After reading quite a bit on this product, I saw enough to make me try
it. So, tonight I bought 2 bottles of HoodiaXtra Hoodia Gordonii 90
tabs at 1000mg each from e-bay.

I am 260 right now and in pretty good health at 6'1 with a large
muscular build but I do have a belly I want to get rid of. I already
run about 2.5 to 4.5 miles 3 times a week but don't do any weight
training during the winter. I will keep a log of my results to let you
know how it works for me... I'll report my results once a week here.

If anyone else has results they can share it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd

This is my first post.  I have been looking for a site that I could
find to recommend a good hoodia product.  It is all so confusing how
they all bash each other.  I have read good & bad about all of them.
I did purchase a hoodia product at my local GNC.  This is my 2nd day,
and I am not too happy.  I took 8 capsules of 400 mg, both days.  It
curbed my appetite a little.  It was a bottle of 60 veg. caps for $30.
  At the rate that I am going this bottle will be gone in a week.  So,
I am searching for the right hoodia.  Looking for legitmate
testimonials.  Are we only allowed to discuss the pick of the week -
Biodesert burn?  Is everyone taking this?  Did it take awhile to work?
  Also, I read somewhere that you cannot really get more than 400 mg in
a capsule,or it is not pure hoodia gordonii.  I am a 48 yr. old female
and weigh 179#.  I do have a chronic illness and have gained a lot of
weight from being on prednisone, for a long time.  I am presently
tapering my dose.  I am at 7.5 mg,now.  That is a low dose.  I hope to
be off completely within 6 mos.  I have not been able take any other
diet meds, due to meds that I am on.  I was quite pleased to find a
product with no stimulants.  I would appreciate all the infor that I
can get.  I love reading testimonials.  Thank you.

Thank you Sherri for responding.

I am taking 250 mgs, one pill. It says it is pure Hoodia. Maybe I will half
the capsule and see what happens.

Thank you
Eileen

I have fibromyalgia as well, but it doesn't seem to be affecting me at
all.  There are two things I thought of.
1. There might be another ingredient in your pills causing you to feel
this way.
2. Maybe you should lower the dosage you are taking and see if the
side effects go away.

If they don't go away, your body may have a sensitivity to hoodia.
Good luck.

Hello all, new to the forum.

A friend of mine mentioned that hoodia was helping her not only with
her appetite, but with her fibromyalgia too. Since I have both
problems, I wanted to give it a try.

Day two and I don't know if it is my imagination, but I'm feeling a
little off. A little dizzy or "wonky". I have hypoglycemia, and have
made sure I am getting something to eat every few hours, but I am
wondering how much is known about this stuff?
Anyone reporting any side effects?

I have hoodia from Paradise Herbs
Thank you

I just wanted to add a side note to the above message.  If you want to
talk to me, I have Yahoo Messenger and my ID is kita_720.  I am more
than willing to help anyone out there who really wants to work on it.
God Bless All!

Hi Everyone!
First things first.  How is everyone doing this glorious, fantastic,
wonderful day?  I hope that everyone is doing well and feeling fine.
OK, on to other things!  I absolutely hate it when people want to
take the easy way out.  Losing weight for me has NOT been easy.  What
I've learned is key to ME.  What you learn is key to YOU.  I have no
intention of posting to this site about what I've done as I have
learned the hard way not to cast my pearls before swine.  As I
requested earlier, please e-mail me personally if you want to know.
But before you do, please HONESTLY ask yourself how much are you
willing to give to be where you want to be.

OK, I'm game to find out what you did.
I am currently in the size you started your weight loss journey at and
I hate it.  So, what's your secret?  My main problem (besides loving
to eat) is I don't have time or willpower to exercise.  I also have
fibromyalgia, which has a big influence on my willpower.

Do tell your secret to the group!!!

Hi Everyone!
I am a 40 year old female who weighs about 205 pounds.  I started my
journey weighing about 245 pounds last September.  I was tired.  I
had chest pains, headaches, pain in my legs and feet.  I was and
still am fat.  No beating around the bush.  Today I am loving the
changes. I've dropped from a size 24-26 to a size 16-18-20 depending
on what I wear.  I still have a long way to go, but I will accomplish
my goals. What is my goal?  My goal is to be at the most 150 pounds.
My doctor says 175, but I know I'll do better than that.  If you want
to know how I've done it, e-mail me and I'll be more than happy to
share my experiences with you.

Hi,

Hoodia. Not sure if I got a deal or not. I purchased it on
Purehoodia.com.
