Today is the last day of my first week on my diet. Tomorrow I will weigh myself again. My start weight was 172lbs. I am excited to see what it will be and scared at the same time. I know that I haven't really been eating hardly anything this past week, but I am still scared. What if I didn't lose anything at all? Well, I will just have to wait and see tomorrow.
Today, I took my first set of Hoodia prime pills at 10:23 A.M. I was not hungry. I didn't really do anything today. Just hanging out watching some t.v. and talking with the family. About maybe 2:30 I had a hamburger. It was good stuff. I ate it slow and enjoyed every bit of it. Ofcourse, I was very full when I finished.
It is now 5:11 P.M. and I just took my second set of Hoodia Prime pills. I am not hungry at all and I made sure that I drank alot of water today. I am posting my pictures today. I hate taking pictures. I don't like the camera at all. We were never good friends. But if I am going to have an online journal about my Hoodia Prime diet, then I have to put my pictures up as extra incentive. If I see it all the time, and I dont like it, I will work harder to change it. The easy part has already started. Hoodia is doing its job (I'm not eating as much), so I am just trying to figure out what I can do about my part and be comfortable with it.
I was going to wait until tomorrow to start this, but it is going to take awhile for it to work. So the new thing for this next week is I will be taking laxatives. I started them tonight. Everybody needs to be cleaned out, and I think it is time for me. I WOULD try a colon cleanser type thing, but I need to re-order my Hoodia Prime pills.I don't have the money for both and Hoodia wins. I only got the one bottle to try it out and it has been working a lot better than I expected. I am almost out and I am NOT going to make the mistake of ordering just one bottle again. I am definitely going for the 6 bottles this time.
Its been a great day. I will let you all know what tomorrow brings... tomorrow! Have a great rest of the night.
Today was pretty darn interesting. I first of all have to say that I have had my first bbq where I didn't have one of everything that was made. It was a little depressing and super exciting at the same time. There was so much yummy food and I didn't want to eat any of them. Anyway, let me go back and start from this morning. Today is July 5th. Our big bbq day for the UFC and the 4th of July. I got out of bed about 9 A.M. and went outside to spend some time with the Family. About 10:30 A.M. I took my Hoodia Prime pills. I wasn't hungry AT ALL but want to stick with the plan as much as I can. I have to get the house ready for the bbq, so off to cleaning I go. Yay.Fun. NOT!
I stayed busy cleaning for awhile. Anyway about 3 P.M. I started feeling a little weird. I realized that I have been so busy cleaning that I wasn't drinking any water. I was doing a lot of sweating and NO WATER!! So I decided that I was going to have that awesome steak that my baby made for me last night (with some green peppers, ofcourse) YUM! and DEFINITELY some water. If you are not going to eat, at least drink some water. That is my steak at the top of the page. On the left is what is looked like before I started. That is some GOOD STUFF! Mmmm! :) On the right is what I finished with. I just couldn't eat anymore. Isn't that great? :D
Anyway, back to cleaning and no I didnt take my pills in the afternoon. I know I am bad. It was just a VERY busy day. About 5:30 people started showing up and so there was a lot of cooking to do. I didn't even sneak a bite. Not even once. I love this Hoodia Prime. Everybody ate (except me, I played some video games with one of my sons), everyone had fun. UFC was great. I only watched the very last fight (Forest vs. Rampage) It was the one that I wanted to see the most anyway. Forest won!! YAY FOREST!! :)
I didn't take my Hoodia Prime tonight. I was still not hungry, but it was getting late (it was about 10 P.M.) and I was trying to figure out if I should take it or just grab something to eat and get back on schedule tomorrow. I decided that I was going to eat. I went to grab some food and nothing. I didn't want any of it. I really freaken love these pills. I grabbed a small hamburger patty and just ate that (3 bites) before I was done. I couldn't eat anymore. I got some water and here I am. It is bedtime.
I am going to bed. I hope you ALL have sweet dreams tonight.
Okay, so last night (or very early this morning), I just couldn't sleep. Too much stress about the food and Fourth of July. Tomorrow (July 5th) is actually when we are going to have our BIG bbq. The UFC fight will be on (Forest and Rampage, I like them both, but GO FOREST), anyway there will be LOTS of food. I feel better today than I did in the middle of the night. I didn't take my Hoodia Prime pills this morning because I was so tired from being up so late. I didn't wake up until about 9:30 A.M. I wasn't hungry then and so I totally forgot about taking my pills. About 11:30 A.M. I got a little hungry and so I had some home-made Mac and Cheese (My boyfriend's dad's specialty). I can usually eat at least two bowls of this, but I could barely finish one. I thought about taking my pills then, but I had to put some chairs together (My boyfriend bought a new patio set). It is beautiful. I forgot about taking my pills until about 3:30 P.M.
I was trying to figure out what to do about that even though I wasn't hungry, so I decided that I am going to experiment and take three pills. I wasn't going to take four because I've never even taken three Hoodia pills at once. I thought that I would try it out. After all this is MY diet. MY WAY.
It is now 9:32 P.M. and I am still NOT hungry. I freaken love these pills. I have not taken anymore pills today. I have been drinking A LOT of fluids all day, so I feel pretty darn good. My boyfriend is making bbq steaks tonight and oh, it is sooo good with the green hot peppers (I don't know if thats what they are called) but they are SO great together. That is some YUMMY stuff. He is making dinner late tonight because they had to go put the trap for some crawdads (I'm not sure if that is exactly what they are called, but Ewww) and then watch fireworks. So I should be some kind of hungry right now for something, but I'm not. Everything is going great so far and I have to say, my stress for our Fourth Of July bbq is GONE!
I hope you ALL have a SUPER great night tonight and a VERY happy Fourth of July. SWEET DREAMS TO ALL! :)

