Ok so I took this pill!!!!

Ok I just Tried that pill.! Lets see if it works on me!!!!I will wait for 30min before I eat my breakfast.

I was skeptical about it but...
Last night I stayed up researching it further and I read alot of interesting infor on it!

Sometimes when I have my meals I still FEEL like I want to eat more sometimes so I believe this will just COMPLIMENT my weight loss efforts.

In case anyone is wondering what I am taking about... I was telling Carol about this new weight loss program that is about to hit the airwaves Sept 1!!

It is from a company called XXXXXX and they have a pill that is suppose to do what gastic bypass does for patience .. you take one pill 30minutes before you eat and it expands in your stomach so you feel fuller faster.

The pill is called XXXXX...
XXXXXX capsules are filled with a water expanding polymer substance that has the consistency of applesauce. The polymer substance expands in your stomach reducing what you want to eat because it simulates a full stomach. This would have the same effect as the gastric bypass surgery where they surgically reduce the size of your stomach limiting the amount of food you can consume.

They also have a shake (meal replacement) called XXXXX and there is also a XXXXX product that will be available for those that want a more natural approach to portion control. From the website it states:

XXXX™ is a natural, proprietary, soluble, cleansing fiber-based bulking agent. 2 to 3 capsules provide fiber to cleanse your system, helping you feel full and maintain healthy regularity. XXXX should be taken 20 minutes before eating to provide maximum results. XXXX is not intended to be a meal substitute.

There is a huge buz going on about this product!!!!

This is a ground floor business opportunity also..... here is my website...

    of course you can talk about things, but your post is a total ad, wording and all. It is kind of insulting to us for you to try and pass this off as just "talking" about it.

  • Well It was an original post i had posted on my NS site.

    I thought of posting it here too.

    My sister has been telling me about this for a couple of months and I stayed up all last night researching about it.

    I have had the samples in my purse for weeks and beiing on NS I did not know how it would work for me.

    Putting the information about it was just that... putting the onformation about it!

    I have been struggling with my weight all my life and if by sharing this info will help ONE person then its all good!!!

    Am I not suppose to talk about NS either??? I am confused now actually.

    I had hoped to encourage not to cause an angry response.

    Had i known I would of gotten this response I would of never of posted it!

    I was simply SHARING the INFO like it was shared with me!

    I am truely sorry if you did not RECIEVE it the way I INTENDED it to! The intentions of my heart were from a good place not a place of greed or self promotion or anything like that.

    WOW this sucked as a welcome!!!!

    Dont get all worked up about it...Like Ali said...the people here are like family and all of a sudden on your very 1st post to MFP, you post about it all being a great business opportunity etc...it really did come across wrong....even if you intended it to come across a different way...that is the one bad thing about email postings, they dont always come across the way we intend. So, no worries, keep posting your successes and use this site to help! It really is a great site and a great group of people...
    Where in CA are you from by the way?
    Kathey, who is new here, too....
  • Well if this is FAMILY YIKES!!!!!

    Fact of the matter, is that you are tryin to sell something. You know that was your original intention as well as I do.

    We *are* a family here. Your feigned defensiveness, not withstanding, you *are* welcome here. We just don't care for charlatanism of any form.

    Yes, I am being harsh, you'll find that I am quite protective of my family, online and off. If you have something productive to the community to contribute, then by all means share it. Otherwise, sell your product elsewhere. This isn't the place to do it.

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THE POSTS OVER!!!!!!!

    This is a very inclusive group. I've been here ~3 weeks and people are warm and welcome.
    I've read your post several times. To me it does read like a scripted sales pitch. It reads as sales post Especially as it was one of your first posts. We don't have any evidence or background knowledge that it is not/was not a pitch.

    Key words that sound like a sales pitch :
    XXXXX™ is a natural, proprietary, soluble, cleansing fiber-based bulking agent. 2 to 3 capsules provide fiber to cleanse your system, helping you feel full and maintain healthy regularity. XXXX should be taken 20 minutes before eating to provide maximum results. XXXX is not intended to be a meal substitute.

    There is a huge buz going on about this product!!!!

    This is a ground floor business opportunity also..... here is my website...

    You as a person working on your own fitness and health are welcome here. Get to know some people. Share your struggles and successes.

    A sales representative (as a representative) is not welcome here.

