Yeah Bonnie,

I think its time to take it off this board I just opened chat on here, and it dropped me right into a "main room" thats empty. I'm in the yahoo chat room too... I spent most of my chatting career on MIRC, and not on web based chats so I'm not sure of how this works.

Hope to see you somewhere

Hi,

I've been taking the hoodia, one or two times a day for around 6 days now, and I think it is lessening my appetite. Its back to normal now for the next week and a half before my hubby and I go on a cruise out of Galveston, and I'm hoping the supply I ordered last week online arrives in time to take with me.

I don't usually gain weight on cruises, amazingly, as I'm not responsible for food preparation and feeding the masses, but this time I'm hoping to go against all odds and drop a pound or two, as I'm also generally more active on vacations...lets put that a little differently. I'm active all through my daily life, but I'm more "aerobicly" active? during vacations...

Yesterday I got more of the coconut oil in me that in the last couple of days too, and the life lift arrived, so I'm playing with that in addition to the 3-4x weekly at curves. Bonnie, do you do all your 40 "lifelifts" in one sitting? I had trouble doing the body flex and the oxycise all at once too, and incidentally, the breathing technique IS the same.

Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

Michelle

I have yet to receive my order ....

Please keep me updated on the effects you're seeing. The full effects might take 2-3 weeks....

I'm going to have the hoodia company resend my order tomorrow (they have to wait 3 weeks before the post office refunds their money for a "lost" order????).

Good luck!

Hi Michelle,

I can't comment on oxycise, etc., and life lift being the same, I never did the others.... However, some of the people who also do life lift say that the breathing technique is far gentler -- maybe you're trying too hard?

Anyway, I do the 40 all at one time -- but at the beginning I had to break it up, I tended to hyperventilate and get dizzy. Also, over the past several months, I've personalized my exercise regime, and do life lift breaths with various exercises that target my problem areas (belly!!!).

I also do life lift breaths throughout the day, have found them wonderfully "stimulating" -- like when I'm getting drowsy in a long meeting . My husband and I both do them when we're on the road -- we no longer get drowsy when driving long distances -- this is probably my strongest reason for using these!!! Perhaps it's our age (we're in our 60s), but whatever -- we were getting quite drowsy whenever we drove anywhere over a few miles -- were constantly stopping to rest and change drivers -- now we simply switch every 100 miles and haven't any alertness problems -- this is really great!

Good luck!

BMK, where did you order your hoodia from? I'm having trouble getting my order as well. I got it from hoodiahoodia.com. They're looking into my order right now.

Wanda

Hi Wanda -- mine is from hoodiahoodia.com too -- strange...

The company is out of Canada, and the person I've been communicating with is a jencully (signs her notes Jen).

She asked me to wait until tomorrow for them to re-send -- I sure hope I get the stuff!!!!!

Hi Bonnie:

I wondered when I saw you post that it was from Canada. It looks like they had some pretty big backorder problems. I'll let you know what happens with my order.

Wanda

Michele-who did you get hoodia from? I have been thinking about taking it. Once I stop nursing my daughter that is!
Do you really feel like it's worth it? How much did you pay?
Thanks!

Hi Bonnie, Twin Mommie, everyone.

I also ordered with paypal from Hoodia.com and haven't received the order yet, and I'm leaving in ten days for a cruise.

The stuff I bought was "source naturals" hoodia from the health food store and it cost 22.95 for 60 pills of 250mg, but that place is generally overpriced.

I wanted to give it a try before ordering on the net but I'm going to run out.

Maybe we should all gang up on paypal!

michelle

Here's the info I got from paypal confirming the order:


Shipped From:
Total Health Inc.
12545 Olive Blvd.

Saint Louis, MO

United States


Hope this helps. Don't see anything indicating Canada.

Michelle

Ive been reading all your post and i remember a few months ago on tv i saw a program not sure if it was DateLine or 20/20 but there was one of the journalist she went to San Tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert and she met this man growing them in rows...it wasnt a big plantation at all whatsoever either...a lot of his rows were empty and some didnt grow at all...he did say the tribs eats it and she did try a piece and she did say she wasnt hungry at all during the day...but i remember that the grower said it will take some time to grow properly and to start going on the market...so im just wondering if its really true if they do sell this stuff yet on the market...i will try to research what program i saw on tv cause now im curious...

My paypal info follows, though mine says Canada on it????

"This email confirms that you have paid Millennium Health Supplements (Canada) Inc. (jencully~sprint.ca) $46.90 CAD using PayPal.

I just ordered a bottle from www.iHerb.com:

Hoodia Extract ( Hoodia SN-1875 Gordonii 20:1 ), Source Naturals, 250 mg, 60 Tabs -- $17.00

I am absolutely sure of this place, we get all our supplements through them (they're fast and inexpensive, no shipping charges for >$20 order, etc.).

I was hoping that the other stuff was out of Canada, and might be the real thing -- but I've not had reason to complain about any of the Source Natural products, so....

Michelle, how is yours working? Do you still see any appetite suppresion? Etc.? Etc.?

Thanks!

Lanny-
I also saw the same thing w/ leslie Stahl. I think it was on 60 minutes. She tried it. It helped her not be hungry all day.

I just hope I can find something like it!

I just saw it advertised in the GNC magazine.
