Weight Loss Using Orovo

Has anyone tried Orovo to loose weight? I've heard good review for it and ordered it but am thinking, as with most weight loss drugs, its just a gimmic. I am doing WW also but was hoping to pair it with something to increase the amount of weight I would loose and boost my energy.

What can I do next?

Hey there R., my name is M.. I have been in the process of introducing a First-on-the-Market product here to El Paso, that helps to burn inches of FAT with a 45 minute, very site specific, wrap. It is unlike all the ones in the expensive spas that create water loss, because this is actual fat loss. Here is my website and #. We've been having parties and friends are losing inches at the same time...Check it out and call me to set up a time for us to meet.
Until then,
M. ###-###-####

Hormone balancing helps with weight loss. If you have a sugar metabolism issue you can exercise all day, everyday and not lose weight. See Dr. Duve for safe natural weight loss. ###-###-####

I gained 55 pounds with my first pregnancy and then lost 75. I didn't used to exercise before I had the baby, but was so disgusted with my huge butt in the aftermath of the pregnancy, so I ordered Turbo Jam off of an informercial. It was awesome! I just loved it so much I did it about 3 or 4 times a week. There are several differrent workouts you can do. If you only have time for 20 minutes, there is a 20 min routine, there is a 20 min abs only routine, and then there are a couple longer ones. The 45 min one was really hard, I rarely did that, but the days I didn't do Turbo Jam I was taking a walk. I didn't really have to change my diet either. I looked better than before I had a baby! Seriously!
You just have to make yourself do it, and it sounds like you are a motivated woman. Good luck to you! You can do it!

I agree with the other posts endorsing WW and totally understand the desire to give a 'boost'. There are many options to give you a boost...keeping the WW your long term staple coupled with exercise and you have a winner. My book, Life is Mental: Think Thin to Live Thin, may also be helpful for you to use with WW. As a psychotherapist, I believe that mentally we can make weight loss/management harder on ourselves than it needs to be...so I give you ideas to make it easier and last for life no matter what method of weight loss you choose. www.LifeIsMental.com

Kudos to you for getting in a bike ride, that is huge! You know I put on so much weight with my pregnancy and I was feeling overwhelmed. I did do WW for a while and took off 19 pounds, but I needed more. My husband showed me this book called "The Body Sculpting Bible for Women" it is awesome. You can just check it out at Barnes and Nobles or even online if you like. You do 10 min cardio per day along with a couple reps of sit ups. You do weight training three times a week. It gives you a nutrition guide, but you are already on WW so you are good there. Anyway, there is a page by page explanation of how to do the exercises and a DVD to show you proper form should you need some help. Girl, I love it! I have now come down from an 18 to a 14 and I feel so much better. You start with a break in routine for 6 weeks, then do that routine a bit more intensely for 4 weeks, and then there are harder routines after that. It is designed so that all you need to start are a pair of light weights 5-10lbs. So you might want to take a look at it. It takes about 45min per day, but I just love the way I feel. I don't know about the supplement you were thinking of, sorry. But I toy with the idea from time to time of trying some kind of supplement, but always end up doing it the old fashioned way. Best wishes!!

There really is no such thing as a "safe" over the counter weight loss pill, or any pill that gals from these herbal companies will try to sell you (they will promise you the stars and they talk a good game, but trust me, their products are not what they appear to be and should be taken off the market. If it's not FDA approved, don't take it!!). Most of them will give you short term wieght loss at best, and you may wind up with health problems, or putting on more weight than you lost in the end. I would suggest talking to a doctor before putting any supplement in your body. Err on the side of caution.

I don't know about that drug, but I lost 40lbs just walking. I walked about an hour everyday. Now I ride my bike to keep the weight off.

Hi R.,
When I had my first child I gained over 50lbs. My second and last pregnancy I only gained 25lbs. I was still obese. When I was told that I could develop diabetes I was stunned. I love sweets and being diabetic was not acceptable for me. My beloved husband ordered me a Nordictrack treadmil and I have lost over 25lbs. I excercise five times a week and do not eat after 7pm. I drink a lot of water. I now feel guilty when I can't get on the treadmil. My sex life improved and my energy level is to the roof. Don't mess with your body by taking drugs that you don't know if they will hurt you at the end. Do it the old and effective way, execise. It takes time to see results. Please be patient and the gratifications are just priceless!

Good luck,
Elisa

If you are looking to pair your WW with something to boost your energy and increase your weight loss I would recommend that you exercise. As a personal trainer I don't recommend weight loss drugs to any of my clients because they only tend to be a quick fix and often times don't teach people healthy habits that they need to maintain long term weight loss. I know in your notes that it says that you have very little time to exercise, but small things like playing chase with your little ones, jumping on a trampoline, doing some squats/lunges/abdominal exercises while you watch tv in the evening all count! Heck, if you take the kids to the playground you can do some body weight exercises while they run around and play. Baby only wants to sit in the swing and get pushed? Push him in the swing and do lunges and jumping jacks inbetween pushes. Sure it looks silly, but I do it all the time! Studies have shown that moms who push strollers burn up to 30% more calories than women who walk without a stroller. So put the kiddos in a stroller and head outside (or walk inside the mall where it's cool), just get your heart rate up.

I haven't done it yet, but my best friend and daughter have been taking the lipo b12 shot or maybe its lipo b6 not sure my daughter had her first 2 weeks ago and has lost 5 lbs and my friend has lost 16 lbs and started 2 months ago. They go to DR. Springer in the Kroger parking lot at 290 and Spring Cypress. There is a separate sign sheet they sign up on and they have to only see the nurse to get their shot after there first visit. Its 25 dollars a shot I don't know how ofter they get it but the B12 or B6 or whatever it is, is the actual vitamin that gives you energy.

Ok, I resisted answering you, but I just can't help it. :) I have not looked at your other responses, but I would highly suggest that you just keep doing what you are doing by making good healthy choices and exercising as you can. Get a good pedometer to track your steps so it will encourage you to move more. I'm 10 years older than you and I'm JUST NOW learning good eating habits by seeing a registered nutritionist. Its amazing how much I'm learning and slowly changing my lifestyle. I've only lost 6 pounds since January, but I'm working hard and making healthy choices. Please don't do something to your body that is unnatural to lose weight if you can help it. I would think that your WW coaches are a great source of inspiration and accountability. Keep up your good work and build good habits now, so that in 10 years you'll be way ahead of the game. Best wishes!! Also, check out www.sparkpeople.com. Great web resource my nutritionist told me about.
