i don't think slim quick is meant to be a "quick fix" (despite the name). BELIEVE ME - i know there's no other way to lose weight other than diet and exercise. i've learned that and i reached my goal last year after some very hard work. and i too tried different kinds of diet pills over the years and none of it worked the way calorie counting, drinking water and regular exercise did. but now it seems that those 6 or 7 pounds i've gained back over the past year are being very stubborn and no matter what i do they won't go anywhere. i'm not willing to starve myself so i'm hoping this little change will help kickstart something positive. it's not an appetite suppressant. that is one ingredient in it because we all know that doesn't hurt anything, but more than that i think it helps specifically women with the things that go against us in losing weight. and like i said before, i'm just trying it to see if it helps. if it doesn't, no big thing. i'll just keep trying harder!!!!! right now i'm just taking the caplets to see how those affect me.
i got this off the website:
Let's face it women lose and gain weight differently from men. For one, hormonal differences between the sexes can cause body fat to settle in different areas. Likely problem spots for women are the hips, thighs and buttocks whereas men usually carry excess weight in their abdominal and waist area. And when it comes to losing weight, men typically have a larger, leaner body mass than women, enabling them to burn more calories. SLIMQUICK gives women an advantage on weight loss thats tailor-made just for them.
At SLIMQUICK Laboratories, our team of experts has discovered that by tackling specific ways women have trouble losing weight, SLIMQUICK can help women achieve notable weight loss. Each product is precisely balanced for a womans body. The products contain key ingredients which are clinically tested to help achieve weight-loss results.

wave2: Hi Sandy!). The choices are really hard sometimes. Sometimes they aren't hard at all. I do find that I often "crave" good stuff now (A spinach salad actually sounds really good right now!), but of course, there are times when I want bad stuff too. For example, this week we are going to a U of I hockey game on Saturday, and I desperately want a hot dog at the game. I'm going to plan my food that day to allow room to have the hot dog. We went to a game a week ago, and I didn't have one that time because I hadn't planned for it. I'm not always good about making these choices, but I've been doing well lately, and it's showing on the scale, and I'm sticking with it. I have had success. Unfortunately, I slip sometimes (gained back about 10 lbs over the holidays), and the closer to goal I get, the slower the weight loss comes. But I'm still plugging away. I do come home from work 3 nights a week and put in an hour of time on the treadmill and bike combined. I walk for 30 minutes a day on my lunch hour with a friend. And I try to get in another hour on the bike/treadmill on the weekend too. And I've been working at this for almost 2 and a half years now. But I think I will see my initial final goal weight this year. There, I said it! 
Now you all have to hold me to it. I'm working hard because I'd really like to hit that goal (or get really close to it) by the time we leave for our May trip. I've been reading a lot about motivational tools on SparkPeople today. Can you tell from this post? 
WTG Lynda on the excersise!!
