    not that im advocating it and we all know that it can potentially put you into cardiac arrest but ephedra is back on the market

    WHat!!!!!!!!!??? really? since when? whats it in?

    Most places (at least in Illinois) you can get it, its behind the counter at the pharmacy, but you have to show your ID and sign for it. Also your only allowed 6 pills (I beleive) at a time.

    I am taking SlimQuick and I know it works because i have had quite a few family members take it and it is made specifically for women.

    You can get it at GNC! It has lots of online information especially a whole page on Facebook too! Also there is a website where SlimQuick is doing a 25 lb challenge. I just started taking it myself yesterday so hopefully ill see results soon like my family members did.

    Faulty logic is faulty.

    Other people taking something doeesn't mean it works. Something being marketed toward women doesn't mean it works. Although your perspective is certainly what means it sells!

    Alli works best for me ..... but you must be careful of the side effects. You REALLY need to watch your fat intake. I've never had a problem, but I know people who have.

    Look in the forums on Bodybuilding.com. There have been people review, and rate quite a bit of them. If you are determined to take a fat burner, You will probably get your best answer there from people who have taken them.

    They don't work like most people hope they will, and they are not a substitute for proper diet, lifting, and cardio, but many bodybuilders swear by them while they are cutting. I'm not sure which is the best for women. I've heard since they banned Ephedra, none work as well as they used to.


    Edited to add. I have tried Lipo 6, and Grenade, but I don't think I saw any greater fat loss using them, than not. I believe the idea behind them is the caffeine, and giving you enough energy to actually do more, which will help you burn more calories, and fat. If you stay sedentary, you will not see any better results than a person who is not taking them. Coffee, or caffeine pills are cheaper, and probably more healthy than most fat burners.

    Any suggestions for a good fat burner to take? For women?
    Cardio and strength training. Best fat burners you can find and they actually work, unlike the snake oil "magic pill" supplements you can buy in the stores. Mix in some other exercises like fork putdowns and table pushaways and you've got the most efficient weight loss supplements possible.

    Great articles and information on how they work, what ingredients work and what doesn't. Take a read before you decide to go this route.

    Absolutely!!! I didn't want to get too graphic, but you are right. That's why you need to be real careful with what you eat. Makes you more accountable for your food choices. You'll think twice about eating that ice cream. I'm sure that also helps with the success of the pill. You think you're losing weight by taking the pill, when in reality you are just afraid to eat anything lol. Thankfully, I've never had an issue, but I have heard horror stories. I also wouldn't take one with every meal. I think that just sets you up for problems. One a day, usually at dinner, and no bad side effects.

    I tried slim quick, didn't work. I tried a bunch of other diets, pills, etc - didn't work.

    Learning to eat smarter and better, watch portions, log all my food, get up and exercise...that worked and continues to work.

    ETA: Isn't it funny. You spend all that money on fads and a bunch of things that promise you to get you results and in the end...all it takes is you. Things I wish I'd wised up to and taken to heart earlier on.....*sigh*

    Telling you the straight truth without sugar coating it and coddling you doesn't make it rude or negative....

    At what point do you decide that you might not have all the answers?

    Your emotions and your attitude are causing you to ignore a whole lot of good advice.


    If I asked you what kind of wallpaper paste to coat my garage door with so that my car would go faster, would you tell me that it's useless? I sure hope so.

    That's basically what others are doing here (telling you the truth) whether you like it or not.

    You are asking for a method that doesn't work, and when people are telling you that it doesn't work, you are putting your fingers in your ears.

    Put your fingers in something else, it's a far greater fat burner, more so then drugs :P

    To EVERYONE who gave helpful advice- I really appreciate it. And I do log my intake, workout on a regular basis and eat healthy foods.

    The only reason I started to not look at people responses and got irritated by the comments is when people started saying RUDE things and took this post beyond what it should have gone.

    I dont mind positive advice at all. I really do appreciate it. But when you go through this thread you can clearly see that people really are being rude and making jokes for the hell of it!!

    Thats what I dont appreciate!!

    Did you know that once you've commented on a thread, it becomes part of your "My Topics," and will be bumped to the top of your threads whenever someone comments on it?

    It's not a matter of paying close attention to something. Paying close attention to something is saying you aren't going to wear a certain shade of nail polish and someone pointing out that you are still wearing it a couple months later.

    Noticing you commenting on a forum post isn't paying close attention...it's just there. And you make it more obvious by saying you aren't commenting on something by commenting on that something you said you weren't going to comment on.....

    OP, I agree that pills and supplements probably won't accomplish what you want. If you find one that works, it will probably be a temporary effect; however, if you have a big event for which you want to shed the last couple of pounds quickly, I can see where that might make sense.

    Other than that, just WOW. I've been off MFP for a couple of months because I had surgery and couldn't exercise. This is the third thread I've seen today where people are really mean and catty. Have things changed that much in two months?

    I hope you reach your goals and that you do it in a healthy, sustainable way. Best of luck!
