weight loss pills????

Have patience to do it right. Find a diet that works for you and skip the pills. Studies incdicate most rapid weight lose people gain back as opposed to those who make healthier eating habits. Good luck!

You won't want to hear this, but there is no magic pill. Only hard work and consistency. You don't need to pound salads and vegetables. Eat at a caloric deficit, consistently and accurately track your calories and you will lose weight.

I have no advice. Just a thought.

What do you suppose is going to happen if you do get weight loss pills that work?

You lose the weight, you go off the pills, you gain the weight, you go back on the pills, etc.

as everyone is saying there are no magic pills, but there are certain things that if your diet is poor can help.
vitamins vitamins vitamins! fruit and vegetable supplements to complement your poor eiating habits and daily fiber and multivitamin, yes you will spend some money but at least you will be putting some of the right things into you and your body will thank you and if you continue to work out then you will start to feel healthy, getting fit has to start from the inside.

Or you can just suck it up and actually eat nutrient dense foods....

^^ this , stick to your whole natural foods .

I used phentermine about 13 years ago to lose a lot of weight. I lost over 63 lbs in about 7 months. I did this with medical supervision. I was also exercising consistently and running, which helped me to keep it off for a while. However, when I went off the medication, I did not change any of my eating habits. I returned to eating the same unhealthy foods in huge quantities. I gained back all of the weight that I lost and have spent the last several years fighting my metabolism to get it back to something like normal. All that being said, I do not recommend the diet pills unless you are using them for a very short period of time to jump-start a real weight loss program. This time I am doing it the right way, without meds. Healthy eating and a good exercise program will get you where you want to be, it just might take you a little longer. Two big things I have learned: 1) There are no shortcuts to long-term weight loss. 2) Diets don't work...make lifestyle changes that will stay with you for the rest of your life but don't ever diet.

Good luck and God Bless!!

OK, Thank You.
So, no pills for me!!! :happy: I'll keep doing my exercises and tracking calories.

How many calories I should eat to loose weight ??

That depends on your height and weight. Never, never eat under 1200. What did MFP recommend?

Just check, it says 1,555

Eat that, MFP creates a deficit for you. It assumes you do not exercise. So any exercise calories are a bonus, eat them.

^Listen to this advice.

Wait a minute here...

Someone asked about a dangerous diet idea, received good advice, and is following it???

:noway:


I thought we changed things around here?! I thought we all had to tell her whatever she did works for her and we support her every decision?!

I'm so confused.

(joking aside it's great to hear someone listening to the sound advice given. Stay away from gimmicks, eat the right amount of calories, and exercise. MFP is all you need)

^This is fantastic advice IMO

Do you like ANY veggies? Like others said you dont need to eat them to lose weight but it would help. There is a book too called sneaky chef that tells you how to sneak fruits and veggies into every day meals

The magic pill you should take is a multi vitamin and as a woman an iron supplement Esp if you dont make the best food choices this will help

The best thing IMO to do is to make small changes that you know you can stick with - switch out some processed foods for fresh ones, eliminate soda, watch one nutirent per week, etc. Sounds like you have a good attitude with this, so just use that to get yourself up and get moving to start, and you can add on more workouts/positive food changes from there!

I hate salad. I find other ways to get my veggies. (and I get plenty of them). Sneak them into other foods, so that you don't miss out on the nutrients!
