I bought a pack of these pills yesterday at work, to see what it was all about. I had seen them on TV before but they was only $5 so i thought that i would give it go.
Has anyone lost weight from taking this pill, or like it?
Whats your opinion on this?
& if you don't think that you should take pills that's your own opinion and you can state that, but I'm not asking for advice on not taking it, I'm just seeing if anyone took it and liked it.

Because you typed this sentence, I am guessing deep down you know diet pills don't work and you just wasted $5. If losing weight were as easy as popping pills, why would anyone choose to stay fat?0 -

Actually weight loss pills can and do work on some people.
I had lost over 25 pounds with pills but i couldn't afford them anymore, so i had to stop taking them.0 -
I've taken slim quick. They are basically a caffeine pill that also works as a diuretic. I liked the extra boost of energy I get from them for my work outs, but I can get almost the same boost from drinking a cup of coffee. IDK. In the short term, yes I think they helped a little. In the long term, not so much. My weight loss pace was about the same both on and off of them. Overall, a cup of coffee is cheaper.0

I think she wrote it because she didn't want a lecture on using pills to lose weight.0 -

Same here. I tried them for about a week (before knowing any better) and would get bad headaches.0 -

How much weight did you gain back when you stopped taking them?0 -
Used them a while ago. Lost 20 pounds. I had also changed my diet and began exercising at least 4 days a week though. And lifting weights.
I think the lifestyle change had more effect than the pills honestly. I ditched the pills and started drinking black coffee to replace the caffeine rush that I liked from the pills.
Now I belong to the "diet pills are stupid" camp

Coworker took these diet pills with Japanese packaging all over them, lost about 20lbs in a month.
Other coworker started taking them, had heart palpitations. Stopped taking them.
I tried them, felt cracked out and weird, dry-mouthed, erratic heart beat. Stopped taking because they were scary after 2 or 3 pills.
First coworker stopped taking her pills, gained back the 20lbs and then 20lbs more within a month or two.
Didn't learn my lesson, spent $50 on Health-E Trim, a different sort of diet pill - much to the same effect as the first time. Took maybe ten pills, hated the side effects, too drymouthed/anxious/uncomfortable. Slight appetite reduction, but that was it. Zero weight loss.
A month or two later, desperate and still believing weight loss was the stuff of sorcery, I found MFP. Haunted the forums, found the smart people with sound logic and nutritional advice who had come a long way. Befriended them. Learned some more. Lost 20+lbs.
Still have a little ways to go, but at least I know now what to do - I'm just honest with myself when I don't get the results that I wanted because I wasn't following the plan or life temporarily got in the way and the plan had to be reconfigured. It's cause and effect. That is all. I keep this on my profile to remind me:

There's no "right" or "wrong" way. everyone is different. I've tried them and they did help a little, I think mostly they gave me the extra energy to work out more often. when i stopped taking them i also stopped working out (there were other life factors). I had a friend that used them and she said they did nothing for her. maybe its a person to person thing, maybe its a placebo effect. no idea, but if you like them and wanna use them go for it!

a good alternative to pills is protein shakes, protein gives the same push as pills and ups your metabolism. I tried pills, many types even some that are illegal in the U.S. because they killed athletes, in the end the weight comes back and you stop taking it because you dont like the shakey feeling from all the excess energy/caffene. I lost the weight by switching my solid protein to shakes. 3 shakes a day and 77 lbs down. I took 2 years off of shakes and only gained 15lbs the eintire time (only because I over enjoy sweets). If I had stoped myself from eating/drinking so many sugary calories I wouldnt have gained any back
ETA: I'm back on the shakes and losing like mad again
Oh and I also made sure to eat little fat and medium carbs. 0 -
Im sorry, Im trying to do this the natural way. Without anything I have to take with the word "Quick" in it. Cause trying to lose weight as fast as possible may not be wrong, but it sure aint the best for your system.
Then again, if you were on some kind of get fat quick program to begin with, maybe get slim quick would be the best idea. idk i dont have eating problems.
Good luck!!0 -

fat burners and those other pills do work BUT once you come off of them like you have to if you are following the program guide your will more than likely gain the weight back and sometimes even gain it back in double.
it didnt take you 6 weeks to gain your weight it is not going to take you six weeks to take it off in a way where you can keep it off. eat right and workout hard and you will see the results.
save your money on all that other get thin quick crap0 -
Slim Quick? Oh yes, I love it. I use it everyday. It's called a jump rope and a healthy diet. That'll get you slim and quick!0

If you gained back most of what you lost, then wouldn't it stand to reason that the weight loss you get with taking pills is obviously not sustainable. I know it's cliche but the best way to get started is to just do it. Make a promise to yourself to eat "x" amount of calories every day, and make yourself keep that promise. Once you have a handle on that, then you can start an exercise program. Eventually, your efforts will become habit and you won't have to worry about gaining anything back.
Please don't take this as a criticism of your choices. I'm honestly trying to help. You can't take those pills for the rest of your life. The only way to successfully regulate your body weight over the long term is to take action to do so.0 -
I don't like how they make me feel it's too much caffeine agree with the other post save your money$$$$ Feel Free to add me if your looking for friends.0

So you used them before... couldn't afford to keep taking them and gained the weight back? Now you want to start taking them again?0 -
My opinion on the matter is that fitness pills/weight loss pills should not exist. Fitness is not something that should be handed out in a bottle. Everyone who has it worked hard for it and made sacrifices in their life to get it. If you're not willing to do these things for it then you just plain don't deserve it.0

So you only want answers from people that it worked for them? If those were the only people that would have replied you would have gotten no replies to this thread,Whats your opinion on this?
& if you don't think that you should take pills that's your own opinion and you can state that, but I'm not asking for advice on not taking it, I'm just seeing if anyone took it and liked it.
Nearly every response was a nice polite response just not the response you wanted.If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it all.
I'm not trying to not do it the right way, i just need a jump start.
There is no jump start.

calories in < calories out = weight loss

Don't go for a quick fix, don't take pills or follow fad diets, don't eat at a huge deficit you won't be able to sustain it. You didn't gain the extra weight in a month your not going to lose it in a month.0 -
Kind of sounds to me like you are gong to take them regardless and are just looking for verification. Which I'm afraid you won't find on a healthy lifestyle forum.0

This thread makes me sad. Why would you want to put chemicals in your body to lose weight...why not use food(fuel) and exercise?0
