Slender Xcellerate

maidie

:)Hi there, I have just bought my 3rd pack and hopefully the last pack of slender xcellerate. My diet is quite healthy but like other posters I had a very sweet tooth and had a bad habit of picking and getting the munchies. My weight is only slightly reduced about 4 LBs after 2 months BUT lots of people have commented on weight loss, asking how did I lose all the weight and telling me I got awful thin which I take as a compliment. My waist is smaller but this could be due to the fact that I started running 3-4 times a week for about 25 minutes. Appetite is definitley reduced and no cravings for junk like previous when I couldn't pass the biscuits in supermarket. Found big improvement in energy levels too so have no problem getting out of bed in mornings...I used to have big difficulty. Generally think they have benefits but I would love to see weight loss on scales. Stick with it for benefits for a couple of months, will post again to update at end of pack 3.

i'm on my 2nd box,snacking is a thing of the past & i have way more energy,going walking twice a day.my advice is stick with it but stop weighing yourself,i kept jumping on the scales at the start but would be disappointed if i didn't see a difference on the scales,all in all have lost about 5 pounds not alot,but like the last girl that commented nearly everyone is telling me i have lost weight and how did i do it,so just cause its not showing on the scales doesn't mean your body shape isn't changing,
best of luck and keep us posted,its not easy but you'll be happy when your clothes are too big in a few weeks;)

Thanks guys,
now that ye mention it, someone did say to me just today that I'm looking slimmer. I didn't take much notice and actually felt a little bitter coz I was thinking yeah right, pull the other one, i've actually put on weight so you're obviously giving me bs! But I take the point that maybe what it does is change your body shape more so than show actual weight loss. Like I said though, I have a lot to lose so it's only going to work for me if it will do both. I'll keep trying for another while anyway, hopefully something will kick in.
Incidentally, someone told me I'm probably retaining a lot of fluid and that could be why the weight's so hard to shift. She suggested I get a supplement from the chemist/health store to take daily to flush out the fluids and that I'll see a big effect from this on the scales. Anyone tried anything in particular and found it effective? Or ineffective for that matter, can't afford to waste any more money on this dream of a new me!
Would appreciate any tips or experiences at all. Thanks a lot guys.

Hi all,,, can you tell me if you start on day 1, does that mean take the cleanse and the tablets or do you take the cleanse first??

also! how d hell can your body shape change without u losing weight?!!!

MelanieC

I know, it makes no sense does it?! So I don't now if it is actually possible or just a scam to make you think you've had some kind of results even when you clearly haven't. I suppose you could lose inches from different areas of your body but your overall wight may not change drastically due to other factors ( seemingly fluid retention in my case).

I didn't do the cleanse, just started the pills and the night drink together but as far as I know, if you are doing the cleanse, you do that on its own first to flush out your system before you begin the programme proper. Good luck, hope you see faster better results than me! Keep us updated!:)

Ok I see what u mean about the fluid retention!!
Ya I used that 5-4-3-2-1 drink before, and found it great for less bloated feeling and my skin improved!!
Im going to buy the cleanse and a months supply tomo!
after that if I dont see results, im over it!!
I was thinking of ALLI because my BMI is 28,, but those side-effects! eek!!

is this the first type of diet thing u have tried??

MelanieC

Oh lord, I have tried (and failed) every diet you can think of over the years - WW, Atkins, Slimfast etc etc. I was fine until I had a baby nearly 9 years ago but just have not been able to shift the weight since and that's a long time to be unhappy. I've been up and down of course but nothing major and it's been creeping steadily up with no downs for a few years now. I'm at my heaviest ever right now (actually heavier than I was at 9 months pregnant which is soooo depressing) so that's why I'm giving these a try as a last ditch attempt. Maybe they're doing nothing but the fact is I simply don't have the will-power to do it myself without some kind of crutch, even if it is a placebo. I've been good so far but if I don't see some results soon I know I'll get disillusioned and give up coz that's what always happens to me. I need to see results as an incentive to keep going.

That's why I'm hoping that it is fluid retention holding me back and that if I sort that out things might start moving. I never heard of that 54321 drink though - but you found it good,yeah? It would need to be something I could take longterm if it turns out fluid retention really is a problem for me.

I'm also trying to cut down on bread whcih is sooooo hard,for me it's like not breathing! But I know bread's one of the worst foods you can eat. i wish i wasn't so addicted to it.

Like you, I considered alli but my god,having "accidents" in public like a toddler? I don't think so! Let's hope these ones actually deliver something coz there's no side-effects. Can't wait forever though, i'm so impatient!:mad:

I excersise 3 times a week for 30 minutes

That is nowhere NEAR enough! An hour fast walking a day should see you lose a pound a week. Most people would put on weight if they did so little exercise!

MelanieC

Is 30 minutes 3 times a week not the recommended amount of exercise by dctors / nutritionists? I always thought so.

People have busy lives. Half an hour 3 times a week is just about managable without putting even more pressure on yourself. Obviously you would lose more weight if you walked for an hour every day but for a lot of people that's just setting yourself up for a fall because it's simply not sustainable longterm,what with other commitments,the weather etc.

Please stop mentioning pharmaceutical drugs like this or I will be forced to delete your posts or lock this thread. This thread is borderline on being closed as it is, many regulars are not happy with the likes of slender xcellerate being discussed as it is.

In theory 3500kcal will make or lose 1lb. So 7 days is 500kcal per day to get 500kcal. 1 hour of exercise could use up 500kcal per day.
