Hey TOOMUCH!
In my imagination, I just see you with all your kitchen tools chasing this poor thing!
You need make a video! Honestly!

Today I almost spitted on DH (did not hear that he is near me guessing that I am alone in the room) and then started knocking - he thought that I suddenly went crazy...Asked me if I am OK and what in the world I am doing... I explained that I am on duty and can not stop until Wednesday - you should see his face...he was really worried.LOL.

So,do not let me down LOL, or he will make an appointment for me to see a shrink soon.

Best
Vasa

Congr-a-a-ats!!! Are you now - what? Skinny, mini, 169?

WHERE IS CHAMPAGNE????

I looked in my fridge, no Champagne.
Decided to salute you with Orange juice - Congrats TOOMUCH!!
Told my DH that, he salutes you too. He also said that he can only imagine what your ("poor")DH is going through...Crazy wives... Men...They always have solidarity....LOL.

Just imagined my DH with horn...ROFL!!!!!As if here is not enough spitting, salting and knocking, now this horn - major laugh! People would think that a whole family suddenly went crazy...Just priceless!!!

Anyway, Sensa rocks today like never before!!!
Keep a good work!!
Fly ahead to the new achievements!!!
Sending you hugs!

Hi TOOMUCH!
How things are going today?
Vas

Congrats TOOMUCH!
You are going to be thinner and thinner with every week coming!

The only "minus" here is that you will be forced to buy new attire every week also - I know very well how it is going. All of a sudden, your tops and pants look so buggy and frumpy,and ugly, so here you go...DH just could not understand any of it.
The "plus" here is that you would get rid of almost all your previous pieces and get a completely new wardrobe!
I brought 7 boxes to our Salvation Army store.LOL. So, all is for the better.

Sensa rocks!

It is cold here!Now it is around 46 F and on TV they promised frost at night.How about it?
I have a lot of annual flowers in my yard in full bloom, so sad that they are going to die.
I have bought a new coat couple of days ago and it was very warm that time - I thought, I will use it somewhere in October, but today I already wore it for the first time and felt very cozy.

My son came today from college and said that so many students there are sick.Is this a beginning of flu season? How it is in your area?
Auntie will get her shot of new flu vaccine in the middle of October, or she would be restricted from visiting ADC. For her it is mandatory. I am concerned a little. Want to know if somebody got this shot already, and how they feel after.Did you hear something about it?

Hope, you would have a nice event and look very nice and skinny in your new clothes.
Please, post.
Vas

LOL! Your last couple of sentences were sharp: about your mother and clothing bills!


I think, what you mother said - it is a beginning of a whole bunch of suggestions like this - but I have started to hear them much later on the program. Probably, your appearance now is very striking - the difference!- if your own mother said that. And it will be even more so for people who did not see you for the long time... I remember that sometimes it was kind of discouraging and not very pleasant because I wanted to lose more.
Be prepared and don't lose your good mood as it happened to me that time!


I tried a million coats in dept.stores, but could not find the one I liked. Finally, I bought a nice quilted coat, very light weight but warm,kind of dark olive color - ordered on-line.But I still need a real winter coat, still looking, just do not want to upset DH again LOL...

As to 7 boxes, I kept all this stuff for 10 or more years (why? nobody knows, I guess, I "felt thrifty"...LOL), and I have another 7+ of other stuff to bring, than, maybe(?), I would have a decent basement..LOL


As to me, I continue "my regimen" on Sensa but today felt "lighter" than usual again - could it be that I am losing now? Unbelievable! I did not use Sensa for 2 days! And as you probably remember, I always had this strange feeling before losing 1 or 2 pounds.We will see later...
Perhaps, after completing Sensa program, we should start thinking of writing a book - how about it? We have such an experience... 2 authors... I like especially the book-signing part LOL...

Sensa rocks!


You have wonderful rest of the week, shopping and all!
Post.
Take care

Hey guys...I'm new here. I came across this thread while searching online for reviews about Sensa, and I'm curious to hear about your experiences, if you're willing to share. It seems both of you have had good results.

Just to tell you a little bit about me - I'm a girl, 21 and in college, but I'm not looking to take off just the usual college "15." I need to, overall, take off a good 70 pounds, but I'd love to take off 30 over the next few months and keep it off. I've taken appetite supressants (prescribed to me by my doctors), and they work great...until I get taken off them and then I gain back 20+ pounds in half the time it took me to lose it all. I consider myself to have no will power OR self control when it comes to food.

