My opinion? Save your money. ;)

I agree with meg the one thing I notice when I see that commercial is that anna nicole doesnt even look any Lighter! She looks more like she is wearing a body girdle. My hubby said the same thing but I don't think that any of those OTC supplements work. Its all about exercise and eating right :) btw welcome to 3fc :wave:

thanks to all
 
Hi and thanks for the info... I know that diet supplements aren't the way to go, but I guess its hard not to resist sometimes when you see all of these infommercials where people look great from it.. I just dont understand how all these companies can get away with marketing these products!!! They make it all sound so easy and then when you actually try them, they make you feel worse than when you started!!! I guess I just need to be more patient with doing things on my own!!!
Thanks All

I tried Trim Spa and it does not work. I got my $$ back because I purchased it at GNC.

Body Girdle? Where are those purchased? I would have loved to have had one for my wedding in April!!!!!! Surely they don't make you look that trim? I saw her on Jay Leno and she was down right skinny!

NYCT1981 08-09-2004 10:33 AM

Anna Nicole definitely lost A TON of weight - even more now. But I doubt it had to do with trim spa... AND she hates to exercise. so what is the only thing left? yes yes... starving! i read someplace (probably a trashy mag, lol) that she barely ate anything.

MrsJim 08-09-2004 12:02 PM

I think what Anna Nicole SAYS she does and what she actually DID to lose the weight are two different things. Of course since she's a paid spokesperson for TrimSpa, along with having her image of being a total airhead, she's going to say that she didn't exercise and the pills made her not want to eat...because that's what people want to hear - effortless weight loss, pills making you not eat, not having to exercise...

MichelleRae 08-09-2004 02:10 PM

I guess the only time I've seen her is in the trimspa commercials and to me she just didn't look thin it appeared (IMHO) that she had a girdle on lol. I must confess that I wear tummy sucking undies when we get dressed up to go somewhere it makes me not look so lumpy lol

Terry I got a bone corset and girdle panties when I got married not too comfortable but I didn't have any lumps or unsightly bulges :) here I'll post a pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...os/mezhaun.jpg

Maybe I'm disallusioned by the enchantment of my wedding but I didn't feel fat at all that day lol and although of course you can see that I was "thicker" in the middle I didn't look horrid lol. Anyway when planning a wedding you definately get your exercise in running around like a chicken with your head cut off :) Ok sorry to get off topic. You may now return to your regularly scheduled program......

StarPrincess 08-09-2004 03:46 PM

Michelle - OMG you look absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love the dress!!!

Sweater Girl 08-09-2004 04:37 PM

Michelle: ITA with Star Princess, you are stunning!

Cheers!

MichelleRae 08-10-2004 02:38 AM

Well thank you guys sooo much!! Your compliments made me feel good :) I appreciate it. Hubby and I have decided that when I reach my goal weight we are going to have a very small vow renewal ceremony and I get to wear my dress again but RESIZED!!! I can't wait, it will be like hubby marrying a whole new me so it will consumate my weight loss and my marriage vows :) I'm sooo looking forward to it :)

TerryT 08-10-2004 10:49 AM

Hi Michelle, that is a very nice picture, thanks for sharing. I wore a bustier and a "waist nipper", but in some of my pics you can still see my tummy and I was thinking later, what else could I have worn to make me look slimmer. I wanted go to one of the photo programs and "doctor" around with the pics to make me look slim and trim......LOL

3fcuser1058250 08-11-2004 10:55 PM

Michelle -- You look stunning!! What a nice couple you make!

MichelleRae 08-12-2004 02:39 PM

LunaValkyrie 08-13-2004 02:56 PM

I was almost about to try trimspa.. I just cancelled my order though, thanks to this site O_o/ BTW Thats a gorgious dress... and a lovely lady in it :) You look so happy!

bella23 08-18-2004 10:37 PM

LOL I should have read this first, I got a bottle of trimspa that i can not take back. O'well, I'll take it for the 15 day's and then see what happen

evy 08-26-2004 05:33 PM

trimspa
 
Hi Gang, I am new to this web site. I did buy some of the Trimspa. After getting it home and reading it, well, what it says is to be sure to drink with a FULL glass of water or you may choke. Well, those directions sounded all to familiar to me. It sounds just like fiber pills. (my doc said I should take fiber pills 2x's per day for good measure) Well, as far as I can tell, that is mostly what it is. I suppose the theory is that if you take about 1/2 hour before eating, you'll be somewhat full from the fiber swelling in your belly and you'll eat less. It is a big waste of money. If that is all it does, (and I think it is) then you can buy fiber pills for a LOT less. Anyways, it is just my experience with this product.

