Week 12 – I Am Essentially Done. I Have Reached My Weight Loss Goal!E

I did it! It took one more week than I originally planned, but in 3 months I have gotten into better shape than I have been in ever. Even some old High School clothes that I have won’t fit me right.

I am going to keep working out and try to add some muscle mass now (I desperately want to get some sexy abs), but I wont be going at it hard core like I have been for the past 12 weeks. Instead I will be taking my time, eating sensibly, and soon enough I should have the rocking body I want.

I’m not sure if I will be updating this page any more, but if I do, it will be a pretty sporadic schedule. I’m leaving it up for all to learn from and wish you luck.

Thanks to everybody who wrote in and all of the nice comments. It was inspirational on my journey.

As my final post for some time, I leave you with a final picture i took last week. You can see my stomach pooch is all but gone.

Before & After Weight Loss Photos of My Man

Shoot, I forgot to post my man’s weight loss results, but thankfully one of you reminded me.

Here’s his latest photos. He’s lost nearly 26 pounds in less than 10 weeks. He’s got a ways to go, but he had a lot to start with, and he is doing great so far (Can you tell I am proud?)

Week 1:

Before starting the Natures Biology Fitness Program

Week 4:

Week 4 of Nature's Biology Fitness/Diet Program - Only using Hoodia Prime

Week 6:

Week 6 - Natures Biology Fitness & Diet Program - Only Using Hoodia Prime

Week 9 of My Hoodia Prime Diet – Now I have added Fuco Prime To the List of What I Take

I’m on week 9 of my diet. I lost 3 more pounds this week and 1 pounds last week. I can only guess that the weight loss this week far outstrips last week due to the introduction of fucoxanthin (Fuco Prime).

My weight has really been coming off since introducing Fuco Prime, another product by Nature’s Biology that stacks well with Hoodia Prime. When I say ‘stacks well’, I mean that it works well when taken together.

Fuco Prime is a thermogenic, and the studies (yes, there are actual studies on this one) shows that it breaks down adipose tissue (fat). So the Hoodia Prime keeps me from getting hungry while the Fuco Prime cuts away at the fat.

I have been using it now for a week and I highly recommend it as a stack.

Don’t think I am not exercising though – I am working my tail off. But the good news is I have not hit any plateaus and keep making improvements.

I’m going to post my last set of photos in another 2 weeks. I should be at my GOAL weight by then!!!! Just 4 more pounds to go!

By the way, I only have one bottle of Fuco Prime which as you now know is fucoxanthin, but I might switch to a brand called ‘Pure Fucoxanthin’ by Ocean Botanicals.  It looks to be the same stuff and it’s cheaper.  Unfortunately, I dont see any reviews for the other product as of yet, so  I will keep you posted on that as well.

Defending My Fast Weight Loss

I have been asked why I focus my blog on Hoodia Prime. So let me explain that. First, that is inaccurate. I have written separate blogs (and they are linked from my main blog) on the Alli diet pill (which I think is a terrible thing for your body) as well as other topics.

But this particular blog is focused around Hoodia. I think this is important because too many people try too many things at once, and then they can’t figure out what is working and what isn’t working.

So once I had determined that Hoodia Prime actually worked, I decided to stick with it. I am going to keep sticking with it until I run out and then probably re-order and introduce one more product, or replace Hoodia Prime with something else altogether.

This is a science, so to speak. I am experimenting. You have to take things in small steps if you want to have success.

Week 8 – New Photo update on my Summer Weight Loss program

OK, as promised, here they are.

Before:

Nice Spare Tire around my waist!!

After Photo:

I think I have come a long way, and it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be once my man got on the program with me. We took photos of him as well, but they are on his camera, so I will post them here when I can.

I hope this helps motivate some of you. I know photos of others have motivated me. My mom started the program after seeing how well it has worked. It’s hard to tell in the photos, but my arms are soooo much more toned than they used to be (they dont jiggle hardly at all now when I shake my arm.)

All of my pants are too loose to wear without some serious belt help, and since I have lost a good amount of rear end, I need some new clothes (I plan on shopping this weekend…. YAY!)