I've been struggling with my weight since I was 8 years old (when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism - a disease that almost my entire family has). I had a metabolic test done this summer and found out that my body only burns 1300 calories a day naturally. They say that to lose one pound per week, you have to take 500 calories out of that. That means I would be eating 800 calories a day. I think we can agree that would not work.

So basically, I'm wondering if you'll share your stories about Sensa. I'm an unpaid intern at the moment - meaning I don't have much money to spare. Want to see if it's worth the money. Have either of you been on it longer than 6 months?

Thanks, you guys! Hope the spirit moves you to answer.

Hi Nbyevu...nice to meet you. I've got to tell you that reading your story was a little spooky. While growing up relatives would tell me that they didn't know what happened to me after the age of 7. Until then I was stick thin and after that age I "bloomed". Began putting on weight very easily. I suspect that was the beginning of the end for my thyroid too. Of course we're talking the dark ages here. I'm quite a bit older than you...mid 50's so tests for that were really very uncommon. Like you I did the diet pills and just about everything in between. When the thyroid issue was discovered it took a few years to find the right medication for me that worked to keep me awake and active to any degree ..so I'm on Armour thyroid.

Don't know what you are doing for yours but make sure you get the right help for yourself on that count. Most important thing you can do.

Now about Sensa. When I started in February of this year I weighed 217 lbs. At 5' 3 1/2 " tall that is some body. I was a huge, no pun intended, skeptic but decided to give it a go. My first two weeks were a little scarey. Having to pull out the shaker for EVERYTHING I ate was intimidating. I was a drive by snacker and a really big fan of cheesecake and cookies. I had my own version of "It's only a couple ..of cookies, chips, m&m's...what can it hurt" diet going on. I really didn't think this would help me cut down. For me it workded two way 1. It reved up my perception of what I was eating, I felt like it was more than it was and started feeling fuller on less 2. I really became aware of what I was eating. You can't not know you just snacked when you have to use Sensa again and again. I'd say it was around week 3 it kicked in for mealtime. I would be eating and there just came that moment when I really didn't want another bite and the food looked unappetizing. My husband called it the moment my pop up timer went off. He could always tell when I was done. Now he and my daughter are on it too and I know what he meant.

It works differently for everyone and not at all for some but for me it was a blessing. I now take in around the 1300 calorie mark and after losing 50+ pounds I am healthier than ever. Sensa didn't make me get active but losing the weight made me want to do more. While I always used a Gazelle, I now use a Power gym system and even get in a little free weight exercise. Not getting winded helps. I don't feel like I'm missing out on snacks or extras because if I want it I can have it but I no longer want it. Snacking mode even while stressed out is gone.

I'm starting my 9th month and I have about 20-25 to go. So this isn't a "miracle" loss product nor is it a program that doesn't teach you something, about yourself and about eating. You learn portion control and size by way of your decreasing appetite. You learn what your body is happy eating and what is too much. What you have to do while using Sensa is LISTEN to what your body is telling you. It will tell you to stop eating but you still have to put down the fork and not push passed that point. You will feel full faster on less and will feel bloated and not so hot if you push to eat more. At least that was how it worked for me and LOTS of others.

If you really want to find out more go to the trysensa site. All the usual stuff before and after trysensa. You will meet up with a load of others who will be thrilled to talk to you and a staff that will answer everything you want to know. If you have facebook try typing in Sensa in the search and you will find their page that way too. Nobody there will bite I promise. Just nice people with a wide range of stories and backgrounds.

Hope this helped a little. Like I said ... It's not a one size fits all program but it worked for me. Blew my budget tonight on new tops and a new winter coat Get all the info you need .. go check out their site... and decide from there. Good luck in anything you decide to do. Geez I'm just trying to remember what 21 felt like LOL.

Best of luck!!! If you have any questions I can answer from a Sensa user viewpoint let me know. Give a shoutout to Vasa. She is great support too.

Hey Vasa!!!!

Oh yeah I've warmed up my writing hand Too funny.

