Hey! How is your weightloss program going? The first week was the toughest for me I just started again to help me lose the last 15 pounds. Let me know how you're doing

I lost 9lbs the first week!!! I have my second weigh-in later today. It hasn't been too bad so far. I think the pills help a lot. The only times it's been difficult are when I'm around other people eating things I used to love that I can't have now. And this past weekend, FI and I went to a carnival and the smell of funnel cake was killing me! haha So I got a bratwurst no bun and then I was fine. When do you weigh in? You'll have to keep me updated. And I will let you know how I do tonight!

Hey ladies..I am looking to do some weightloss program, what programs are you doing? i need some suggestions.thanks

I'm going to one of those weight loss centers where they give you appetite suppressants and a B12 shot every week. I know most of the ladies on this board don't approve of it though. Obviously, it's not a long term way of keeping weight off but I needed a jump start and not everyone gains all the weight back. My cousin that did it before her wedding lost 45lbs altogether and only gained 5lbs back (and it's been 2 yrs since she did the diet).

Hey! I go to Bellus Medspa off of Waters. Ive lost 45lb so far. I weigh in every 2 weeks. Im in the program now where I am "suppose" to take 2 pills at every meal but once you get used to it, you tend to adjust it to your needs. 2 Pills is way too much for me, like I wont eat at all and that's not good haha. so I adapted it to how it works best for me and one script will last 2 weeks for me. As for the smell of food I can completely understand!!! I used to smell Mcdonald's sausage biscuits at work when no one would even have them. 9lbs is so awesome!! Thats how much I did for my first week too I know most knotties dont agree, but when I started I was in a really bad place emotionally about weight loss and I can't tell you how much better I feel about everything! Keep up the good work! FYI the chicken sausages they sell at most grocery stores are super yummy! You should try them

I have looked into a few but I find that most places are very expesive, Like Dr. Bersteins diet, was very expensive.. are they all about the same? pricey? Dr. B was 130 every week...as of right now I have cut my carbs and I am excersicing 3 times a week but I still not seeing fast result. I have lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks... thanks

Bellus Medspa..It was like $160 to start- they run full panel blood tests (check kidneys, liver, cholesterol...etc) and perform an EKG to ensure that you are healthy enough to start the diet. After that its $40 a week. To be honest with you, I really thought it was alot too, but the way you change your eating habits, its really ends up being cost-effective, at least it was for me. I had to pack my lunch every day and didnt eat out hardly ever..and that's a pretty big expense, so it balanced itself out. Bellus has a new payment plan where if you do "automatic" payments each week they cut the cost from $45 to $40 or from $45 to $35..depending on how many weeks you choose to do the program. HTH!

Tracy~8lbs in 3 weeks is good--it's HEALTHY. But I can understand if you want to lose weight faster. I go to First Impressions in Clearwater. I get a discount there for where I work so I paid $99 for my initial session which included the blood work, EKG, etc. and pay $40/week which includes my pills and B12 shot. I don't think it's too much more than that for everyone else though. It may be $45-50/wk without the discount and like $150 for the initial session.
