    I wonder the same thing.
    Especially about Herbalife.

    But I always hear that when you stop you gain the weight back and then some. So I stick to the old fashion way, good ol exercise and eating healthy.

    Best of luck!

    Yes. The Sudafed you have to sign for at the pharmacy. It cut my appetite in half. Unfortunately, it also gave me heart palpitations and higher blood pressure. But for the eight months I used it, I dropped weight.

    If your question is, "Have I tried a HEALTHY, successful diet pill?" then the answer is no.

    oever the counter made me sick to my stomach. Meridia worked, but of course they took it off the market & my weight went back up.

    1 a day mens chewables have worked for me. I take 2 in the morning, eat healthy, and work out. The pounds have been coming off steadily. I attributed it to the ones that look like a bunch of grapes not the ones that look like raspberries.

    Why not the raspberry ones? Don't they have ketones?? :embarassed:

    I've used a few. One was a carb blocker, worked ok, when I ran out I gained the weight back, and when I bought more it was like my body had built a tolerance and it didn't work anymore. I tried one of the "energy/suppressant" types, made me shaky like other readers said. And I only lost like 8 pounds. I tried Lipozene for awhile and that worked well, it works by making you feel full when you're actually eating, so you eat less. As soon as I stopped taking it I gained the weight back, and my downfall with it was that if I intended to have a pig out session, I wouldn't take the pills (you take them right before you eat), so my own behaviors that got me fat still kept me fat with the pills. I've given up on the pills and what is working for me now is getting to the gym instead of the kitchen when I am having a bad day. Good luck!

    Nope. It leaves me constipated and super anxious like my head was going to explode!

    I took Stacker 2 with ephedra stay awake when I worked overnight shifts. I never got hungry and my heart stayed racing. Then they were taken off the market for killing people or something so no more pills for me.

    ETA: Ephedra? Ephedrine? Idk.

    Funny you mentioned the Sudafed. I've been taking the same thing but the off-brand one for the past several days because my allergies have been really bad. I've noticed that I have way more energy and am hardly ever hungry. Now I know why you have to sign for them at the pharmacy. It's tempting for me to keep taking them but I know that the smart thing to do would be to not.

    Over a period of twenty years, I tried both OTC diet pills and one prescription. Some worked in the short run, but none for the long haul. This is the first time in my life anything has ever worked. What is working now is this; eating at a calories deficit.

    Can I borrow your shake weight? I'll be very gentle. Unless it's ok to go crazy with it.

    I have heard great things from coworkers about 1DB Overdrive Prime / 1DB Goddess Prime supplements from 1st Phorm productline (I believe they are based in St. Louis). From what I have been told it really does do wonders ...but it isnt a "magic pill". You still have to put in the hard work in order to get the results you want. If anything they offer a 110% money back guarantee after thirty days if you dont like the product nothing to lose in my honest opinion.

    I am actually going to give it a try myself. Just do a google search.

    Nothing works unless you add cardio and eating healthy and within calories. If you are not doing that, nothing will work and /or you will gain what you lost back as soon as you stop. There is no magic pill...and even if something helps with appetite, you still have to work out and eat healthy.

    No.

    Learning moderation, and portion control have worked wonders though.