Evy ;)

Morning_Star 10-09-2004 08:52 AM

I took it for a few days, as directed on the label and I stayed nauseous. So, sure, it controlled my appetite alright! A little too well :)

I quit after a few days of that, and continued to have various stomach upsets for TWO WEEKS after I had stopped. :mad:

I honestly don't reccommend it.

Leenie 10-09-2004 09:12 AM

The best thing to use to make our bellies feel full is an all natural, new and improved, better than ever, guarenteed or your money back, big bowl of VEGGIES !!!!! followed by a nice glass of water.......yes folks, its true, its amazing, revolutionary !!

Imagine that. ;)

marykaylady 10-25-2004 09:08 AM

I took Trimspa and I felt fine. I was about to go and take a second one before lunch, I was at work and all of a sudden I started to get this blinded spot in my vision. It kept on growing until I couldn't see at all. I was so upset. I called my husband to come and get me from work to take me to the doctors. My vision did return to normal within an hour and then on came the worst migrain headache I have ever had. My doctor did say that some medicines and "diet" pills can do that. I never took another one. It just wasn't worth it.

MaryKayLady

Jennifer 3FC 10-25-2004 11:30 PM

Marykaylady, what a bad experience! I'm glad you are ok now.

Morning Star - Thanks for the flashback! I have a friend from high school waaaaaay back that always said Hootie Hoo! I just got all warm and fuzzy reading your sig. Thanks. ;)

Nirvanagurrly 12-15-2004 11:17 AM

I tried Trimspa one time
 
My neighbor friend had bought some and didnt like it, so she was like you want the rest of this and I was like oh sure, what the heck, and took one

heh..It made me hungry as heck, I kid you not, I ended up pigging out..
so I didnt try it again:)

I saw Anna Nicole back when this all first happened on Larry King and you know how she talks like she is stoned off her gourd and is really slow and stuff, well She was trying to answer Larry's question of exactly how she lost weight, she kept saying Trim Spa, but when he went more direct to like what was her actual adverage daily meals like, she kept saying over and over again umm well I didnt eat much, I forgot to eat, and finally she said her breakfest was a apple or something like that..

Well when I tried it, trust me there was more then just a apple being consumed..lol

I think miss Anna might of had a lil blow or crack with her trim spa baby:)
Is what I think:)

aphil 12-22-2004 11:36 AM

Yeah...Anna is not the sharpest crayon in the box. :lol:

My husband thinks she is absolutely gorgeous...but in a "shut up honey...just sit there and look pretty" sort of a way. :rofl:

She doesn't look to me like she did much in the exercise department...in the TrimSpa commercial with her and the guy wet rolling around on the beach...her arms are pretty jiggly/flabby. Probably just a "starvation diet".

After her ups and downs financially...she has money, then she doesn't, she has more money, then she doesn't...(I am sure she blows every cent she gets and all of her accountants and assistants take advantage of her, um, not being so smart in that area...) I am sure TrimSpa offered her a job as a spokeswoman for some cash and she just jumped on it to get another paying gig. JMHO.

deepfried 12-27-2004 10:17 AM

Did anyone check out Anna Nicole on the AMA show a few months ago? She was as high as a kite :dizzy: She was discheveled, could hardly walk and was slurring her words. It was embarrasing. I think her spokesperson said her legs hurt which is why she couldn't walk straight. She's not a good representative for Trimspa in my humble opinion.

aphil 12-27-2004 11:55 AM

Actually...I think she's perfect for it. :rofl:

Jibbelle 12-28-2004 07:26 PM

I had a friend in college who developed a cocaine habit and lost about 100 lbs....I have a feeling that Nicole is on a similar diet as my friend!!! : )

Marcie

PS. My friend is clean now....and not so skinny.

deepfried 12-29-2004 05:35 PM

The scuttlebutt that's been around for a few months is that Anna Nicole actually had gastric bypass surgery. This definitely makes more sense with her drastic and FAST weight loss than a dubious pill :lol: . I also heard Trimspa paid for her surgery.

