Equitrim Day 1

Day 2, different scale ( but the one I will use for the rest of this) 223, but like I said, don't mean much, I had to switch scales. I feel fine, no headaches, cramps, fatiuge, or dehydration.

I hate to tell you this, sweetie, but there's no magic pill.

Calories in, calories out. That's what it's about.

Someone who is fairly sedentary needs about 13 calories per pound of body weight to maintain her weight. At 223 lbs, you would need 2,899 calories a day to maintain.

To lose a pound a week, you need to shave 500 calories off per day. That's 2,399 calories a day.

To lose two pounds a week, you need to shave off 1,000 calories per day. That's 1,899 calories a day.

If you exercise, you can add more calories depending on the type of exercise, your weight, and the intensity of your workout.

About two pounds a week is the recommended max for healthful weight loss. You may lose more at first due to diet changes and water weight lost, but it should level off to 1-2 lbs. a week after the first two or three weeks. Losing more than that usually indicates that you are losing water and lean muscle mass instead of fat.

Give up the expensive, potentially dangerous pills, babe, and just keep a food log. There are even some available online.

I started this new diet today also.... I am curisous, you've been on for 2 days now, any weight loss? Im keeping my fingers crossed. Let me know if you've talked with your doctor. Thanks.

I know deep down there is no magic pill, but since everything else has failed including the food logs and the professional nutritionist, slimfast and other diets, and I can't take those pills with caffeine, and my thyroid test and diabetes tests came back normal, what am I left with? Surgery? I exersize daily, and watch my calories, cut out fast food and sweets.

Day 4 220

I am curisous, any weight loss?

I wouldn't bother buying it again. I still have 2 pills left though. I didn't get the promised results and I'm dissapointed in the product. I lost weight yes, but not because of the pill, I lost several pounds from working on my uncles farm and forgetting to eat *L*.

So the point of this artical, anyone thinking of buying this product, don't bother, That Money back part sounds really good, but it's only 20 days from the day you order, and since you doing get the product till day 10 of it, by the time you notice what your results are, you can't get your money back.

got the same ad today in mail for this EquiTrim Diet pill - can't find anything on the web about it - just curious if anyone else has

I got this ad also, So attractive results.. Really want to buy it. Did anyone acutally lost weight from this?

it's me again, so the Money Back garanteed is not real?

The Money back garantee is real, but not fathimable, like I said, it's a 20 day money back garantee, but it takes 10 or more days to get the product. Also, Noone has been answering the phone at the number they gave me. I don't recomend this product to anyone!

i,m sitting here reading the same article I read yesterday, only yestersday the person was a male and today she's a female...same comments same opinion...so who are you and why is there nothing on the net about this "wonderpill"?

I got the same ad in the mail and was going to try it as well. Tried the Maggie Drozd Method. (that was a bunch of bull) Went to GNC and bought RELEASE and that stuff made me sick and nausiated. So I guess this is another hoax. I guess the only way is the right way.

Forget the pills- use common sense.  *Everyone* can lose weight, you just have to try.

If you exercise daily and eat right, you will lose weight.  It's a simple concept of calories consumed versus calories burned.  I have a ton of health problems, and I still lose weight when I adhere to a sensible diet plan like Weight Watchers.  However, results aren't quick, and they shouldn't be.  You didn't get to that weight overnight and you won't lose the weight overnight either.  There is no magical fix.  It requires long term commitment and honest work.

i just got the same ad in the mail today and it sounded so tempting that I was gonna order it......but after reading these comments I dont think that I will. I also tried the maggie drozd method which promised to lose up to 35 lbs but i dont believe that i even lost one pound....Does anyone know of anything that really works....I mean I have tried dieting and excercising but it just doesnt seem to work for me

I ordered the Maggie Drowzd method, though I did not lose the 35 pounds it promised, I have lost 20, and I still have pills left. I think it depends on the person taking the product. I am happy with my results, and I am about to order more. I think, if I would have followed the steps in the book I would have gotten the promised results. I did not change anything about my diet or exercise, I don't exercise, unless you consider chasing a 2 year old and a 7 month old exercise. I started at 191 pounds on July 5 and today I am 172 pounds. I always weigh myself at the same time everyday, too. This is just my story, if you have any doubts don't order it, but I say what does 35 dollars hurt? If you lose the weight you are very happy, if you don't you know it wasn't the right diet plan for you and to never buy it again.

I also had no side effects. If I forget to take it in the morning, I feel slow,like a normal day before I ever took this pill, when I take this pill I feel very good, energized.

