Green Tea HP!
Loved the taste, but at about $80 a box I didn't see the 8-10lb loss they sell ya with at the mall kiosks. After my month's box was up I was done.
I do still get samples at the mall though! I love the coffee ones!0 -
Cabbage soup diet!0

I just hate when a celeb indorses a diet fade. Kim K & Quick Slim. Camen Electra & NV...ect.... You can't tell me you got hot with them!0

Curves. I gained about 15 pounds on their program going five days a week for over six months! After doing their 6-week diet and gaining another three pounds, I quit altogether. That place was expensive!0

well i didnt buy it but when i was a teenager my mom bought an " ab roller" i use to get on that thing thinking i was gonna get a six pack.. eventually i got a 4 pack but it wasnt cause of that peice of junk0

Several years ago, herbal life! Almost had a heart attack....0

Slim 4 Life...You have to pay up front and they go by how much you need to lose...then you have to take all their supplements, vitamins, bars & drinks...in order for them to guarantee weight loss...I spent so much money and lost like 20 pounds but then when I couldn't afford to keep buying all their stuff, I just had to quit...total waste of my $$$$...Thanks for letting me BASH!!!0

Weight Watchers point system didn't work. I was eating all my points and even had the girl double check my daily log of food and excerice and she couldn't figure out why I wasn't losing weight.
Total waste of money!!!0 -
I agree with Curves. Didn't do SQUAT for me. I went for almost two years and the only thing I lost there was about $300 bucks!!0

Tuna fish diet !0

That's scary!! I love Herbal life shakes.Several years ago, herbal life! Almost had a heart attack....0 -
Slim Quick was a complete waste of money. I tried it for 2 months. I lost the same amount of weight that I had been losing before I tried it.
Alli worked, but the gas and gross slimy BMs were not worth it (sorry so graphic).0 -
slim fast! filled with crap crap crap and more crap, tastes terrible and I gained 35 lbs ..
6 week body make over.. though I did loose 20 lbs very quickly it was not something you can keep up forever.. too restrive and you feel like you starving all the time. too expensive0 -
there are these pills on the radio sayinng you don't have to stop eating.. who are they kidding. Linda:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

All those videos that promise you the best body--even though you know the instructor (with their perfect, sculpted bodies) does a whole heck of a lot more than their 15-30 minute workout video!

Wu Yi diet tea - nasty and didn't work :sick:
Colon cleanses - royally messed up my IBS :frown:
Quick Weight Loss center - other than first week regardless of how close I followed plan still didn't lose the guaranteed 3-5 lbs per week - and you know they never offered to reimburse me :mad:
Any other number of weight loss pills I have tried over the years:huh: Finally figured out just have to do it and try to stick to it!!0 -
Herba Life, Amway, Slim-Fast, Isagenix, any pre-mixed "protein" shake drinks --- most of them are filled with crap and just want your money
You can do it yourself for a heck of a lot cheaper using better ingredients -- but then they wouldn't make any money!
My newest is HCG ...yuck.0 -
hahaha... I remember doing the cabbage soup diet nearly 10 times (literally)!0

Right??? Also their videos are :yawn: Kim's weight-lifting video is annoying slow, and that whole striptease video thing... I don't think I accumulated one bead of sweat in 30 minutes. Boring!!0 -
I drink SlimFast shakes for lunch during the week. Its easy for me to pack for work and it has worked for me so far. I have lost 16lbs. People say that you don't learn how to eat healthy that way, but I eat balanced breakfasts and balanced dinners, and I always pack fruit and veggies to snack on at work.0

me too...LMBO!!! I even tried weight watchers, slim fast, diet pills, & slim quick...CRAZY!!!0 -
Reebok slide. It was a slippery long piece of mat, you put on these silly looking booties and you slide back and forth speed skater style. The mat would never stay in one spot and you constantly had to stop to adjust it. I can't remember how much I paid for it but what a piece of crap!
Also the Suzanne Sommers thighmaster. Maybe someone just starting out with exercise could benefit from it, but definitely too easy for any avid exerciser.0 -
I've done EVERYTHING guys. Seriously, cabbage soup (and other crazies,) slim fast, Curves, atkins, weight watchers, LA weight loss, I even had lap band surgery (I've seen a lot of family members do HCG, they lose a lot fast, but gain it back.) The thing is, you can lose on all of these, it's whether or not you can keep it off. There is no magic solution. The only long term solution is retraining yourself to eat healthy and exercise. Those other plans are just not realistic, long term solutions. Changing how you think and act is a realistic, long term solution. But man, they sure sound good, and change is REALLY hard. And, they sure have earned A LOT of money off of me! Kiss all of those options goodbye and lets move forward toward change.0

MetaSlim... I took it when I was a teenager... It damaged my metabolism so badly that I had a terrible burning sensation whenever I ate. Stopped taking it and gained like crazy... I still sometimes get that burning in my esophagus.0

The "Shake Weight"!! LOL really0
-
Lets not forget planta fruta which after tooting itself to be all natural turns out to have more medication in it the redline lol. And seriously the stuff didnt work i lost 5 pounds and that was it. I'll stick to my redline for work out use only0

Hahaha! There are so many gimmicks and contraptions out there that are BS!
Shake Weight
Ab belts
Red chair
Ab rockers
There are too many to name. And as for Celebrity endorsed equipment or programs, you'd have to be really naive to think that this is all they do. With the money they have they have chefs, trainers and a little plastic surgery to keep themselves looking the way they do.0 -
The grapefruit diet!
My exH bought a waist slimmer belt thingie off late night TV that would zap your skin with little electronic pulses. I think he paid like $50 for that thing, and all it did was hurt like hell.0 -
The "Shake Weight"!! LOL really