[wp_caption id="attachment_179" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Diät-Pillen Hoodia"][/wp_caption]Noch ein Beispiel für rücksichtslose Ausbeutung der Natur: Das kaktusähnliche Gewächs Hoodia gordonii ist als Appetitzügler und Durstlöscher seit Jahrhunderten unter dem Stamm der San Südafrikas bekannt. Seit einiger Zeit aber werden Hoodia-Produkte als Schlankmacher im Rest der Welt angeboten. Damit ist es mit der bloßen Nutzung der Pflanzen vorbei, denn für die Herstellung von Diätmitteln werden die Wildbestände schonungslos geplündert. "Hoodia gehört zu den weltweit etwa 350 Arzneipflanzen, die unter die strengen Schutzbestimmungen des Washingtoner Artenschutzübereinkommens fallen", sagt Jutta Jahrl vom WWF.
Während Pharmakonzerne mit der Verwertung und Vermarktung traditionellen Wissens der indigenen Völker machen, erhalten letztere kaum etwas und wenn doch, dann müssen sie sich eine Entschädigung mit jahrelangem Rechtsstreit erkämpfen. Auch die San erhielten nur eine geringe Entschädigung durch den Patentinhaber - einem Pharma-Institut in Südafrika.
Der renommierte Experte Michael Heinrich, Leiter des London hat davor gewarnt, dass die massive Nutzung von pflanzlichen Arzneimitteln zu einem Verlust der Biodiversität führe.
"Die steigende Nachfrage unserer Überflussgesellschaften nach Schlankmachern und anderen Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln aus der Natur hat zum gefährlichen Schrumpfen der Bestände von Heil- und Medizinalpflanzen geführt". Das größte Problem dabei sei, dass 80 Prozent dieser Pflanzen nicht kommerziell angebaut, sondern wild gesammelt werden. So könne auch Hoodia noch nicht in großem Stil gezüchtet werden.
Das Schlimmste aber ist, dass man den Einheimischen durch rücksichtslose Ausbeutung die Möglichkeit der Nutzung von Heilmethoden und lebensnotwendiges Wissen, das sie von Generation zu Generation weiter gegeben haben, entzieht.

It is 2:15 A.M. on July 4. I haven't gone to sleep yet and I also haven't eaten anything yet. I don't want to eat, which is awesome and kind of weird at the same time right now. I am usually raiding the fridge at this time and watching some t.v. I feel like I should, but I don't really want that though. I think that keeping a blog about what I am going through and what I am feeling is working just as good as the Hoodia. Hahahahaha... okay, maybe the Hoodia Prime is doing most of the work. I just don't feel like grabbing everything from the fridge and laying in bed watching some late night shows AND my boyfriend sleep (and hope that he doesn't wake up and see me eating EVERYTHING). That was never a good thing. I think that he wonders sometimes how I got so big. Baby, that's what happened.
Anyway, I LOVE that I have Hoodia Prime and the internet. It has just been GREAT. Honestly. I was so excited tonight (or this morning) when I got on the computer and I had a comment. I just want to say thank you to Jamie so much for your encouraging words. You are very sweet. Thank you.
I have Hoodia Prime to keep me from running to the kitchen and people like Jamie to keep my hopes up. I can honestly say that I am going back to bed happy and saving tomorrows stress for TOMORROW!
Love you all. This is great. Thanks again.

So it's 9:25 A.M. and I have just taken my first set of Hoodia. I am not hungry at all and I feel good. I feel so good I want to go and do some exercises. I just don't know what to do. I am not very big on exercising. I think that I will start that next week though. It's the 4th of July weekend coming up and I want to focus on the company and the food. I am kind of excited and VERY scared at the same time to see how well I stick to this diet with all the excitement going on. Well we will just have to see.
Now it is 1:47 P.M. and I just took my second set of Hoodia Prime pills. I am a little hungry so I think that I will have a salad again. It was very yummy yesterday. I feel great that I haven't been eating as much (not even close) to what I was eating before, but I think the stress of this weekend is starting to get to me. I really want this to work, but I don't want to give you false information or worst of all false hope. Don't get me wrong the pills have been wonderful. They have been doing their job. Right now, I don't know if I can do mine. This is not going to work if we don't work together. I'm sorry, I'm babbling. :(
Okay, so it is now 7:26 P.M. I am not hungry at all and I don't think that I will be eating dinner. I am still going to take my Hoodia Prime pills though. With all the stress that I am putting myself through today, I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night emptying out the fridge. Hahahaha... that's not really funny. Okay it kinda is, a little. Okay, so that is it for the night. I hope you all have a GREAT one. Sweet dreams. :)

