Aloha and thank you! I was seriously considering purchasing slimforce7 but thought I'd better research it and found this thread. It's all I needed to know. I guess we are always hoping for that magic pill........there just isn't one. Eating right, exercising, detoxing, drinking water and keeping a great attitude really work over time. What a great bunch of people here. I'm very goal oriented. My goal is to take off 30 lbs before summer. With your support and my hard work, I think I can........I know I can.

Enjoy life everyday!

Greetings everyone. I too read the ad in First Magazine and thought maybe this is the one. I received my order today, then thought to see if there was some feedback about the product. That is how I ran across this group. After reading the posts I am soooo sorry I did not do a bit of research before ordering I will be contacting the customer service folks to request a refund as well as contacting my bank. BUMMER! Dieting, exercise, and watching the portions of what you are eating are truly the only way to lose weight. I know this, but I was still hoping for that miracle pill that would do the work for me.

Hi Ladies. I did order Slimforce 7 and it did not work at all. I did not loose any weight whatsoever. In fact I think that is has caused me an infection in my colon. I have been constipated for almost 1 week and had to go to the doctor to get myself checked out. My body is very receptive to any medication but now whatever the doctor has recommended me is not working. I cannot say that it was caused by Slimforce 7 100%, but it definetely had something to do with it. I only took it for 8 days but I began to not feel well so I stopped taking it after that is when I developed this infection, please be careful with it.

Its been three weeks and I have finaly heard back via email from slim force 7 about a refund and they said i would get a check in the next few days so we will see.....It took me threatening with an attorney to get any action to begin with. After reading the posts on this site i am so glad that i didnt take it. So now i am just going to try the WII fit and hope for the best.. I will keep you posted on how long it takes to recieve my refund check

tamber,

Acai is the latest scam in diet pills. Acai itself isn't a scam but weight loss pills are using it to advertise themselves. Acai is a berry with lots of good antioxidants in its natural form. Even in its natural form, there is no proof that it helps with weight loss. The issues is that foods in their natural form, don't translate well into the pill form so you can take an 'acai' pill but there is no guarantee that you are getting any of the good stuff that you'd get from eating the berry itself. So basically the diet pills with acai is just the same old diet pill but adding an acai extract to make it 'new and different' when it just the same old pill.

Thumbs down hindsight is 20/20

I fell for the Slim Force add in First magazine and placed my order on 2/16 with the promise of receiving it in 7-10 business days. After the tenth day I sent an email to customer service to inquire. I was sent an email stating that "my order should arrive in the next days"--I received my order today, 19 days later. In a home packing with no professional label and no information inside except the pill packages (all written in a foreign language!) Not fast service at all. I unfortunately did not read the posts before now--this would have been helpful and $$ saving! I'm planning to just return it and not even try it. After working so hard to lose weight (eating healthy --fruits, whole grains, protein, etc. walking 3 miles per day, and drinking enough water to float a small boat!!) I thought it might be worth a try, but obviously not!! I'm thinking--is my lack of weight loss from stress? Anyway, I will keep up with the healthy eating and exercise and hope that one day it will make a difference!! No more falling for rediculous diet pills.

Question Slimforce 7

Hi,

I too have been considering buying this product and now am finding my self a little discouraged by everyones post.
The one thing I noticed that is common amongst everyone who has tried it and got no results is, no one has mentioned if they have were drinking the 10-12 glasses of water a day required? which is what they say you have to do in order for the pill to work.
Are the people who are not seeing any results drinking the 10-12 glasses of water a day?

Thanks

chic - Most weight loss advice includes drinking plenty of water. Sometimes drinking 8 or more glasses per day of water alone can help people lose some weight.

I bought the slim force.
I have tried it for three weeks
I have gained 3 1/2 pounds.
I use to have a hard time losing but I was not gaining.
I ordered the 30 day supply but I ended up getting 60.
I feel bloated all the time and uncomfortable.
I weight in every week on Monday. I will weigh in again this Monday but then I think I will quit them.
I am interested to know other people's experience. I take one every morning and nothing else is different but the weight gain.
Donna

So like many of you I too ordrered the slimforce7 in hopes that I could lose weight fast without much effort. Now I think about it 1/2 lb in 8hrs, what was I thinking? It really is too good to be true. If a person could really lose a lb or 2 a day, I'm sure the stuff would cost thousands of $$. Like someone said earlier the packaging was a bit suspicious, didn't give a whole lot of info and frankly looked generic or homemade...not very professional! But the stubborn and desperate person that I am went ahead and tried them. I guess I still have some hope even though it doesn't look good. I'm on day three right now and no difference. I do feel a bit more peppy but I did notice that my hand was shaking when I held a piece of paper. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted on my progress or not...

Default Chalk up one more for SlimForce7

At 53, my metabolism seems to have up & left me! I was @ 150 & lookin' good for 13 yrs. after losing 50 pounds. Four years later & an ex-boyfriend I allowed to fatten me up, the prospect of doping it all over again is quite daunting. I also follow a work & school schedule. Here;s where SlimForce7 sounded good - I was hoping for a boost to my metabolism & energy to get my butt out there again. I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude about all of this - but I also hope that I'll be able to get the refund IF/WHEN I see no positive results. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this site!
