Hi guys, I've been hearing alot about B12+Lipotropics to lose weight. Has anyone taken these shots? If so did you lose weight? I hear B12 gives you lots of energy. I saw my endocrinologist yesterday and he gave me the okay to take the injections. He said they indeed give you energy and I should start feeling better soon after I take them. I just ordered them online so I was just wanting some feedback. I'm excited and I'll let you all know how it works. it should be here by Monday

So What Happened?

Hey guys thanks for all your comments about the B12 injections. I started my first injection today. I have to say, I felt a little burst of energy this afternoon, but nothing more than that. I have a coworker that swears by them and she lost tons of weight. I will keep you all posted and let you know how things go. I did join the gym, but working until 6:30pm and having a 3 year old and husband that works 24 hours shifts leaves me with little "free" time to get there and work out. I know it will take work to lose the weight, but I just need all the help I can get. If anybody else wants to join me on this long journey please come on!! email me we will have our own support team. Starting weight 180lbs ..... To Be Continued!

Hi A.,
B12 injections are usually given for Pernicious Anemia and other type of blood insufficiency. I have worked with dialysis patients who suffer from pernicious anemia and we would give them the b12 complex injected. I have never heard that it can make you loose weight. If you want to loose weight do it the old fashion way, exercise and monitor your meals.... Trust me it works and you will feel good.

Good luck,
Elisa M

This is an inexpensive, healthy, painless and great tasteful way of increasing your energy.

Hi A.,

I recommend the Lipo and B12 injections. I have been getting the injections since Nov. and I have lost 23lbs give or take a few. I do have more energy and it is wonderful. In addition to the injections I have started eating healthier and joined the gym. The injections are worth it.

I started taking B Vitamin pills a couple months ago and they work great! The brand I use is "Fatiged to Fantastic" and I got it at a natural food store. I also take the Centrum multi-vitatmin that helps with energy. I found they work really well and I bet the injections will be even more helpful to you. Good luck!

I have never tried the injections but the pills that dissolve in your mouth work wonders. I have lost 10 pounds in two months by eating a low fat diet and taking B-12 pills. They give me energy without the low that comes with sugar. I have also been doing jumping jacks on my daughter's mini trampoline. You can get your 30 minute a day routine done by jumping during the commercials on T.V. ......Good Luck!

Ashely, I have taken vitamin B shots because of a B vitamin deficiency. Maybe they are different than what you are referring to but I never saw any weight loss. Only an increase in energy. If you are looking to lose weight, I would recommend hiring a personal trainer 2x a week for 30 minutes at a time. Or, find a fitness boot camp. They are pretty cheap and will get you started. I started seeing a trainer 3 months ago and it has been the best thing! Much better than any diet or gimic. You will feel better (well, you will feel like you were run over by a truck the first couple of weeks) but it's easier to stick to a healthy diet after you have been working out so hard. Good luck to you.

Both of my sisters have used it. I have not as of yet. Both of them love the energy they get which in turn gives them the boost they need to work out plus do everything else in their lives. So, yes they have lost weight but I think it was more to the added energy for working out then just the shot by itself.

Anyone I know that did this indeed lost lots of weight. I know someone who lost like 70 lbs. I know many who have done this, men & women. After doing it, and, losing the weight, they turned around and gained more back than before they did it.

Hi A.
I've never done it but i have heard about using b12 shots for weight loss. I live in a border town and my BF mother used to go to a clinic in mexico where they would give her b12 shots. She also had to wear a girdle all day. Not sure if it was the b12 or the girdle that helped her lose weight (maybe the placebo effect) but it worked. Since you've already ordered them I assume you are doing it no matter what. Please keep us posted I would like to know your results. Good luck

Anita mentioned the XS energy drink... it works. I went from a size 16 back to an 8 with the help of the XS drink. It not only provides a healthy way to get energy but also a helps you to reach and teach your body to find its natural metabolism again. As far as vitamins go and what they do;

Vitamin B6 is helpful in amino acid metabolism.

Vitamin B12 is the “energy” vitamin, people feel more energetic taking it. It is involved with normal cellular metabolism and participates with folic acid, choline, methionine in the transfer of methyl groups for the synthesis of nucleic acids.

Also the company came out with an energy & vitamin XS beverage called XS Gold. It includes the Acai berry. Follow up Anita if you want more information - her products come with a buy it - try it - don't like it? get a refund guarantee. Trust me you'll like the flavors she offers and the results... No sugar, No Carbs, No energy drop offs. Best wishes for you weight loss goals!