I know I am probably not the most inspirational person today, but I have to say how and what I am feeling.
Yay, I start my long Holiday weekend tomorrow. But I thought I would post quickly:
I got a comment on one of my blog posts and instead of answering it there, I thought I would devote a little space here to answer her. Here is her comment:
Please be really honest, i too have been stung with rip offs, I have hypothyroidism, and have gone from 8st 4 to 11 st over the last 2 years, with out a change im my diet. Have tried every diet and diet pill on the market including hoodia gordinii but nothing has worked just gave me palpitations!
please, does this hoodia prime really work, and how much weight have you lost to date?
First, Hoodia Prime REALLY DOES work. I promise you it works. BUT, it might not work the way I think you want it to work. First of all, it's not a thermogenic (creates body heat) or a stimulant (gets the nervous system going), so you aren't going to burn extra calories by taking Hoodia Prime.
What Hoodia Prime does is it suppressed your appetite, and if you eat less, you should lose weight. Hoodia Prime gives you that little extra edge you need when you're cutting calories, so that you're not trying to eat everything in the fridge.
But if you plan on just sitting around and doing nothing all day and stuffing your face with oreo cookies while you take your hoodia, then of course you cant lose weight.
You mentioned heart palpitations - I think you got screwed when you ordered your hoodia. Hoodia can't give you heart palpitations because it isn't a stimulant or thermogenic. What you took either had other ingredients in it other than hoodia that were giving you those dangerous side effects, or it didn't have any hoodia at all and instead had something unknown (how scary is that!?)
You wont "feel" hoodia prime, other than the fact that you wont be hungry. So if you are expecting to "feel" hoodia working somehow, then you wont, at least not the way you want it to.
I also can't really comment on hypothyroidism and using hoodia Gordonii together, as I don't know much about that. Sorry.

Today is July 2, 2008 and I have to say I am feeling pretty darn good today. It is 9:37 A.M. I just took the first set of my Hoodia Prime pills. I am not hungry at all. I didn't have anything for dinner again last night. I didn't forget this time. I just was not hungry at all. I didn't even grab a snack while watching some t.v.. I have been drinking a lot of water. I am doing better than I thought that I would be doing right now. Yay me! :D
It is now 2:27 P.M. and I am going to take my second set of pills. I ate a bowl of salad around 12:30ish. It was super YUMMY! I can actually enjoy my food more now. I ate a lot before because I just wanted to eat all the time and I have to say I was very good at it. I don't feel that way right now. I am not starving when I grab something to eat, so I don't have to eat too much before I am very full. I was thinking about how much I eat now and how much I was eating just last week. Its a big change. I thought about how I can have some of my snacks if I wanted to because I am not eating as much as I was before. I just don't want to though. Isn't this GREAT?!?!?
Alright, so it is 6:12 P.M. I just took my last set of Hoodia Prime pills for the day. I have had a great day today. I just have been feeling giddy today. I don't know if its the pills or just the possibility of how far they will take me. I don't know. Its just been a very good day. Anyway, around 4:00 P.M. I ate half of half a burger that my boyfriend had made last night. He makes great burgers, I just couldn't eat anymore. Right now, I am not hungry at all and I don't think that I will eat dinner tonight. But we'll see. So you all have a great night. Be happy. Talk to you all very soon.

Okay, so I received the bottles of Hoodia Prime late Saturday and I decided that I was going to wait until today, Monday June 30. I will be starting my new diet today. New week, new start. To start, I think that I will post for the first 3-4 days and then take it down to about once a week. The reason for this is because almost every site that I've looked at, they said that they didn't feel anything (they still felt kinda hungry) for the first couple of days. Maybe that is a good thing. I don't want to NOT eat at all. It is 9:44 A.M. right now and I will be taking my first two pills. Okay, so now I have officially started. Yay!! I have high hopes for this. I usually don't eat breakfast anyway, but we will see when it is lunch time.
It is now 1:38 P.M. and I have just taken my second set of pills. I was a little hungry at lunchtime, but I wasn't ready to kill for food. Trust me I usually am about that time. I did eat very little and I feel pretty good. Another thing that I have noticed that is different and AWESOME is that I am not tired. I could very well take a nap right about this time. But I don't want to and I don't feel like I need to. Well, I will get back to this when it gets closer to dinner time.
Alright, it is 6:26 P.M. I am a little hungry, but I so don't need to eat. I could definitely go without eating tonight. I am however still going to eat a little something for dinner tonight. I am going to take my last set of Hoodia Prime pills right now and I will be back on tomorrow night to let you know about how everything is working out. Have a great night and sweet dreams. :D
I did not do any exercising today, well, except for some laundry and a little walking from room to room. I wouldn't really call that exercising though. :P I am trying not to change my way too fast or I fear I will give up. Don't want that.
