  • Trying to find supplements -- Elizabeth, 13:04:28 09/12/02 Thu
    Just found this message board, thought somewhere here might be able to help me. I come from a very overweight family, my mother is over 100 pounds over weight. We joked when I was a kid because I was so skinny, like I was adopted. But now as an adult, i look back and realize as a child I hated bread. I would not eat a sandwhich, pizza, or any item that I claimed was "to bready". Once I reached high school, I started gaining weight, and this was when I discovered other foods like doughnuts and pastries and such that I would not eat as a child, since they were a flour product.

    I gained about 25 pounds, which for those of you who are struggling with alot of extra weight, I know that is not much. But in high school, it felt like my life was over. I went on Jenny Craig, weight watchers and so on. Lost weight, gained it back. This continued through my marriage, and once I got pregnant with my first child, for some reason I lost a ton of weight. I came out after having my first child weighing 10 pounds less than before pregnancy, and once I nursed I lost even more. Now 3 children later, I am at some of my lowest weight ever.

    Looking through my past I realize it is all based on my consumption of white flour and sugar. My weight goes up when I include those items. I can not say I am on a low carb diet cause I eat rice, brown rice,oatmeal, couscous, corn,potatoes and all of that. I just dont eat any processed white flour or sugar. Ok.. I lied, I do eat cake on a brithday or some french bread if we go out for italian, but I dont keep these products in my home.

    OK... now that I have told a long story. My question.

    I also found I can control my weight and stay at about 110 and a size 3, with 2 products. One is a supplement that gives me some energy, not sure if this really help with weight loss, but it makes me feel good. And also a product called Appitol. This controls my appetite and I really dont eat breads, and I really dont want them. If I dont take this, I really crave breads and pastas and such. On days I do crave any white flour I also include a product called Carbitol, which contains banaba, which makes carbs not taste so good, or so this is how it makes me feel.

    My problem is I currently get these products from a MLM company. I do not want to have to belong to a MLM to get these items. Does anyone know of similar products, where can I get them? without the high cost of belonging to MLM and monthly orders, or without having to buy them at retail from a person in the MLM. Can I get something similar from a health food store? and what would it be under?

    The ingredients in Appitol are- vegetable Cellulose, griffonia seed (I love this item, hard to find)

    and in carbitol is- phaseolus vulgaris seed (what is this?), Gymnena sylvestre leaf, banaba leaf

    Has anyone heard of these types of products, or a similar combo with simliar results in any over the counter products that do not have the $40 each price tag. Thanks for any assistance. I have searched all over online with no results.

    Liz :)

  • DIET AND EARN EXTRA CASH -- NINA, 11:12:03 09/03/07 Mon
    Millionare in just a few weeks


    Dear Internet User,This is a simple formula on how to Turn $6.00 into $60,000...read this to find out how!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board like this one and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through several newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are millions) No catch, which was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! SUGGESTION: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue it's success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. ~~~>HERE ARE 4 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTED<~~~ STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope ( Please make sure that the bill wouldn't be noticed in the envelope to prevent thievery). Send out US $ DOLLAR, so it would be more acceptable. STEP 2: Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them properly. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the phrase, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.", your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting for a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses below:






    1) Janine Williams 99-02 207st Jamaica,Ny11429

    2) Josh Lathan 112 1st street Montgomery, AL 36110

    3) Elizabeth Young 1057 Marlboro Road Bennettsville S.C. 29512

    4) Jasmine reece 99-02 207st QueensVillage ,NY11429

    5) Brandy Brackin 8898 Shreck rd. Bartow ,Fl 33830

    6) SHONTA 231 Curly Lane Bennettsville S.C.29512

    STEP 3: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 4: Copy this article. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 2.4million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, US Postal and Lottery Laws or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of Federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which states; "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." The simple note in the letter, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST", makes it legal because you are paying for exchange of a service, (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a $1.00 fee. : Keep a copy of these steps for your self and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ~~~>DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS<~~ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your mouse cursor at the beginning of this letter, click and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, right click and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your mouse cursor at the top of the blank page. Right click and from the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name and postal address to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)You can post anywhere!!! There are tons of free bulletin boards if you just look for them!! Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the "post" message button. You're done with your first one! NOTE: Please don't SPAM or send unsolicited emails. It's completely illegal. Send emails to all the people you know or any ways that allows you to, instead of SPAMMING.( Just a reminder). Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about a minute for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

    *Now the WHY part; Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still ONLY 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet

  • New -- Jen, 07:12:30 07/31/02 Wed
    I am brand new to low carb dieting. Did a little study, some research. Not sure I am using a certain "diet", just watching my carbs, keeping them under 20. Lots of meat, some dairy, trying to get the veggies in there. Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully make some new friends as I am sure that I will need the support. I weight 217 as of yesterday and would like to get down to 145 by my birthday which is next may. Don't know if I can but it is still a nice goal right?

  • Hello Everyone -- Marci, 17:35:06 08/05/02 Mon
    This is my first day on a LC diet. I came across this web site and thought I would give it a try. I need all the the support I can get. I need to loose at least 100 pounds. I have dieted many times to where I lost and gained it all back and then some. Weekends are hard for me,I tell myself i'm going to have just one cookie and get back on my diet the following day. Never happens,I eat and eat till I satisfy all my cravings..then hate myself after.
    I hope this time will be different. Wish me luck and I'll write again soon.

  • Is it normal to feel weak? -- jaytee, 22:57:54 08/10/02 Sat
    Hi all

    I've been on Atkins 3 weeks and I've felt great up until the past 2 or 3 days. I live in a two story house and it is getting increasingly difficult to climb the stairs. My legs are getting weaker every day. I still feel mentally alert and energetic, but the body is not cooperating. Should I add something to my diet or take any certain supplements? And if the muscles in my legs are getting weak, what's happening to my heart? I was very happy with this diet up until this latest development.

    jaytee