For those curious, my fitness routine revolves around the exercise and diet program that came with the package when I ordered Hoodia Prime and Fuco Prime from Nature’s Biology. It’s pretty intense the first week or so, but gets easier as time goes on. It’s essentially a low carb diet but with some really neat twists thrown in that make a lot of sense, and get the body tuned into a fat burning machine, just from the diet!

And then there’s the cardio and weight training that I do from my house, and that is part of what I loved about the program — that you didn’t have to have a crazy gym set up. You can use things around your house that just about everybody has. So dont use that as an excuse. It’s Friday, so I am taking a cheater day off to go have fun and relax.

Take care,

-Carrina

5 Weeks In – Ran Out Of Hoodia Prime – Photo Update

It’s been 5 weeks now on my diet. Hoodia Prime rocks! I say this not because it makes us lose weight (because that is not what it does), but because it allows us to cut our calories without either of us getting hungry (and that DOES cause us to lose weight.)

Bad news though… We ran out of Hoodia Prime…. Good news through… I ordered some more

However, while re-ordering Hoodia Prime, I noticed that Natures Biology released their Fuco Prime product, so I ordered that as well after researching fucoxanthin and reading all the good stuff about it.

And while I have been making good progress, my boyfriend has also been making great progress. He’s down another 3 pounds from last week. Here are his photos:

I’ll post more of mine in a two weeks. I want to hit a specific weight before I post my next photos.

Responding To A Comment Posted on My Hoodia Blog

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.

Are You Losing Weight With Hoodia Prime?

Yes, I am down 5 more pounds over the past 2 weeks while using Hoodia Prime and changing my diet. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot when compared to crazy claims made by manufacturers, but I am inching my way forward.

Here are two of myself, one from my 1st week and another about 10 days after (and yes, I started tanning, no matter how bad I know it is for me…. it just makes you look slimmer. There’s a 5 pound difference).

Keep in mind that when people lose more than 3 pounds per week, it’s usually going to be water weight or they are losing muscle along with their fat. I don’t want either of those. And I know I am losing fat and not muscle because the weight training I am doing hasn’t suffered. If I was losing muscle, then my workouts would be harder to do, and they’re not.

I want to go a full 30 days before I post up more photos, as it is hard to see much difference from week to week (as you can see in the above photos) even though I AM losing weight.

Confusing Hoodia Prime with another brand of Hoodia Gordonii

Somebody brought to my attention today that if you type in HOODIA PRIME on google, the first two listings are for a different company that has a similarly named product (theirs says PRIME HOODIA.)

These are NOT THE SAME THING. I know nothing about the other Hoodia Gordonii product

I was trying to refrain from posting links since Google works so well, but since there is confusion, here it is (both of these go to the same site):

Hoodia Prime

Natures Biology

The Hoodia Gordonii I am using to great effect is called Hoodia Prime and it is made by a company called Nature’s Biology. They come in these really nice looking green bottles, with a sealed wrapped top and a vacuum seal under the lid. Everything about this product is top notch.

The only bad thing is that you can go through the bottles pretty quickly. I had originally ordered 3 bottles of Hoodia Prime, but at checkout, it asked me if I wanted to double my order and upgrade to 6 bottles for only $40 more. Considering 1 bottle costs $57, this was a no brainer so I bought all 6 (you can see that in my blog post from the other day.) Because my boyfriend and I are both using Hoodia Prime, we are on bottle #2.

I can say without a doubt that we have cut way back on our junk food, and this has given us more energy than I thought would be possible. It is just amazing how far down you can be pulled on the energy level when you’re eating crap.

It’s only been about a week, so i will post results in about another week or two. I can tell you right now that my boyfriend has had pretty quick weight loss and will soon have to wear a belt because his pants are starting to wiggle off when he walks, and it’s only been a week.

More to come soon on fast weight loss tips.

Hoodia Prime Review Video

Found this video that reviews the product I am on ( Hoodia Prime ). I couldn’t agree with her more. The difference though is that I took 2 Hoodia Prime capsules an hour before each meal, 4X per day.

My boyfriend started taking Hoodia Prime and he didnt feel too much on 2 capsules, so he upped it to 3 capsules this morning and he said he is now able to feel it. He weighs twice as much as me, so that makes sense.

here’s the video reviewing Hoodia Prime:
