it really has made me lose inches, im wearing a size 7 pants today that im giving to the thrift store tomorrow. they feel huge. i have been wearing my 5's but i thought not to much difference between the two until i put these on. the rearend is so baggy, my legs look like i should put both in one leg, and the waist is falling off all the time. i have had great luck with it and only on it two weeks. its hard to find pure though. this is the brand i bought NATURES WAY, they also have a website to get it. good luck.
