    This girl did not say she was looking for a miracle cure... she is looking for something to complement her work that she is already doing. The ones of you who jumped down her throat, are not going to help her. This site is to help people. Explaining to her the reasons you don't believe in it is exceptable, but telling her exactly how she gained her weight and that she is going to fail... that's not why we are here!

    AGREED!!!!!


    I honestly don't believe there is anything wrong with pills IF you are working toward your goal too. I started out taking Phentermine, prescribed to me by my doctor, and you know what?! I didn't gain it all back. Wanna know why? Because while taking the Phen, I was also adjusting my lifestyle, which is EXACTLY what you all are doing, only I had the aide of a PILL because I couldn't do it on my own. I am now continuing my lifestyle change and still losing without the pills. If you think that is wrong, BITE ME!

    Don't do the pills... for one thing they ARE short term, and they only do what you're supposed to be doing anyway. None are approved by the FDA except one. That's Alli. The only thing it does is keeps your body from absorbing fat. HOWEVER: it says that you have to eat a balanced meal and everything with it, which is what you're supposed to be doing anyway! You don't need to waste $50 a bottle to take a pill to tell you this. Really the only way to go is diet and exercise. It sucks, but it's true :) You got this!


    I am going to correct you on this, ALLI is the only FDA aprooved OVER THE COUNTER weight loss medication. There are 5 (deending on which country you are in) FDA aprooved PRESCRIPTION weight loss medications.

    I will not get on my soap box in this thread about my feeling on medications because I have used them (Yes successfully where the weight stayed off) There are ALOT of factors she has not given us that would jurisdict the ability of a Dr to prescribe these drugs.


    Just so everyone is aware... ALLI blocks 25% absorbtion of fat... which means that you just crap it out... which is why one of the most common side effects of ALLI is and I quote " oily anal discharge"

    Please sign me up!!! I want some of that!

    LMAO! :laugh:

    bahahaa!!! :laugh:

    I take prescription medication but it just suppresses my appetite. It still comes down changing your eating habits and exercise.

    Thank You! We started our weight loss the same way this time. And I used phentermine before and it was 3 years (and a pregnancy) before I re-gained!

    I spent a lot of time doing quick fix diets,never pills but shakes/liquids etc and to be honest they have never worked for me or anyone i know.
    Eating right and exercising is the ONLY way and you will save so much time by getting started now instead of going down that road.
    Is there a reason you want lose that amount of weight in such a short time?
    Maybe you could break it down into smaller goals and go from there?

    Honestly the people on this site are amazing as well as the tools.
    You will be losing in no time :smile:

    Best of Luck x

    Thank you! I came up with this analogy regarding my use of prescription weight loss meds:
    ' The medication has helped me hold my head above water while I learn how to swim'.

    People are far too sensitive on here. I don't think any poster on here is going to help her, if she is determined to drop so much weight so quickly, she will no doubt try a few pills, hardly eat, do stupid diets like cabbage soup/Atkins etc... This site is for support and guidance, yes, but we also need to be honest.

    Why did we gain? Eating too much, not moving enough. We've probably tried all the diets under the sun. Diets are for the lazy, who can't be bothered to eat better and exercise. So are diet pills.

    Starting the slow clap. Clap............Clap...........Clap ...

    I barely trust the FDA for regular food let alone diet pills :smokin:

    where the hell did i put my agree button? and why the hell areyou smoking? LOL

    amen. just because something is FDA approved does not mean it is safe. I bought them tried them for a week read the insert and saw it said DO NOT WEAR WHITE and keep A SPARE SET OF CLOTHING WITH YOU. um yeah not into those kind of warnings. didn't like the oil slick in the bathroom either. and i wasn't eating unhealthy. anything that blocks anything you eat is blocking nutrients that your body needs to function. a good multivitamin and healthy eating with exercise and water will help you lose the weight.

    I've tried a pill and it worked WONDERS. It's called the MOVE-MORE-WORK-HARDER-EAT-LESS-CRAP Pill. Best of all, IT'S FREE AND WORKS!

    But don't tell anyone, though. It's my secret.

    I have lost 40lbs and it has been 14 weeks exactly since I started. I didn't do any extreme diets or "only drink water and die". I have done everything the "right" way - diet and exercise. So everyone that's saying you can't do it unless you do it the unhealthy way is wrong. It can be done!

    But you also had over 100 pounds to lose. It comes off EASIER at first. 40 pounds is her GOAL. The last ten can take months and take some serious fine-tuning of proper nutrition and strength training.
    Congrats on your 40, but her 40 is a whole different beast, it's the hardest 40 of them all, while yours was the easiest 40 of your whole journey...

    I agree. A friend of mine that had about 100lbs to lose lost 65lbs in the same length of time it took me to lose 40, 60 was my goal.

    I have to agree with the others - weight loss pills are a quick fix. Sure, you'll lose weight while taking them, but as soon as you stop you'll gain it all back. AND they don't teach you the tools you need to be successful long term. Eating better. Working out. Drinking water. That's the best way to lose weight!

    That's true. I was mainly just commenting because of the girl that said you had to drink only water and then you would probably die if you lost that much that quick. lol

    I think that pills are a complete waste of time! Good old fashioned healthy eating, exercise, sleeping, playing and loving life are what gets you where you want to be. Please be reasonable with your weight loss goals too because shooting for such a high goal of 40 pounds in 2.5 months is going to be a major stress your mind and body will revolt against!
