I looked up the fruit Irvingia Gabonensisg (african mango tree) Its been used by africans for eons of generations past. Aparently it was used as an appitite suppressent on long journeys by which they ground up the kernal inside and ate that. Scientifically it seems to have an effect on Cholesterol. My personal feeling is that they should leave the darn fruit alone as it will no doubt become extinct with all the hyped up attention its getting. I reakon we rely too much on pills and potions to give us a quick fix to loose weight.....im just gonna stick to simple health and nutrition this time round. I guess the claims are a bit accurate but....big companies raking in the dosh as usual from all the hype. Your method is working for me :0) x hope your day is a goodin. &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/african-mango-miracle-pills-or-lies#post-885 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:03:36 +0000 minumz 885@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>i was talking bowt my diet to one of my girlfriends, and she broght up something about the &quot;african mango thingee&quot; she reckons she heard it somewhere, and i was finking she mighta pickd dat random thing up somewhere but i went online and typed in african mango, and it had nothing but good things to say about this, but i still come to speculate can all this be true from a PILL??<br /> i was finking maybe all those pages were paid to endorse it or something, i even found it on some pretty flash looking websites, which raised the issue, what is your thoughts about this, or have you heard whether the claims are at the least a little bit accurate? is the miracle pill worth all its worth as its like a couple of hundred dollars// :-/<br /> thankyou very much </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/im-a-newbie-by-tania-aka-carpediem-tania#post-884 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:34:36 +0000 obsidiansurfer 884@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>I Robot... No</p> <p>Actually Liz, Quartz Life is very much alive and achieving some wicked results,and I am just a person who believes in actually contributing to others<br /> I know Quartz Life because I have done the program myself. Im not overly obese, but now in my mid 30s I had always been fit and healthy, surfing, sport , eating shitloads of whatever I want and a metabolism that would burn off most of it, without going to the gym or dieting. In the last few years with a taste for beer, and food, slowing down in my sports life and getting comfortable in relationships, although I was still slim, my belly was starting to look like my dads...I didnt want that ever. So I came across Armin and his Quartz Life program and I lost 5 kgs in 8 days without going to the gym which I find so boring anyway, and the only exercise I did was a half hour walk in the morning. Not only that but my energy levels were peaking, my skin was glowing, and a rash that I always had on my arm dissappeared .<br /> It was the alkaline nutrition and more so the mindset coaching that was the real difference for me, when you lose your attachments to certain foods, or habits, you never get stopped. Thats why I posted what I did, because it seems like its their own minds that stop them from losing weight more than anything, I dont care if they take it on or not, I just shared an opportunity that I believe may change their lives.</p> <p>Kind Regards<br /> Obsidian Surfer </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/ready-for-a-new-start#post-882 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:15:55 +0000 Liz Quilty 882@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Jade, you are in the waikato?

Im new too as of today :0). Im 109 kilos and for the past 10 years i have swung between 110 and 130 kilos and it aint nice eh chick. Stuff the diets, what this lady has done is awesome along with her website we are on now. We can do it, we just need to cut out the excess calories we are consuming. I have written a list of the healthy stuff i like to eat, and only bought that in my shopping. Im a major fan of cheese and milk so i have had to cut that down dramatically but not altogether and ive been content with that. I also downloaded a portion size picture and stuck it on my fridge, this has been wonderful to actually see what is a normal size portion and not a bianca size one (huge). Im right there with ya on this one girl. Writing down what i eat is also helping. Today banana, 2 coffees, yohgurt. lunch meusli with some coconut threads and milk and yohgurt...bit of a yohgurt day today...tonite something incorportating the maori potatoes i dug up yesterday and what else im not sure but more veg thats for sure. Kia kaha Miriama chat again soon xx Bianca. </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/im-a-determined-newbie-would-love-positive-peeps#post-872 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:50:19 +0000 minumz 872@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>hey im miriama and i am 120kg... i have tried alot of diets and still has nothing helped me.. i would really love to get &#39;skinnier&#39; or littler not only for the physical part of it but i would love to get back into sport. im a bit shy but i would like if people were on the same journey as me so id think i was more determined and we could share our thoughts on the issue as to what we think works or hard times that we feel are upon us especially wen it comes to FOOD!! any comments are welcome as positive influences im sure would spur me along &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; bring on 2012!! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/ready-for-a-new-start#post-843 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:25:24 +0000 Dragonfly 843@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Hi Jade!</p> <p>You weight about the same as me, and I also have a buggered knee (my right) but it can&#39;t be an excuse for us. Food is the #1 thing to lose weight regardless, so get the food under control first I reckon, then you can look at doing some more exercising when you are a little bit lighter.</p> <p>Best of luck with the journey!</p> <p> &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/ready-for-a-new-start#post-842 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:14:23 +0000 Jade 842@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Hi there, I&#39;m Jade, I&#39;m a 21yr old Special Ed teacher from the mighty Waikato. I currently weigh 118kgs and am ready to burn it off. I was diagnosed with an over sensitive left knee meaning that a lot of exercise and activities are out of the question. But how do I loose weight when I can&#39;t exercise as much as I want to???<br /> I&#39;ve done weight watchers and been to gyms in the past but as soon as you stop the weight just piles back on, also gyms are never open the hours that suite me. My partner brought me an Exercycle and a road bike and I use them all the time &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; :)<br /> I am now ready though to kick it all up a notch and seriously loose this extra weight!! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/sahm-of-4#post-840 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:02:50 +0000 Dragonfly 840@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Hey Becca, Wishing you all the best!

It&#39;s hard when you love good food I must say! lol recently I have been doing a lot of cake baking for various things, and needless to say many of them have not made it to their destinations! ARgh lol</p> <p>I have had problems with finding the right amount of calories for me this time, been on a sensible eating plan for a few weeks now, and not lost any weight, I think I have been majorly under-eating calories per day, when I eat about 1200 I lose no weight, might even put a little on, when I eat around 1800 I lose.. weird! Yes I am accurate with my calories and count everything.</p> <p>I have seriously given thought to having gastric banding done, but the cost is out of reach anyway.. and I was inspired recently by a Biggest Loser episode I watched (don&#39;t generally watch TV at all, nor reality crap ever) and thought, sheez I can do it.. I have before, although this time is harder I have to admit.</p> <p>Anyway.. good luck to us both, I wish you well Tania! Keep us posted as to how it is going! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/of-all-the-things-ive-lost-i-miss-my-mind-the-most#post-838 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:19:04 +0000 Dragonfly 838@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Hey BiggPoppa,</p> <p>I&#39;m also new, but wanted to say good on ya for getting into the weight loss and healthy lifestyle mode!</p> <p>Best of luck on your journey to healthy &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/hello-american-here#post-837 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:17:24 +0000 Dragonfly 837@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>Hey Mellie!</p> <p>A fellow Newbie here to this site as well, Best of luck to us both hey! </p> http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/hello-american-here#post-836 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:19:17 +0000 Mellie 836@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ <p>My name is Mellie, good to meet you all. </p> <p>My story is I&#39;ve tried everything to lose weight but I just can&#39;t seem to stick it out. I even paid 150 bucks to a hypnotherapist to no avail (In all fairness to her, I couldn&#39;t afford to go back another two or three times like I was supposed to). I know how to lose weight it and how to do it right, I just keep falling off the wagon which is why I&#39;m here. I&#39;m hoping to get some moral support, have a place to b*tch or obsess or not obsess or what ever it is I need to do to stay on track. </p> <p>Anyway, looking forward to getting to know people around here and thanks for this great site Liz, it&#39;s amazing! &lt;img src=&quot;http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p>
