I should mention my trick was not simply diet and excersize.. I don't eat junkfood candy or sweets. I started taking these pills:
www.sweetsecretions.com and the weight started coming off as my metabolism started kicking up and my hormones started balancing. For a lot of people with weight problems, hormones are as much a contributing factor as anything.
The best part about the pills is they are 100% natural. I've taken them for a year now and I went from having to have an emergency hystorectomy to being completely normal (more normal than even before having kids). The added side-effects (being that the pills also clarify toxins from your system) are GREAT!
My husband also takes them daily and he's lost 45 pounds now. They aren't diet pills, they just help the process along. And make bedroom time more fun too! I wouldn't even consider saying it if I hadn't tried them myself and seen the results over the last year. I didn't even start taking them to lose weight, I took them for my hormones, but every person I've recommended them to has had just as good results as we have. Well worth it
