There is an ad on this site for the Pink Patch.  Has anyone tried it, liked it, hated it.  I've never heard of it.  I'm sure it is another gimmick.

what is the pink patch?

I'm always leary to try anything sold online.  The results vary and nothing beats a healthy diet and good old fashioned exercise for weight loss.

If you feel like you need a boost though, I went on phentermine (the good half of fenphen) for 6 months and lost 60lbs.  Talk to your doctor about safe, managable drugs that may be available to you.

I must say........I did give in to the trial and I don't know if it's mental or if it really did what it said but either way I thought it was good.  I noticed an intense change in my appetite.  I of course immediately cancelled before my trial ended because I didn't want them to ship more but now I've decided to order a month supply. 

Like I said it may be mental but hey, maybe that's all I need.... I could probably stick a bandaid to my arm as long as someone told me it "will work".

I think i would be scared to try it...it looks like that birth control. patch but its pink...so does it just put the medicine or whatever through your bloodstream directly?....hmm im kinda iffy on it.

yeah I've seen that! totally weird... but hey, if it reduces your appetite, why not? try it, if you hate it, stop. if it works and you see a difference, well there ya go! ;)

I'm not saying this is the best idea but I've also heard that Nicotine patches and Nicotine gum (like Nicorete) work very well because it seriously curbs your appetite (while helping you to quit smoking).

My husband is a pharmacist and he confirmed this for me.

If it curbs my appetite, even for the placebo effect, I might give it a try.  It claims to be all natural anyway.  I was curious about stopping before they mail the rest, and since it seemed not to be a problem I may try it. 

Thanks to all.

Rattlesnake venom is also all natural. That has nothing to do with it's safety or efficacy.

True, very, very true.  I still haven't committed.  Just a thought.  My husband would probably have a fit, anyway! lol

Haha oh man a friend of mine worked with that company doing some sort of tech support. He would periodically go through the incoming emails from customers and people who would sign up to sell the thing. Guys, it's garbage. It's 100% garbage and a waste of money. You know this.

I thought it was a scam, but there is always wishful thinkin. :-)

There is no pills, patches, gum, or drinks out there that are going to help you loss weight.  they are all gimmicks......the only way to loss weight is to watch your calorie intake and exercise daily.  I know everyone wants a quick fix....but there isn't any.  I've tryed every diet, every pill, every drink out there and never lost a single pound.  When I discovered this web site and started watching my calories and exercised daily, the weight has just melted off of me.  Please dont waste your time or energy on crap like the pink patch.  Just be smart about what you put in your mouth and watch portion sizes and you will be amazed. and one more thing........GOOD LUCK!

I ordered the trial (6 patches for $2.95). They were a rip-off. Didn't help at all and leave a bunch of sticky residue. Not to mention, I had to explain to my boyfriend that I was desperate enough to try some random patch that I saw in a banner ad online.

Now they've charged me $48.98 for the 1-month shipment, even though I cancelled, and don't want to refund me more than $39.95.

I wish I would have researched it more before getting involved with that company.

I've gone through several levels of management and have decided to go to the Better Business Bureau. I've seen several people post that they had problems with the company too, so I'm going to suggest that everyone file a complaint then we might actually get our money back.

I think most of those pills and patches and suff are bad for your over all health, remember fen fen anyone??? there have been class action lawsuits going on from the effects of that drug and others like it for years.  loosing a couple pounds or even a lot of wieght is not worth heart failure guys! don't take the risk of messing up a good thing!

That thing gave me terrible cramps...I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

Guys - come on! SO much wrong with this:

1) THERE IS NO QUICK FIX.

2) read the small print:

"Results May Vary. For best results use as part of a low-calorie, low fat meal plan & exercise program."

well if you limit what you eat and exercise then of course you'll loose weight!!! you can do that without paying them money!

3) Fast. we know that "fast weightloss" also means "fast regaining of pounds" afterwards. Anything thats advertised as a fast solution should make you run in the opposite direction.

4) if its too good to be true, it probably isnt.


Im so fed up of these things being advertised all over this site too! its so irresponsible of caloriecount to allow people who are here to loose weight sensibly to have the chance to be sucked in by this crap.
