The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. There are no magic bullets but there are things that can help you take in less than you burn. Losing about 40-50 pounds could be the tipping point that makes exercise possible. Yes, I'm in that bad of shape.
To me the most encouraging thing about hoodia is that it occurs in nature - it wasn't created in a lab like most of the crap out there.
