This is my first week so I can only say so much. But the difference Ive noticed within the first 3 days is the energy level. It has really given me a boost. I use to nod off as soon as I sat on my couch cause I was spreading myself too thin. After 3 days I was feeling great, and even had to make myself go to bed some nights even though I was no longer over exhausted. And I dont feel "Jittery" or "wired" the way having too much coffee tends to.

I am unsure of the wight lost yet cause I just started so I will add on that aspect later. But I do follow the booklet thats included in the box. Its tells you how to exercise without strain, and eat healthy while taking the drink. It says to walk every other day and increase your walk roughly by 5-10 min ea. day. Ex: Mon-15min, skip tues, weds-25min and so forth.

I do admit it also curbs hunger. I went to mcdonalds and got a grilled chicken with no mayo or any fillers like that and I could only eat 3 bites. I wasnt hurngry at all so I fed the rest to my aunts dog! Many women complain it made them hungery but I learned that happes when you wait too long after the drink to get something to eat, then the tummy rumble comes in full force and its very uncomfortable cause its more intense. Eat within an Hr to an Hr & a 1/2 and you should be fine.

And lastly the taste is not bad but if its unbarable adding another 4 oz helps kick it down a notch but to get the full effect I use the reccomended 16oz. It has an ok taste, that almost similar to a sugar free, "light", or sugar substitue drink ( like with splenda/equal/sweet & low)well thats what it would taste like if your use to pure grain sugar like myself. The after taste is non existing if you can chug down big gulps at a time oppose to sippig it real slow to avoid the taste stayin on your tounge - thats when it get nasty. Oh & the colder the water the better & easier it is to go down the hatch! Well thats my findings so far - Good luck ladies, I will meet u at the slim line! :-)

(Well I been on it 4 days already and as of 8/24/08 I lost 3.5lbs)

Quick update: I have stopped taking this drink in June of this year (2009). The weight loss was pretty good, while taking this and changing my diet I did lose a total of about 35lbs which was way more than I wanted to lose but the extra didnt hurt. I stopped because I didnt want to lose too much weight and be a rail. Anyway I eased myself off the drink because a sudden decline or an abrupt stop in any diet supplement makes your weight come back X's 2!! So be careful. I exercised a little more than often while weinning myself off the stuff. I have gained back 5lbs of the 35 but thats because I stopped but thats minor, it couldve been more so Im goin to shut up about that part. Now that I am back to usual I still maintain my diet and I exercise faithfully at the gym with a trainer. Ive been maintaining my weight so far.

I am now addicted to this berry drink! When I first drank it, my mood became more happy and positive, I had lots of energy, which enabled me to get out and do some exercise. No heart racing either. Now I drink it before I exercise and almost every day with my daily water intake. Can be watered down to reduce the energy level - great to wake up in the a.m. instead of coffee. Can't say better things about it - always sold out in the stores so have to buy on Amazon.

i bought a box of the powder 3wks ago. i like it. it does what it says. i havent lost pds on it but my water weight is gone and my skin looks smoother with no dimmples. i feel skinny on it and my cloths are hanging off of me. i probley have lost in. but i havent measured yet. im 152 and my goal is 145. when i take it im down to 150 and when i dont 152 ( water weight). i dont like the slimequick extream didnt work. no energy and still hungry. left a review for them too but amazon earsed it. said i cant leave a review for two of the same product. im about to buy my 2nd box of the powder. the slimquick extream i want to send back.

This product works great if you One, use as directed and Two, you actually work out! I have been using this for about A month in a half and I have lost 18 pounds(This is with working out for an hour 5 days a week) Once again weight loss will not come overnight or without effort on your part and if you take CLA with it that will help keep the weight off! I am 12 pounds away from my goal!

I am not taking the capsules... only this "diet water" as I call it but it is NOT WORkING!!!!! I've gone through almost the whole package and not only does it taste terrible... does NOT WORk for me... i think i may have actually gained weight since trying it... but it is incredibly expensive... i bought it at cvs for $25. I will try maybe the capsules or a different brand of the water mixture.

