We did not realise how much our weight loss program was going to cost!
Yesterday we met up after work and tried to purchase all our meds. What a shock! Do you even know the price of Meridia and Xenical? Except for Latisha who has a fabulous job, the rest of us simply cannot afford to spend that kind of cash. Then Sue suggested checking out internet pharmacies. And I needed to research good herbal weight loss supplements. There are a ton of those on the market, but most sound ridiculous and completely unbelievable. I did find a very promising one with Irvingia on the Life Extensions website, but at $78.99 for a 30 day supply, that too is a bit over my budget.
Katy had a marvellous idea. She suggested writing to a few of the big internet pharmacies and asking them for a considerable discount. In return we would plug their website on our blog. But naturally, ONLY if the meds were good and effective. Sue is extremely sceptical about this scheme, but then she is always a pessimist.
Well, we researched 12 of the most reliable internet pharmacies, and sent them all a copy of this mail.
Dear _____ (pharmacy).
We are four friends on a mission to find the most practical method of weigth loss; one that actually works. Two of our members are planning to go the pharmaceutical route. Would your company be able to give us a significant discount on the products we require? Right now we are interested in Meridia and Xenical. Either the name brands or the generic versions will do. In return we would be happy to recommend your company whole heartedly on our blog. We hope to have quite a large audience very soon, and will mention your company regularly on our posts. Naturally, this is only on condition that your products are genuine and effective. We are looking for a good herbal weight loss supplement as well. Do you carry any of those?
Hoping for a favourable response,
The Fab Four.

What do you think? A lil bit of good ol' fashioned American ingenuity, right? I shall let you know if we get a response from anybody. Then we can really answer the question - Do we really have to be rich to be thin?
Until next time.
PS: We are going to call ourselves the Fab Four from now on. I am sure the Beatles will not mind. (At least I hope not!)

Marcie, I have checked out your blog, and I really admire your confidence ! Do you honestly think that the big internet companies will give you and your friends, discounted (or free!!) Meridia and Xenical ? These weight-loss meds cost the earth -- I should know -- as I too would love to take them but just cant afford it ! Well -- all the best to you. I would love to see if you are successful in getting these meds at a lower rate!!