Derek 01-06-2005 07:50 PM

Aphil, I thought the same thing about the exercise. Her skin looks really flabby, showing me that she lost all of that weight in such a short period of time that her skin was unable to reshape. I'm not sure how the whole Trimspa works, but i'll tell anyone that diet pills are not the way to go. Even if they may work, they're all dangerous, and after you stop taking them, you'll gain the weight back faster than you can say "Diet and Exercise".

shoegirl 01-06-2005 11:44 PM

Is anyone thinking about entering the trimspa makeover contest?
I started using the product 7 days ago and have lost 8 pounds.

sugarholic 01-08-2005 07:03 PM

Anna is very skinny now, no girdles I saw her in a bathing suit and she looks great. However we have to remember first of all she's a pill junky which helps suppress the appetite and second of all she's a gold digger, someone waived a couple million in her face and she starved herself for it. Not to mention she has personal chef's, trainers, probably liposuction and some skin work because there is no way her skin can be as tight as it is from the weight she was before. And she is surrounded by assistants constantly telling her not to eat this or that. I tried Trimspa and it did suppress my appetite for like an hour then when it wore off I was extra hungry. The rest of it is still in my closet rotting away. I've heard her say several times that she doesn't even care about food anymore, and I've also heard she's back on pain killers. A real pill junky doesn't want to eat after they take their pills because they don't want to ruin their buzz. She's pretty, but a horrible representative, some even say a heroin addict, which after watching her show I can totally believe.

fribbit 01-11-2005 10:28 AM

Hi shoegirl... I am going to try the trimspra contest.. Is anyone else going to do the contest too??? we need to keep track of each other.. so let us know if you are doing it too.. Why is everyone dishing Anna Nicole Smith??? She has lost alot of weight, and if you look at her now.. she is starting to exercise.. She is very pretty now.. a little too thin,, but who wouldnt want people to tell them that they are too thin??? rather than too fat.. As to the way she acts.. to each his own.. not everyone is the same.. Evidently she is doing something right, because she looks really great and has lots of money..
I sure would like that..

aphil 01-11-2005 11:10 AM

Yep...she's doing something right, alright. :lol:

Taking advantage of a rich, lonely old man...making most of her money by taking off her clothes (Playboy centerfold and videos-plus being a stripper in her younger years), her tv show where all she did was get paid to make a complete fool of herself...and now signing a contract with a diet pill company-my guess is that Trimspa "chose" her because her weight problem is very public-and her motivation to lose that weight was a big load of cash. The only "real" modeling contract she had that was worth anything was with Guess Jeans...and she screwed that up years ago.
Yep...I could have a lot of money too...if I threw all my self respect out the window as she has done. ;)

MrsJim 01-11-2005 12:07 PM

Anna Nicole Smith in one word: BIMBO - although that might be considered an insult to all the other bimbos out there... :rolleyes:

I did watch a couple episodes of her E! show...she does have a pretty face once a professional makeup artist spends an hour on it. Without makeup she just looks like worn out trailer trash.

And her 'presentation appearance' recently on the music awards show (I think it was the Billboard Awards - didn't watch the show, but caught her 'wasted out of her mind' um, performance on the news SEVERAL times the next day) didn't exactly make me think any more highly of her...not to mention her public accusation of accusing the judge of taking a bribe when her $88M judgement was recently overturned by the Court of Appeals...yeah, that's real classy...NOT.

ANS is definitely a train wreck...it doesn't surprise me in the least that a scuzzy diet pill company would use her as their spokesperson...any publicity is good publicity I suppose!

deepfried 01-11-2005 12:09 PM

Sorry but Anna Nicole couldn't formulate a coherent, drugless thought if she really tried. Her drugged out, classless behavior is WAY over the top! Her whole persona and rumors of gastric bypass alone doesn't make me ever want to try Trimspa. Never mind the fact that it doesn't work.

fribbit 01-11-2005 12:21 PM

You may have your opinion.. but like i said everyone is different and that is what makes the world go around.. but to dish someone you dont even know.. most people who put other people down is just jealous of them and I guess maybe it makes them feel better about themselves by doing it.. Does it matter how she lost the weight.. that is why there are so many kinds of diets people are on and each one of them think that their diet is better than the others.. but what counts is that the weight is off and hopefully she will eat healthy to keep it off.. but like i said everyone is different and chooses the way they live, and act but that is their choice.. and i still think she looks great.. and I would still love to look like her.. she maybe kooky but that is just her and her personalilty ... more power to her, and everyone else on the diet of their choice..and hopefully everyone will succeed.. :D

MrsJim 01-11-2005 12:32 PM

Well, you know, that's the price people pay to be a 'celebrity'...no one is forcing her to go out in public and act like an idiot.