I just received the EquiTrim mailer and luckily I went online before ordering. Thanks to your posting, I will not be ordering it. I do have a comment on weight loss though. I tried the Michael Thurmond 6 week body makeover. Granted, I only did it faithfully for one week and then half heartedly for the next few weeks. I did lose 10 pounds and a few inches. The diet makes sense. It's just hard to eat chicken everyday (at least that's what my body type eats). Anyway, if you have $150 to spare, it's a good plan and you see results rather quickly (first couple of days).

i,m sitting here reading the same article I read yesterday, only yestersday the person was a male and today she's a female...same comments same opinion...so who are you and why is there nothing on the net about this "wonderpill"?

I am the author of this blog, have been for the life of this particular blog, and I wrote this particular artical on my blog because I couldn't find anything about it on the net either, hense all the extra information about the company and the ads so that people considering purchasing this product can have a little information before they make a desition to buy this pill or not. In my personal opinion, it's just another water pill sham and nothing more. And I was unaware of a male making the same thing I did. I don't know why the same comments would be on both, can't help ya there.

I also had no side effects. If I forget to take it in the morning, I feel slow,like a normal day before I ever took this pill, when I take this pill I feel very good, energized.

Don't know what pills your thinking of, with Equitrim you only take ONE pill every FIVE days, definatally NOT every morning! Don't think we are talking about the same thing here.

I just received the EquiTrim mailer and luckily I went online before ordering. Thanks to your posting, I will not be ordering it.

I'm glad I could help you make an informed choice. I don't know anything about those other methods.

I tried the Maggie Drowzd diet. Did not work for me, I'm guessing it does depend on person's metabolism. Equitrim....Thanks to those that post their experience. Definetly not wasting my time and efforts. Just going to have a well balanced diet, no more eating out and making work an excuse.

What on earth is this Maggie Drowzd diet. I have never heard of it and can't seem to find anything about it on the net. Any help?

hello, yes i wanting to know if the equitrim is working? i just received some info in the mail to buy it and i was trying to find out if it is worth buying? so if you could please get back with me i would appreciate it. my weight is 224 right now. my email is: [email protected]

Does anyone know of anything that really works....I mean I have tried dieting and excercising but it just doesnt seem to work for me

Weight Watchers (really following it, not kidding yourself thinking that you are following it) and moderate exercise.  I have lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks.  Considering that I have *many* health problems that make it hard for me to lose weight (including having my thyroid removed) I can say that it honestly worked.

I kidded myself in the past saying that "diet and exercise doesn't work".  But, it's all calories in versus calories burned- there's no magic to it.  You just have to make the lifestyle change- no pill is going to do that for you.

Everybody wants a quick fix- it ain't gonna happen.  You didn't gain the weight overnight- and you won't lose it overnight either.  You have to CHANGE your lifestyle permanently to lose weight and keep it off.

I wish I had the money to do Weight Watchers, I have always wanted to try their program. Glad it works for you KarmaGirl. Like I said before, I think I'm going to try the Slim Fast plan again.

I am one of those that can say Diet and Exercise don't work well for me, but I have also proved it. 8 weeks of basic training on a strictly monitored diet and ultra vigurous exersise rutine and I actually gained 4 lbs, (difference between fat and muscle) but lost no inches from anywhere on my body. After 12 weeks, there was no difference exept that I could run 2 miles in 14 min 14 seconds.

I know my biggest vice in my Dr. Pepper "addiction" and smoking. Both of which I need to quit, and for the best results, I need to get help from my doctor. I also know I need to get out of the house more. I know that there is no magic pill, but it don't diminish the hope that there still may be one, someday. It's not a fact based hope, it's just wishfull thinking, a hope that all the work I do in a day may be enough to help me loose the weight, all the stairs, lifting, hauling, chaising, and such.

Oh well, just have to work harder I guess *L*.

I wish I had the money to do Weight Watchers, I have always wanted to try their program....Like I said before, I think I'm going to try the Slim Fast plan again.

SlimFast will end up costing you as much as Weight Watchers after you figure in the cost of the shakes and all that.  The main thing with Weight Watchers is accountability and support- you can't get that with a meal replacement shake.

A lot of people gain weight in basic training, or with any new vigorous exercise.  A lot of it is a combination of gained muscle and retained water.

One thing that is nice about WW is that it teaches you how to eat and how to modify how you live.  There is also nobody in my meeting (which is quite large) that has not lost weight when they followed the plan.

There is another option that give support and isn't too expensive: eDiets.  They have personality profiling that sets up a diet plan that is right for your style.  They have online chat groups for support, and ways to contact their counselors if you run into road blocks.  I think that it's less than $15 a month for it.

Thanks for that information! My mom is trying to track down a diet from the late 80's. I think it was called the Airforce diet or something like that. Point is, it worked and she felt most of the time that she couldn't actually eat all the food you were supposed to eat, and it was well balanced, depending on a lot of vegies.

Thanks again
