I guess I'll be the first to put aside pride and self-respect by showing the proverbial "Before & After" picture. The first picture is me at Banks Lake in the summer of 2006 weighing in at 180lbs. For perspective, I'm 5' 7".

On January 1, 2007, I received a bottle of PRiME from my Dad (Dr. Griffith), telling me I would be pleasantly surprised with how well his new product worked. By this point I weighed 185lbs, so I didn't think there was a whole lot of down side to trying it out.

Now, I'd like to tell you that after I began taking PRiME I started to work out--but I didn't. It seems I'm never in short supply of good "reasons" why I can't work out or why it's acceptable to eat a left over piece of cake for a quick lunch. I'm one of those typical self-employed, work-oholic types with a family and very little down time. So while I think that eating well and exercising is the smart thing to do, at this point in my life, I don't feel like there's even enough time to get proper sleep.

For me, PRiME was a real-world solution to a lifestyle that encouraged weight gain. Without getting hyped up on stimulants, having to keep myself "super motivated" or taking the time to join a weight-loss group that polices my actions, I managed to go from 185lbs to 155lbs in 69 days--with an average loss of 3lbs per week. PRiME cut my cravings for that piece of cake and reduced my appetite substantially. The "diet" I've been on has not been difficult and hasn't required some kind of tremendous will power. My routine has been taking PRiME, COMPLETE multi-vitamins and V-Cal calcium with a protein drink each morning, trying to drink water throughout the day, and eating when I get hungry--which just isn't very often.

So, my pant size decreased from a very "snug" 32-inch waist to a 29-inch waist--a size I hadn't seen since I was 21!

PRiME has really worked for me and I am very proud of my Dad for creating such a fantastic product. I'm grateful he thought to send a bottle over to me and so is my wife.

I started taking NouvelleHEALTH products the 1st of August, 2007, while in the process of training for Washington Ironman Championship bodybuilding competition, which was scheduled for October 5th. After hitting a weight-loss plateau, I was introduced to PRiME. I lost eight pounds the first week, continued to lose weight every week, and in combination with a well balanced diet and exercise I was able to loose a total of 38lbs by Oct. 5th.

In my last two weeks of training before the show I hit another plateau. Following a meeting with Dr. Griffith, I learned PRiME will not allow your body to go beyond a certain percentage of body-fat. Since I was preparing to compete in a bodybuilding show I needed to drop my body-fat below 10%. At that point, I stopped taking PRiME and started taking META and CLA+. In one week I dropped another 1.3% body-fat and was getting closer to my goal. Once I reached the initial weight and body-fat percentage I had trained for, I started to take PRiME again along with the Meta and CLA+. I noticed with the Nouvelle products I had plenty of energy to train hard and to continue to concentrate on my goal. I felt I was able to maintain an emotional balance with the META and never felt deprived of food. I competed in two bodybuilding shows and did very well. Following the competitions I feel ready to take on another challenge. Since my first show I have taken all the Nouvelle products and love them. They will always be a part of my life.

I'm a very positive person, and I made a joke of my weight to friends and family so it wouldn't hurt too much. One day I was at a friends' house when one of her clients stopped by to purchase PRiME. I looked at her suspiciously as she told me about this product that helped her husband lose 27 pounds. She hadn't even thought of telling me about it, even though I was piling on weight like a kid building a snowman!

I was full of questions, and I had some concerns because of my sluggish thyroid. I learned that is an all-natural product containing no stimulants to curb my appetite. You see, my pantry and I had become intimate friends at about ten o'clock every night (right after the kids fall asleep), and that was a relationship that I treasured. I also wasn't sure that my doctor would approve of the product.

With my physician's blessing, I started using PRiME, and like my like my friend, I kept it quiet. After all, what if I failed again? Within a week, my best friend (with apologies to the pantry) was asking me where I got all the extra energy. I thought about that, and realized that I didn't need my Saturday sleep-in day anymore. She was right, I wasn't wiped out after a week of work, kid's sports and house cleaning, plus my pants were actually getting baggier!

After about three weeks I found the courage to get on the scale, my biggest enemy over the last few years, and I had lost weight! That was more than 20 pounds and 2 pant sizes ago. My size 8 pants now not only fit me, but I'm excited to wear them - even though they're completely out of style. My 16- year-old son gives me "knucks," his generations' version of the high-five, and my 13-year-old daughter can't wait until we share clothes. I am still 10 pounds from where I envision my weight, but I'm amazed at my progress after only nine weeks using PRiME.

The best part is, it's not hard. I take a multi-vitamin and PRiME every morning, and I don't get very hungry. I eat four-to-six small meals a day, mostly lean meat, veggies and fruits, and I gulp 10-to-12 glasses of water a day. I also schedule my exercise for days when I know I'm not booked being my kid's shuttle service.