Thanks on the congrats, but it's you who needs the congratulations!!! You lost and you're not even trying. Gee I hope when I get there that it does half as well for me. Ok on the Facial Flex...that is so good to know. Will have to get one. My cheeks could use a bit of lifting, like a whole lot. I agree with you. If your skin is sagging it ages a whole lot more than a few wrinkles. A good cream can ease them up a bit.

I bought a whole lot of stuff. 7 new tops and a jacket. Stadium with a double zipper and really nice hood that can detach. Color is blackberry. Really nice and will be toasty warm. They didn't have that much left. I think everyone is expecting a cold winter. Bought 2 turtlenecks, and 2 knit sweaters plus a couple of basic everyday tops. My big find was a really nice Dana Buckman top. It's black with a really nice collar that can unbutton part way to change it's look. Snazzy buttons too. That's one for going out in. Everything was on sale too so I didn't totally break the budget.

I did yardwork like crazy the past two evenings. I have a ton of energy for some odd reason. Loving it!!! Tomorrow is going to be rainy, windy and chilly. Yuck!!!

My hubby's doc is now using Sensa. She's been thrilled with his loss. His BP is way down. She cut his meds. Can't ask for more than that.

Hope everything is going great with you. Stay warm!!! Hope Auntie and DH are doing well.

Sensa and me....perfect together!!!

Hey Vasa how ya doin'?? I officially went out and about in the 12's tonight. The middle isn't quite so bad with all the extra ab work so I braved it with one of the new tops. Looked pretty good. I would be happier if the skin bounced back easier but at 56 you can't always get your way with the body. Still need a few things but they can wait. As long as I have stuff to wear out I can wear the not quite so well fitted stuff at home.

Oh no you mentioned sorting clothing. I bet that left pile of yours is really small. I don't think it has anything to do with changing fashion kiddo you SHRUNK!! I know what you mean about shopping more come Spring. Trying hard here not to overbuy now just what is needed. Some slacks I can just belt. They are loose in the legs but hey a nice overtop and it's ok for now. You have more willpower in waiting though..send some this way. After all this the Salvation Army better send you a Christmas card!!! Hey in addition to the book and all the signing maybe we can develop a disposable clothing line We would have a solid market already!

No flu here yet. The only case I've heard of, and it wasn't the swine flu, was a nurse friend of my daughter's. She was sick for a few days. Otherwise so far so good. Oh yeah we are doing the sanitizer thing and washing hands like crazy. It's nice they've installed dispensers in the supermarkets and stuff. I always take those wet wipe things with me too. Just in case. Lets all just stay as healthy as possible. Did Auntie get here flu vaccine? I'm not sure if they've caught up to the one that is meant for folks over 50 yet. Sigh...never a dull moment.

I will give DH your congrats. His doc is really happy both for herself and him. I'm hoping he will get to the point where he doesn't need the BP meds. Would be nice.

We're due for a good cold spell next week. May have to fire up the furnace..or look at our heating bill and pull on my Snuggie LOL. My youngest picked the last couple of weeks to get a new furnace put in. Wouldn't you know there are issues. We're hoping it gets in and running before the temps dip.

Stay warm and healthy too...tell DH that spring shopping is right around the corner Post soon!!!

Sensa and me...perfect together!!!

Hey Vasa..I'm up late...or early depending on how you look at it LOL. Daughter left a little over an hour ago and I decided to finish up a cup of decaf before bed. Figured I'd check out the forum. I know you don't get on much over the weekend..if at all. Hope it was as beautiful where you are as it was here. Cool but lovely. Spent most of the time outside. Helped out my daughter with her new garden. Tilled, put in the weed blanket and planted bulbs. Lots of work and I'm sure I'll be creaky in the morning but it was great. Feels good to be able to do so much and enjoy life. Took the old clothes to the women's shelter this morning and they were wonderful. Stopped at the farm market on the way home from daughter's and picked up beautiful Acorn squash. Fixed the family a hearty meal, yapped all night and here I am. Couldn't ask for more.

Hope your weekend was great and hope to "read" you soon.


Note for Deb/Ok4ablonde...how are you making out getting your Armour? Local supermarket pharmacy here finally got in the 120's but not many. Would have thought the problem would be taken care of by now but maybe not?? Hope you are doing ok.

Sensa and me...perfect together.