    I visited your website and you are independent distributor, and YES your post is a definite ad for the product. I make no apologies when I say get off the site. We are here to support each other and ask pertinent questions. We do not need you to tell about any quick fix pill. if you care to join us at working hard to lose the weight and change our lifestyle, then do that. BUT NO MORE POSTING ABOUT THIS PILL:mad:

    well well well let the chaos ensue :noway: Ok Is Sue advertising her product here? yeah probably Is she be malicious? ahh I think she just didn't know and didn't read forum rules. Does Sue look in her picture like she is overweight? not to me,but not for me to judge. Am i supposed to look at picture and believe this product wil l make me thin overnight? probably. but i don't believe it. Do I think it sounds not healthy to have some blob of gelatin like substance floating in my body? I think it sounds really UNhealthy. It does what gastric bypass surgery does? I think the only thing it probably has in common with that is constant diarreha and stomach cramps frequently. I think she is just trying to make a buck. I agree this not the place to do it. overweight ppl like myself are targeted all the time by advertisers. Somethings i went for and guess what none of them worked. I personally believe the only way to lose weight is the way we are doing it on here eating healthier, exercising and offering each other POSITIVE support. This is just my opinion and I hope I haven't offended anyone. I think we need to accept Sue where she is today. Hopefully she will stick around and see how hard this struggle is for ppl like me and not want to sell some product that may or may not work. I have only been on this site a few days and I am so grateful for the friends I have found and the support I am offered on my journey. Not to mention the great receipes I am hooked on granny's mock ice cream sandwiches, they are so good i wanna find granny and give her a hug!:laugh: I wish everyone great success
  • GEEZZZZ! PEOPLE CHILL OUT!!! Yes I am new and just joined today and happened across this thread. And OMG...YOU GUYS ARE SOOO NOT NICE WOMEN!!! All this poor girl was trying to do was share info that SOME of you would might like. Working hard on your weight loss to get results is great but some still struggle with potion control of even good foods. You guys sound like a bunch of angry women that are hungry or something...my goodness. Ok grant it, I too HATE SPAM but this poor girl was not trying to spam you but offer information and she just obviously just gave too much info that she had on the product but I spoke to her via pm after reading how awful you all were to her and she explained that this is the first time she has ever offered the info to anyone and thought she should give all the info like she wanted when she was trying to find out about it. THAT'S IT, NOTHING SNEAKY OR DECEPTIVE LIKE SOME OF YOU APPARENTLY THINK. I have looked into the product myself and had been questioning it and still questioning it but I saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us7uFSDjhZs chicks video and am thinking it may be a useful thing. Not to say you should stop working out and eating fatty foods but hey if you have those days when your portion control is not that good they hey maybe. But you guys really do not deserve to have this info I guess or maybe you guys are just TOO GOOD for it. You know after people have worked out for a while and have lost some or a lot of weight they really get a big head thinking their way is the only way and don't tell me anything different kind of thing. The begin to act like they are experts in weightloss or something. And that is just so sad.

    I really feel so bad for the girl who posted the info. You all just jumped on her like she was trying to sell you a fake gold watch out of her coat or something...haha. Gimme a break get over yourselves. If someone wants to share with fellow fatties what helps them then by all means share who cares what these so called "family" think.

    Btw...I say it like is is too! I'm am NOT afraid of being PC either....oh and I too am a Libra and balance this is not!!!

    #1. I'm not a girl.
    #2. It's against the forum rules to solicite.
    #3. Had she come in and been up front about it, she would have gotten a different (much friendlier) reaction.

    You are new, and haven't been around for a lot of the crap that has been thrown around on this board. This is an extremely unique place on the internet, and that's the exact reason that this place is worth protecting. As I said before, she's as welcome here as anyone else (and she truly is) but we do expect people to be honest and forthright in the way they conduct themselves.

    As it is, this has been addressed. I don't really see a reason for this thread to continue. I'm going to let Mike know that this thread needs to be locked.
  • Well, I welcomed her...before seeing this...hmmm...can ya take stuff back? I have to say, that was an advertisement, 100%! No doubt in my mind. And a sleezy one at that. Yuk.

    OMG...YOU ARE SOOO WRONG! She is a normal person like anyone and in talking to her (in pm) she is just so perplexed at the meanness of this board. I told her lot of women boards are like that and she probably should not of posted such a good pic of herself cuz that just causes women to freak out too. She never thought she would of been referred to as a sleezy sales person...hahaha....omg...that is just so off base. What a way to judge a person before even getting to know them first. :noway:
