Skinny by Gwen
I saw something advertised in on groupon for skinny by gwen. She does all these weight loss things.
Had anyone ever gone there or heard anything about them?
I was interested in looking into some of the services but I figured I'd ask on here first.

Iris Sack - if only it truly was that simple. Did it take you long to get to your goal once you did that? Thanks - E.
Eleanor I do work out. I don't eat twinkies. I was just looking for something to help. I saw the website and was curious about it. No need to be rude.
There are 2 reviews on yelp - one positive, one negative.
I think it's not rocket science to say if you eat fewer calories than your body needs you will lose weight. Exercizing will also help to burn off calories.
The problem is, will power!!!
There are tricks you can employ --- drinking a big glass of water before a meal; eating a big bowl of low calorie soup before a meal, eating a big apple before a meal, etc.
Some nutritionists say that rotating what you eat helps to speed up metabolism -- I heard something like 2 days of low (or no) carbs - then 1 day of eating carbs - then repeat, and on the 7th day of the week, anything you want. Never tried it though.
Wasn't trying to be rude. Sorry. Its sometimes hard to read tone in writing. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that there is no quick fixes, or pill, or shake, or fad or what ever... It comes down to hard work and eating less.
If you're willing to spend money on "Gwen" look into Weight Watchers instead. You only have to go to a few meetings to learn how it works. Or maybe you can find someone to explain it to you. You make your own food and learn how to eat proper portion sizes, etc. Be more active too :)
Lori...since '73 I did some sessions. I lost an inch and then my schedule went awry and I still have two left. I definitely think it did something, but if you are largely overweight diet and exercise is your best best. I'm not a skinny mini by any means, but I do have problem areas in my stomach
Kelleo22 skinnywannabe, if Gwen is a nutritionist, give it a try. My sister and her husband used one. They got good guidance on types of food and portion size. Butter lettuce over other choices, that type of thing. Yes, you can Google it all, but a so can a depressed person just Google how to be happy, yet some sessions with a professional provide a different view and motivation. Doing it alone is not the right choice for everyone. Good luck.
maja maja I have to know, why is butter lettuce better than other choices?
Here I am eating my 50/50 spring greens and baby spinach, and thinking that's good.
hktownie Gwen is a nurse practitioner that lost 100 pounds using her own program. She uses prescription appetite suppressants and vitamin shots to help you lose weight safely and effectively. I lost 55lbs using her program after trying Atkins weight watchers and dr G her program and weekly counseling really worked. I also got Botox to help my crows feet. I can't say enough about how great they are. Gwen was so supportive and knowledgable and the staff and office are great.
Desiree Theiman @hktownie, sorry. I meant to answer sooner. Just need to stay away from the iceberg. Or mixes with it. Spinach is always a good choice. (organic or well washed) My sister likes her spinach sautéed in olive oil and light seasoning. Doesn't like it uncooked. I choose kale sometimes for the iodine. More nutritious than spinach.
JustWondering7 Has anyone tried the LipoLight and if so, did it work or is it a scam? I am thin and don't want to lose any weight, but have a little "pooch" on my lower stomach and was hoping something targeted, other than surgery (like a tummy tuck or liposuction) might actually work.
Anybody know anything about this? It seems really expensive for what it is, but if it actually works it would be a lot cheaper than surgery!
Heidi Your better off going for slimlipo. I felt lipolight only worked temporarily. SlimLipo was definitely money well spent IMO.

Challah My husband just lost 40 lbs in 45 days.......on a program that is amazing....
You can pm if interested....
Josepcan I would do your research before attempting this weight loss program. This is just one of many articles about this type of weight loss.

I suggest smart lipo. I just got mine done at sonobello. It's considered surgery but so worth it.
Blondie81 This article is about fake HCG if it's prescription used I have had many friends lose weight using it. Looked at groupon looks like over 200 were sold with good feedback so it must be somewhat popular.
