So just like anybody else starting out basically completely new to this. I found myself in search of a miracle pill, well maybe not a miracle but surely something to boost my results. I recently traded in my old textbook from last semester to amazon and recieved a credit of about 80$. Immediately I thought wow 80$ okay surely I can get something that works with this. Okay after hours of looking up reviews/ scientific studies/ prices & ratings.. I began to get frustrated . I'm gonna spend 80$ I want something that works. It was now 7pm so I got off my butt and took a trip to GNC surely they would help me find something... As i left walking out I had two choices lipo 6 black or therma - ignite . Back home I went. It was now 12am my boyfriend looks over at me.. & states simply. You don't need a diet pill... I don't know why your about to send 80$ on something that probably doesn't work, & your already putting the work in. Your doing it on your own why not treat yourself with something you want instead , something you can use and enjoy... And wtf he was right. There is no magical plant , root, old secret wives tale, or miracle pill. Why lose faith in myself when with just my faith and bike alone I've lost 20 lbs. and still going. Sooo I went back on amazon and purchased a beautiful heart pendent locket, some essentials I would of otherwise never baught at the store because there just simply to much money.. And dammit I felt good about myself.. Really good ;):drinker:

    Awesome! I'm glad you saw the light (with your boyfriend's help!). You definitely don't need the pills - all you have to do is do the work yourself. Congrats!!

    Haha, thanks for sharing the story.

    I have personally used many diet pills as a result of working in the natural supps industry. Fortunately my job wasn't commission based so I could tell people the truth.

    IMO the best reason to use a fat burner is if you have a specific event coming up in a short period of time, such as a vacation to Hawaii. Otherwise, the pills just aren't meant for sustainable fat loss and quite frankly have a lot of side effects for both men and women.

    Congrats to you, healthy weight management has few shortcuts -- which is why it is so very rewarding when you reach your goals naturally.

    Thank you guys .. . And yea I figured I'd share especially for people who have just started or recently started. I didn't wanna preach lol just wanted to let some people know that it's nt horrible if you find yourself thinking about it or even trying it. It's frustrating on everyone we have to trust our own body's to work with us and not against us. Either way I am seriously proud. Instead of being a menace to myself and thinking oh god 20 more to go... I took a chill pill and realized I made it half way there was a time I had 40 to go and not 20 . But hey I do believe being hard n myself is indeed what made this all possible lol. So I'll celebrate my success with my amazon purchase by me for me lol. And wake up tomorrow and get back to work lol
