Are you one of “those” who have tried every diet out there, purchased every exercise DVD, or joined multiple gyms in the past and never used the memberships?

I am an anti-dieter or so I thought until I tried something that I had recently read about and done some studying about. I’m talking about the use of Vitamin B12 shots. I have been a big fan so far. Vitamin B12 shots are available over the counter. No doctor visits and co-pays and no prescriptions needed! There are many websites that you can find online to purchase the Vitamin B12 shots and there are even videos that will show you how to safely inject the shots yourself.

I do 3 injections per week. I know, you’re probably thinking you can’t possibly do the injection yourself or some may be squeamish overall at the thought of any needle. Well, there are other options like the Vitamin B12 patch and of course your normal Vitamin B12 pill. These too are available over the counter.

Vitamin B12 provides a boost of energy and helps maintain healthy red blood cells. As hectic as my week is trying to balance a full time job and 3 children as a single parent, I find it hard some days to keep up and energy is hard to come by. So, when a friend of mine told me about B12 for weight loss, I started researching it and decided to give it a try. I should say that in addition to my B12 injections, I have cut out fast food and drink plenty of water throughout the day and pair this all up with exercise 3 times a week.

Now I’m not saying this is for everyone and if you have questions or are concerned about the use of Vitamin B12, you should consult your doctor first.

I’m happy to say that in the past 2 weeks, I’ve lost 4 pounds. 21 pounds to goal!
