerable to someone who you will never meet is a great way to keep on track, even if you don't do well at least admit it and you get the support to make it all worth it to keep going.

Hi there GG welcome to the forum.. Accompanying this product with a good diet and exercise heaps helps a lot in losing weight.. Regarding with the colon cleanse I agree with dinkidi, it will not make you go to loo often.. Colon cleanse will make you feel lighter and clean inside.. :)

Hey GG welcome to the forum. The colon cleanse will not make you a prisoner at your house. It doesn't make you go to the loo often. So you can still go out. It's just like a helper of the acai slim tablets with its effect. Good luck!

Very well said Dinkidi! :)

The only way to lose weight is if you truly want to lose it. If your not in the right head space you won't lose.

WOW! That is so amazing! 6kgs lost in 1 week! You must love your trainer and yourself for doing a great partnership. Is it the time of the month? It may be hormonal change that's why you feel kinda depressed. Don't worry, you have us. We'll help you all through out. Hope you receive your products. I think the delivery takes less than a week so yours is around the corner. You can email the support team and ask where your product is.

You should go and see your Doctor GG and tell him/her how you feel. It sounds like you have depression and sometimes no matter how hard you try you can't dig yourself out of it. I get like that sometimes it's horrible and I have been on anti depressants in the past.

HEY GG. AFTER I HAD MY CHILDREN I WAS A SIZE 22, ONLY 5YRS AGO NOW. I WAS ON HERBALIFE AND DISCOVERED NOT ALOT WAS HAPPENING FOR ME AFTER 6 MONTHS OF FORKING OUT LOADS OF CASH ON THE POWDER AND THE HOARDS OF TABLETS. I WENT TO MY NATUROPATH AND DISCOVERED I HAD ISSUES WITH MY THYROID. SINCE TAKING NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS TO ADJUST IT AND HAVE IT WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN, I MANAGED TO LOSE LOADS OF WEIGHT . MAYBE ITS WORTH SEEING YOUR DOCTOR AND HAVING YOUR THYROID LOOKED AT. IF IT ISNT WORKING PROPERLY, YOU WONT LOSE THE WEIGHT. XX

Thanks everyone! guess what?!?!?!? they came yesterday! so i started this morning, obviously i dont feel different because ive only just had brekkie bu tim definately looking forward to in a couple of months... when i can start feeling the difference... Thank you all for your encouragement i was extremely proud of myself, last week wasnt so good... only 100g, but still its not a gain! and i have to admit i was very lazy and sad which made me want to eat... (im an emotional eater i think) so im ok with it, but this week im feeling a little bit better so fingers crossed still no gain!

@ Belle; Yes ive been meaning to go to the doctors about my wierd up and down moods and depression but i just dont like to admit it to anyone else.... but i usually can pull myself out of my slump after a couple of days...

@ Sold my Halo; yes ive done all those sort of test; blood tests, ultrasounds etc, and because im so overwieght i go to the doc about every 3 months to make sure everything is good with me...

Talk again next time :)

I think you need to go to your GP and tell him/her about your emotional eating they should be able to refer you to a psychologists or a counsellor.

Sorry to hear that GG. I think you should indeed consult a counselor regarding your issues before it gets worse (which hopefully not). We are here to support you all through out your weight loss journey with the products. I found out that this forum helped me a lot in achieving my goal because of the friendly support and encouragement I got from each user. Knowing someone is ready to listen is a big help and encouragement. We are here with the same goal so we'll achieve it together.

I suffer from depression and sometimes you can't help it if your mood is down. I usually just spend a day by myself when Im like that. It usually helps.

I wish I could spend some time to myself when I'm in a downer, but alas people that have never had depression never understand why we can't just shake ourselves and get on with it, that we all deal with things in our own way, whether that way is right or wrong.

I only get to spend the day by myself because Natasha's at school. She was in such a bad mood this morning because I haven't been paid so I was stressed because of her. I sometimes think that I should put Natasha into foster care because I can't afford a teenager. I wonder how she'd react to that.

It's a pity she's not a bit more understanding and supportive, maybe I have it wrong but it seems that she doesn't do alot of support for you, especially as a single mum when you need it.  But she is a teenager after all !

Your right dinkidi she doesn't. I've never thought of it that way b4, I'll have to have a chat with her about it. She makes me so stressed out sometimes I feel like taking an overdose of anti depressants.

Pheww I was hoping I wasn't going to offend you by saying that, teenagers are so much about them, that they often forget to look around and help the ones that help them.

You didn't offend me at all. I'm really glad you said that I have always felt that I have to be the strong mother that can do anything. I've often thought about getting a cape and flying around the house saying "Super Mum" LOL

No, but that sounds painful.  I fell off the ladder the night of Black Saturday and had a very sore coccyx for months due to that.  Lucky I'd been drinking or it might have hurt even more !

It was very painful. It took me a week to actually go and see a Doctor and then when I found out it was broken I was amazed because I thought I was "super woman".

Most of us mum's wish that someday we'll be "super woman" Even though I'm just at home, looking after my son still it is a hard job.. I seldom get depressed but most of the time I feel so tired to a point that I want to stop from whatever I'm doing and then relax.. :)

KK I actually have clinical depression but usually only get depressed when things start to go wrong for me.


With regard to the tiredness you experience it's pretty normal for a Mum to feel that way but it goes away as they get older.
