I can’t believe how much will power actually plays a huge role in trying to lose weight. Having the will power to jump on the exercise machine and actually choose a healthy meal over pizza, is definitely very difficult…especially for me since one of my favourite foods is pizza!!

Not to mention, I keep forgetting to take those Hoodia capsules and it’s driving me nuts!! I have been storing them in my desk drawer, which is probably why I keep forgetting. You’re suppose to take 2 capsules daily. One in the morning and the other an hour before dinner. I just keep remembering to take the morning ones and not the dinner ones. *smacks head*

Anyways, even with just taking it in the morning I have had great progress. I’m already down 4lbs!! Woot go me!!

I finally got my order from HoodiaHoodia.com. I ordered at the end of May and should of received it within a week but I didn’t get it. I waited and waited. Then finally yesterday, I realized it’s been almost a month, so I emailed them to complain that I didn’t receive my order yet. They checked it out and it seemed they mailed it to the wrong address. So I just received it today which was within 24 hours from the time I sent the email. They also gave me a free bottle too!! Thanks!!!

I completely did my research in finding reputable companies that sold 100% hoodia and not those fake ones from Ebay or other sites that claim it’s the real thing. There were only two companies that were legit and actually displayed their certificates on their websites. They are:

• HoodiaHoodia.com - in Canada
• Hoodia-Dietpills.com - in USA

I have ordered from both places and have received both. I haven’t tried neither yet. In fact, I was going to try the HoodiaHoodia.com version with the fudge bars, and my sister was going to try the ones from Hoodia-Dietpills.com. That way we can see which one works better.

So I’ll probably be starting the HoodiaHoodia.com capsules tomorrow which I’m actually excited to try out. The Hoodoba ones (green bottles) is for my sister to try out.

Well, I have made a Hoodia category where my progress will be placed in. So subscribe to the rss feed and stay updated. Tomorrow will be the beginning.

30-Day Weight Loss Challenge

I haven’t been watching what I’ve been eating this past week due to it being my sister’s bridal shower celebration just this past Sunday…and boy do I think I’ve packed on the pounds due to all the yummy food and desserts that were there. They were just way too tempting!! LOL!

Oh ya…I guess I should mention I am now the maid of honour for my sister’s wedding due to a little situation we had. But “GO ME“! I’m definitely excited for that but that comes with a consequence too. EVERYONE will be staring at me!! Of course I want to look my best especially in the bridal party dress I got (btw…it fit!! I was so happy)…but I don’t want to look like a friggin balloon. That’s why I’m thinking about joining the Domestic Diva 30-Day Weight Loss Challenge.

There’s an entry fee of just $3 which isn’t much at all!! Plus, the winner at the end of the 30 days wins the cash pot of all the contributions from participating members. It runs from June 4- July 4 and tomorrow is the first weigh ins. What do you honestly have to lose besides all the pounds?

I think I really am going to join this challenge. It sounds like so much fun and you just weigh yourself every Wednesday - so a whole 4 times that’s all!! Of course you have to eat healthier and exercise more in order to lose any pounds. I think just participating in a challenge like this helps with the motivation and get you up and moving your butt.

So off I am to join the challenge. Wish me luck!!

Get thin easily?

In my family, a lot of people are overweight, especially on my father’s side. There is me, my father, my grandfather, my uncle, my father’s uncle, etc. The list goes on and on.

Recently, my closest uncle has been losing weight. He is already down 40lbs. His weight before? Probably over 300lbs…possibly 350lbs or so. I’m only guessing though, but he is a big guy. Now, my sister has also informed me that my cousin and his girlfriend have been losing weight also. Both of them are big too.

So what’s the secret? One of my cousins mentioned to my sister that they are taking some kind of weight loss pill that is actually working for their family. Now because my mom found out about it, she wants to know exactly what it is to get my father and me on it too.

If it’s true that they are losing lots of weight due to this pill, I would try it out. But the problem with that is I don’t believe any pill can magically make you lose a lot of weight. You shed it through eating nutritious foods and exercising. So, it’s kind of hard for me to believe that they are losing weight through taking a some kind of medication.

In any case, I’ll check out what it is they are taking, do some research, then decide to take it or not.
