Miracleburn Diary
So this post may be a bit controversial and I'm actually a little hesitant to write it, but I'm on this new "being authentic" kick so I decided to go ahead.
Everyone knows there is no such thing as a "miracle pill" for weight loss. I know that, you know that, everyone knows that. However I have been increasingly frustrated by my slow weight loss over the last several months. I have lost 10 pounds, yes, but I have gone no further despite my continuinng running schedule, pilates and careful eating. It seems as though I have been stuck here forever. So when I see an ad in a magazine or whatever, for the latest weight loss pill, I usually will research it on the internet. Most of the time when researched outside of their own website the product seems to be nothing more than a dud. Big surprise. However I found this website called theskinnyondiets.com and it seems to be a non-biased website that reveiews every diet and pill known to man. Most of all the diet pills I looked at did not have very good reviews. They did however at the bottom of their screen have one that they did recommend. I understand that this could also be a big marketing ploy, but I guess we'll see. So I looked at their review of a product called Miracleburn. I then went to their website. If their website is full of lies, then they did a wonderful job at it. There is picture after picture and story after story about people who have lost weight with this pill. The "big breakthrough" is that it has hoodia in it which has been proven to curb appetite as well as another product that is supposed to burn fat. Most pills only have one or the other. They also promise a $10 gift card to your chosen store and a free 7 day trial. (You only have to pay for shipping.) So I guess I figured I could try it for 7 days and see what happens. If it's a total crock, at least I come out about $1.20 ahead because of the gift card. So I'm not totally wasting money, right? Well, I got my trial a couple days ago and so far I'm happy because they did in fact send the gift card. I am going to run a daily journal about what happens every day to see if anything changes. I will post my results and journal at the end of the 7 day trial. Stay tuned for the results.

Be careful, Kristi! Those diet pills, and claims to fame are scary...If I were you, I'd invest my money in Shaklee soy protein, and their new weightloss program, called Cinch. I love the chocolate flavored soy drink, and though I haven't tried the cinch products, I have heard they are great for weightloss. I have increased energy from the soy, and it's giving me muscle mass when I exercise...plus a miriad of other benefits. Email Tamara if you'd like more info...I care about your health, and wouldn't want any negative stuff to interefere!! :)

See..I told you it would be controversial! Thanks for the suggestion. I did email Tamara. I have looked into those products a bit and will consider them..but it's so expensive. Around $200 a month!

oh my! I didn't realize how expensive it would be!!...I'm not trying to "nag", or be too controversial here...it's just that after phen phen, and all of those other drugs, it does stir up some worry. Good luck though, and remember, you're beautiful no matter how large or small your size!!

I remember you mentioning that your clothes fit better too - you are building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, so if you weren't exercising, you might have seen more pounds drop off, but not look as good! :) Helped? Probably not, but it was worth a try!

Ok, give us the scoop! Your last post looks like it was March 20, 2007 and you were just beginning the Miracleburn. How did it, or is it going? Inquiring minds want to know!!
