Well,I went in to the doctor for my first session of accupuncture on Saturday.my appointment was for 10.30 am.He didnt call me in until 11.00 am,typical doctor right?First I had a cosultation which lasted 20 minutes,I got weighed and wow I almost collapsed,lol.So he talked to me about my goal weight,he would like to see me 45 lbs smaller,which is ok I guess but I would still like to go smaller than that.He is saying it will take 10 weeks with the accupunture and smaller portions of food.The bad part is I cant have any bread,sugar,rice,or potatoes while I am doing this.The only thing I am allowed to drink is milk or water.I hate milk so its water for me.I had about 25 needles in me at the same time,kind of scarey but they didnt hurt at all,until he took them out lol.I am also on 3 kinds of pills to detox my body,they smell awful.I am looking forward to Saturdays session already.I cant wait to see how much weight I have lost this week.Wish me luck and I will keep you updated.

I wish you the very best with your weight loss program. I know you can do it.
I have thought of trying accupunture so I can quit smoking. I smoke too much and do know it's keeping my weight down but it has to be killing me. My weight is right on target right now so if I do quit, I will need to plan exercise programs as well to keep my weight where it is right now. Make sure I walk daily and not sit here a good part of the day on a chair. I've never been on a diet so it would be a first if it went that far.

Good luck!
Although curious to know as don't know much about acupuncture - how does having it help you to lose weight - wouldn't the smaller portions and th pills do that anyway? x

Acupuncture is only one of the methods to help remove energy blockages of what makes people sick.
Another method is Reiki. I would suggest having healing sessions with a Reiki master. Reiki is healing energy meaning "universal life force". The healer channels the energy through their hands to the recipient. It is a non invasive way of channeling healing energy to your body without poked, unlike acupuncture. Once the healing energy is in your body, it goes everywhere and it starts "healing" all levels of your body and your concerns. It helps remove energy blockages and accelerates the body to help heal itself. It helps with goals, like weight loss, it helps deal with confidence, eliminates negativity, improves relationships, etc. It even helps overcome grief. Whatever ailments and issues the person has, reiki helps everything!
Reiki healers have to be attuned to the healing energy. They never use their personal energy and that's why they're never drained.
During a reiki session, you will lie down on a massage table and you will still be fully clothed. You never take off your clothes, except your shoes. Relaxation music will take place while the reiki master channels the healing energy to you, in different body areas. You don't do anything during the session, except lie down and relax. You will not be massaged though. It is very relaxing and most often, people fall asleep. Usually, reiki healers hold their practice in their own homes where they will be performing the sessions.
After you have your reiki session in person, you can resume with long distance reiki healing sessions. I recommend going for a reiki session in person first, so you know how it's like.
For long distance services, many reiki healers sell their services on eBay for a bargain. Reiki still works even if the healer and the recipients are in different parts of the globe and you will experience the same benefits, as in person treatments, except that long distance reiki sessions are cheaper because you don't have to see or meet each other in person.
On eBay, you can look for "distance reiki", or "distant reiki" when you purchase the sessions.
Feel free to read more about Reiki on the internet for more info.
I am educated about Reiki because I've had many sessions before. It has helped with my health and my life overall. That's why I highly recommend it to others. You can have as many sessions as you feel like or continuous sessions.

I have heard Gwyneth Paltrow does have her acunpuncture sessions. Is it supposed to be for losing weight only? I don't think I'm prepared for it if it has any other benefits aside from weight loss. Hehe.

hi neelygal. i had always wanted to go experience accupuncture. do keep us updated as i'm sure that there are others here in mylot who are interested as well.
good luck on your detox program. i suggest you do some exercises or pick up a sport if this is allowed. running, brisk walking, basketball, and swimming are good choices.
cheers.