I've been using this for a week now and I've noticed a few things:

1. My energy level is way higher than it used to be. I get up in the morning, don't have to worry too much about breakfast (I just drink a bottle of the slimquick and have some oatmeal or something), and I'm generally in a good mood now. However, I should clarify that I'm usually a pretty cheerful person in the first place. I work in customer service at a call center and I'm grateful that my managers aren't big sticklers about us staying seated because I bounce all over the place now. You should take this if you have the means to exercise. If you don't, you'll be going nuts trying to find a way to expel your energy. I'm not typically much of an exerciser, but ever since I started taking this all I want to do is run, run, run.

2. I haven't noticed much weight loss, but then again I don't ever step on a scale. I want to get back to where I was a year ago and I measure that by trying to fit into my clothes from a year ago. Since I've only been taking it for a week, though, this downside can be easily ignored.

3. I didn't take the mix on Christmas and, at the end of the night, I actually ended up feeling exhausted and I threw up all my food. The exhaustion is due to the lack of the supplement, I'm sure; the upset stomach may be due to that or due to me being lactose-intolerant and eating soemthing that contained dairy. Who knows?

4. It doesn't taste bad. I mean, the pleasure of drinking it doesn't match the pleasure of drinking a cold root beer, but those drink are making us gain weight in the first place so suck it up. It tastes very refreshing if you mix it with cold water and it's a great way to get hydrated because, if anything, I have trouble drinking as much water as is necessary to be healthy.

*I'm age 21, height of about 5'3 and I weigh 130 Lbs. My intention is to lose 10-15 Lbs in one month (because that's how long I have before my boyfriend gets back from England). In short, if you want a miracle, get liposuction. But if you want a great energy booster that actually tastes good, doesn't make your heart race like crazy, and gets you hydrated, take Slimquick.

I don't consume this sort of products regularly, but my schedule is getting pretty busy and I no longer have the time for my long gym workouts... So i decided to cheat a little. The product does it's thing... Boosts your energy through out the day (and I only drink one packet a day). It makes you loose excess water. Doesn't make you jittery, doesn't give you mood swings. I haven't weight in yet... all I'm trying to loose are 5 pounds, but i do feel my jeans are fitting better than a couple of weeks ago. I just finished my first box... and I'll buy it again. On the down side... I didn't love the berries flavor... I'll try the pink lemonade one this time.

Okay, friend of mine gave me one of the little "pixie sticks" of this stuff to try. I was amazed. I am 58 and feel like it's taken off 10 years. I was always high energy but found myself exhausted when I got home from work. On weekends, I would opt to read because I just didn't have the energy or desire to get up and do anything. I have been using the Slimquick powdered stix for almost two weeks and am going strong, with no increased heart rate, no jitters, etc. I see things that need doing and do them....no excuses, no putting things off. Very different from prior to using this stuff. My outlook is up because I have more energy. I had a three day weekend and did projects the whole time. Because I expend so much energy, I sleep really well at night. I only use one a day because I would not be able to sleep on two a day. I also mix it with pure pomegranite juice and lemon juice concentrate to help with the taste, as it is too artificially sweetened for me. I have recommended this to several friends because it does what it claims. The taste is the only downside, but its upsides more than compensate, I think it is ideal for women my age because it boosts energy, resulting in increased activity which will result in weight loss over time. I am not eating because I am bored, thus reducing caloric intake. It works the way they claim....at least for me.

This wasnt for me, the taste was ok, you got use to it. But after a week it just made me to lightheaded and nauseous to continue, i felt so sick i had to stop taking it.

I have been using it for about a month, and it has helped me lose 10 pounds. It suppresses my appetite, and also gets rid of the bloat. I water it down a little more than the 500mL recommended, as it makes me feel a bit nauseous otherwise.
