Love it! I buy mine at Trader Joe's. I saw a nice big tub at Costco last week. I use it as a conditioner on my daughters dry scalp. I use it myself as a hand moisturizer and on my feet. My feet get so dry in the winter and coconut oil solves the problem. I don't do alot of cooking with it because the taste is not very…

You should visit the library do your research and then speak to your medical doctor, not the diet doctor. The pill is great in the short term. You have energy, lose weight, but in the long term you will gain all the weight back and more. Your sugar/carb cravings will come back with a vengeance. In addition, research shows…

You should weigh once a week only. If you must weigh daily, then you should get up out of bed in the AM, pee, then weigh yourself immediately. That's it. After you get up, your body chemistry/composition begins to readjust and you will notice a .5-2 pound weight gain-usually water weight. Don't weigh yourself at night.…

to get rid of my BBB. That is where my belly is bigger than my boobs. I want to feel good again. I don't want to feel a roll around my waist as I sit in my car.

I am 5'7" and @ 126 pounds not sure why you want to lose weight. Try toning with light weights. Remember men love curves on a woman. If you are not hungry for food, try drinking a protein shake instead. Don't buy the sugar filled ones from the grocery stores. Go to a muscle/fitness store or GNC or VitaminShoppe for a good…

Hello! Here are a few of my lil helpers that get me through the day. 1) when you wake, pee, weigh yourself, then drink a glass of Metamucil or Chia Seeds (from Trader Joes, Whole Foods or health food store) before breakfast. The mucil/seeds will fill up your belly and you will not eat as much. 2) I drink at least 1 gallon…