There is no magic weight loss pill, but PRiME gives me the resources to do what I've always known I should do: eat less and be more active. I've also made some new friends. Pantry, meet my new pals gym and scale!

To everyone who wants to or needs to lose weight and inches,

I've been taking PRiME now for 8 weeks, and I've lost 30 lbs. and have gone down 4 sizes. This awesome product is not only safe but cuts my appetite and the cravings go out the door.

I've done it all, wired my mouth shut, went to all but 2 weight-control programs only because I didn't want to spend $300 plus a month. I was introduced to this amazing product 2 months ago and couldn't believe all I had to do was take 2 capsules around 10:00 a.m. each and every morning. How simple is that! This is not something you need to take for the rest of your life since there is a very simple maintenance program that will keep you in that small size, happy as can be and looking good in your clothes.

My advice to all you readers is to get on the PRiME now.....you'll be doing yourself a favor, and I can guarantee you that you won't be sorry. Tell your doctors to lay down the scalpels because you won't be needing that gastric by-pass surgery after all!

I have never felt better about my body image then I do now. Thanks to PRiME I was able to lose 20 lbs in 2-1/2 months and feel great in a bikini-FINALLY!

As with most people, I knew I had put on weight due to stress from work and well, life in general. I hadn't realized how I much weight I had gained until I put on a bikini this past March and had my husband take my "before" picture. Upon seeing myself in the photo, I was VERY unhappy with what I saw. (Can you tell from my unhappy face in the picture?) I began taking the PRiME, 2 a day "EVERYDAY" faithfully.

After just 2 days I began to see this might be my solution to losing the weight. I was no longer craving a giant bowl of ice cream at 9pm, nor did I want food all day long. I also was not jittery or light headed as with diet pills in the past. I made sure I always had breakfast prior to taking PRiME.

The first month I ate whatever I felt like for lunch. I began losing weight but didn't have much energy. I went to an informational meeting with Dr. Griffith towards the end of my first month. At this meeting he explained to us that your body consumes the carbs it needs as it processes your stored fat. What I needed was to add more protein into my food intake. The next day I began to make sure that with both breakfast and lunch I had protein. Again, I noticed a difference right away. I had so much more energy. After just 2-1/2 months I was able to lose 20lbs and get down to a size I hadn't been even as a senior in High School. I went from a size 6 to a size 0. I am only 5'1" and have a small build, so this is my ideal weight.

I did notice that towards the end of my 2nd month on PRiME my appetite was coming back and I wanted to eat a little more than I did when I first started. So once again, I met with Dr. Griffith at an informational meeting and he gave me the answer I was looking for. Now that my body was reaching its goal weight, it began to override the PRiME so that I didn't lose too much weight. This made total sense. It was nice to know that my body was acknowledging that I had lost the extra weight, but now needed to stop. As you can see from my after photo, the PRiME had done its job.

Throughout the 2-1/2 months I didn't work out and only lost weight due to taking PRiME. Now that I have stopped taking PRiME I am using a sensible diet and exercise to maintain the weight loss.

I have and do recommend PRiME to anyone wanting to lose that excess weight that is too easy to put on and too easy to convince ourselves we hadn't. I am also happy to report that my husband took PRiME with me and to date has lost around 40 lbs. He looks great! I love shopping for clothes now and enjoy being able to wear pretty much anything I want without fearing the dreaded "muffin top" over my jeans.

I'm a registered nurse at a hospital in Las Vegas and anyone who has worked in this business knows there's always a lot of snack food around. Lots of cookies, donuts, and chips.

The picture of me at Christmas (see below photo on the left) made me realize I was overweight. I saw that picture and thought who is that? It was startling to see my shape. I thought that's it, that's unbelievable, I need to do something about this. It was at this time that Dr. Griffith had created PRiME. So I started on it, and saw results right away, 6-8 pounds came off in the first week...I just forgot to eat! On PRiME you don't feel deprived, you don't feel hungry. I'm so amazed with this product. People that I've started on the product come up to me and tell me how happy they are with it and that is a really nice feeling.

What's funny is I still see all those snack foods around, but now I'm not constantly thinking about them. I watch other people around me struggling while I'm just not interested. I eat when I'm hungry and really don't worry about what I'm eating.

The "PRiME" formulation truly works where all other Hoodia gordonii products never would, and with NO stimulants and NO after-effects! With very little exercise and no dieting whatsoever, my weight loss has been a total of over 30 pounds in about 4 months of use! My dress/pant size has gone from a size 12 to a very small 8. I am especially thrilled with the tremendous loss of inches in my waist, hips and thighs.

When I trained with a personal trainer 4 years ago 3-4 times a week, I never was able to get my body down to this weight level. My friends and family are telling me that I look better than ever...better than when I was in my late 20's, and I will be 58 this coming October, 2007. I have been absolutely thrilled with Nouvelle Health's "PRiME". You will, too!
