losing too fast

Shihtzumom1 the Shea Butter is fantastic. You were so right about it. Also it makes my skin so soft!! Thanks for that wonderful suggestion.

I just found some inexpensive body butters at Walmart, way cheaper than the Clinique Body Butter I was using.  They come in jars with a large variety of scents.  The name brand on them is SPAresource.  I have only tried the vanilla sugar scent so far.  They are made with shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E, Macadamia oil and soybean oil. 

I put it on my neck 2 to 3 times per day and I have been putting it on the rest of me after a shower while still wet and letting it soak into my skin.  Seems to be working.

Hi Shihtzumom1, 

I could not help but notice how close you are getting to your goal weight.

Kudos to you!!!

Just a note...Shea butter in most over the counter products has been so processed that it removes all the wonderful benefits that is in natural shea butter.  I recommend you go to sheabutterhut.com  They make their own products and I make my own whipped shea butter-such fun!  It's awesome in the winter as it protects your skin from wind/cold, etc. The thing is...in order to get the full benefits it must be used consistently as with any product.

Wow, we learn about everything here.  I guess everything is better in its natural state.  I know someone that runs a spa in my area and I think she makes her own shea butter.  I'll have to see what her prices are like.

That's awesome...I can't wait to hear your comments about using the natural shea butter products.
