    Yeah, the lazy people just decide to get a quick way to lose weight. But they forget about not eating fast food and I’m sure there’s enough time to go for a quick walk down the road.

    Wow. Very serious concerns. I have a few friends in this and they aren’t losing shit. These things aid in weight-loss but not miracle drugs. You can’t be eating crap and taking shots and expect to get results. You probably dont even need that poison if you change your diet and do simple things like walking

    I’m pleasingly plump, cook my own healthy food for the most part and don’t eat all crazy, I wouldn’t put that in my body just to lose weight. That’s crazy!!!