JEALOUS? ANS is the LAST person in the world I would be envious of (despite the TrimSpa slogan "be envied"). I'm not putting her down, I'm stating facts, as is Aphil. Even if I looked like Quasimodo, I'd still rather be Quasimodo than ANS.

Actually, YES, I think it DOES matter how she lost the weight. If she was being private about it, that would be one thing, but she's definitely what I would call an AH (Attention Ho). Kooky is a term I would give to people like Carol Burnett, Goldie Hawn, etc., but I wouldn't call ANS 'kooky' any more than I would call any other brainless druggie 'kooky'.

And I think I can safely say that MY diet is better than her diet - which according to her interview on Larry King, consisted of eating basically nothing all day, and not exercising. (hmmm sounds like a druggie to me...)

'Nuff said about ANS...

Just as an aside...you and shoegirl ought to hook up, since coincidentally you're both store owners who live in OK according to your profiles. ;)

fribbit 01-11-2005 01:21 PM

like I said everyone has their own opinion, and to each his own.. but you say you are not putting her down,, calling her an attenion ho, isn't?????hmmmm.
when people put other people down, it is usually cause they are jealous or envious of that person, to make them feel better about themselves.. I was just asking why everyone is so hard on her..gheeeezee..you may think one thing and I may think another,, but that is your choice and mine.. you sure know alot about her and what she has done... to totally despise her.. I think everyone is equal and shouldnt put other people down..when you dont even know them... you sure put it to people hatefully..great Attitude sure makes a person beautiful inside and out..... I did look at your profile too and your picture looks great..very pretty, congrads on your weightloss... weight watchers???

aphil 01-11-2005 02:04 PM

Well...for me-the reason I know so much about ANS is because every time I turn on the freakin' tv. :lol:

As far as "being envious or jealous of her" and that being why someone puts her down...NOPE. Here are the women I am envious/jealous of...and would like to be more like:

~Carolena of Fat Chance Belly Dance~
She is a one woman business owner who popularaized her own version of belly dance and costuming-called American Tribal Style. (www.fcbd.com)

~Dalia Carella~ She has made her own style of belly dance as well, called Dunyavi Gypsy-utilizing many dance forms taken from Turkish Rom (Gypsy) influences, as well as Indian influences. I had the wonderful opportunity this past fall of studying with her and performing in a show that she was also in. (www.daliacarella.com)

~Trisha Biggars~ She is the costume designer for the newer Star Wars movies and does some astounding costume design-I have also had the priviledge of taking a costume seminar with her, and seeing her astounding work in person.

These are just a few...I also admire my mother greatly-who is a survivor of living with an alcaholic/physical and mental abuser. She has turned her life around-went back to school as an adult and is now a nurse.

I also admire actresses who have self respect and pride in themselves...and don't have to act like bimbos or take their clothes off to get attention. I like and admire women who are beautiful-but use their talents and intelligence rather than their looks to get where they want to go.

Sure-I can use my boobs to get what I want, but I would rather use my brain and abilities. ;)

aphil 01-11-2005 02:16 PM

I also find it interesting that fribbit and shoegirl are both from Oklahoma...both joined 3FC this month...both are ONLY posting on the Trimspa thread...and promoting the Trimspa contest that was never mentioned here before now...and both are store/boutique owners in their profiles. Wow...that is one HECK of a coincidence, let me tell you.

*looks to see if "stupid" is stamped on her forehead somewhere. *

It sure and the heck matters how ANS lost her weight! I'm willing to bet a months' salary it wasn't from Trimspa OR exercise!

Obese folks are vunerable to rapid weight loss product scams that don't work. I'm tired of seeing these scams profit off of the millions of desparate people that are willing to try anything to lose weight. :mad: Anna Nicole has no morals or scrupples whatsoever. She doesn't give a rat's behind about the health and well being of obese people. All she cares about is a quick buck in order to buy more drugs to stick up her nose. I sincerely hope she gets help for her blatant chemical dependecy problem.
