My 1st post ... Please i need help

Dr Oz has his name plastered all over anything with the word diet attached to it.
I think his intentions in the beginning were good... but I am sure now its just one big marketing money making ploy.

Also if there was a magic drug none of us would be here. We would all take the magic drug and be skinny!
Don't waste your money. Spend it on your kids

hi, i don't know this product. but i know 1 rule...... for the height loss you need 2 things!
1: exercise, add fitness to your life
2: don't eat crap


the think with craps is help you to loose some kilos but without change your metabolism, after few months you take MORE kilos that you have before.

(sorry for my English is not very good)

You're not going to lose that much in 3 months. Try doing it the healthy way by watching what you eat.

Hey Stella, welcome to MFP!

Now you've made the first step in committing to losing the weight, a couple of things worth considering;

50 lbs in 3 months is an average loss of 3-4 lbs per week, which is a) difficult to achieve and b) difficult to sustain. A slow steady loss of 1-2 lb per week is much more achievable, more likely to last, and you won't be starving and miserable.

Also, there are no weight loss products out there worth taking. Honestly, it's all bunkum, some of it dangerous...don't believe it!!

Cut down your intake and eat at a calorie deficit. There is no need to cut out entire food groups, or to follow a special "diet" - that's so hard, you'll feel deprived and will (probably) fall off the regime fairly quickly.

Do some research on your Total Daily Estimated Expenditure (TDEE), on your Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) - that will start shaping how you are going to do this. Search this forum for the posts "In place of a road map" and "path to sexypants" - seriously the most comprehensive diet advice on the internet.

Good luck!! :flowerforyou:

Like everyone else says, there is no miracle pill and the only way to do it is to watch you calories and move more. I know how hard it is to get started when you feel you have so far to go and I have been there considering all these pills and potions trying to find something that will make it easier but it just doesn't exist. Trust me though, once you get started (small easy steps to start off with) you will see the weight start to come off and it will motivate you to keep going. The only tools you need are your motivation, MFP diary to keep you on the straight and narrow and friends on here to talk to and give and get advice. I hope you will reconsider the pills. Good luck and feel free to friend me :flowerforyou:

Oy vey dr oz......pls no

:laugh:

He's the "As Seen on TV" doctor, right?

Pleased to meet you.

I would suggest taking a meal replacement or what ever will not help you truly address the issues you need to. I wonder if one of your internal systems went on the blink causing the problem. I would suggest you try to establish if your chemistry is functioning properly, blood tests soon.

My next thing is to say much as you would like to loose 50 lb your body will only let go what it can and 2 lb or just under 1kg is what is recommended because it is better for the body and while it is going you learn what is best for yourself. If by eating at a calorie deficit, as you will have set up here, when you entered your details you gave height, weight and weekly loss aim which gave you a suggested level of intake, if you can manage to be on or about this level you will be lighter- healthier in the weeks to come. It may seem ironic but depending on the level of activity you set for yourself, less or more active, activity over your normal will give you additional calories because of the extra effort and it is advisable to eat some of these as well so as to give you the fuel you need to live healthily.

Please take care of yourself. Be healthy.

I have tried trimsecrets,
I have tried acai berry extract,
I have tried raspberry ketones

..and NOTHING!!

I have tried mfp and look at me go! Only got about 20-25lbs to go and losing at around 1lb a week I've been able to stick at it for 53days now.

I'm not poor. If there was a pill that worked bank of mummy and daddy would have bought me it and I would be skinny, except welcome to the real world and they pay my gym membership instead.

Any tablet, pill or potion that says you can loose this much in this amount of time is normally a con. Lets face it you get nothing in this life without hard work, nothing is free, or easy. I am 46 and I know over 40 it can be more difficult to loose the weight, I also am controlling my diabetes just with diet and exercise and so far so good. I have recently started a low carb and high protein diet which seems to be working really well for me. I am now loosing about a 1lb a week on a steady basis. Since January 13th I have lost 10.5lbs, with a big loss of 7lbs in the first 11 days. So if anything I would aim for a steady weight loss of 1 - 2lbs, by reducing calorie intake, logging your food and adding exercise. I am just starting 30 day shred dvd, which is amazing and hopefully will help me firm up as i'm loosing weight. Good luck with your weight loss journey, it's not easy but then what is.

Wow, this is almost exactly me! I am also just starting 30 day shred and focussing more on a healthier lifestly. Its a bonus that the extra pounds are coming off slowly but surely too. Would it be a bit stalkerish to friend you!!!

Slow down, set a reasonable weight loss goal and read this:

I'm just about to finish up my 3rd month here and I've lost half of 50 lbs. That's with carefully watching what I eat and exercising 6 days a week.

You have kids, you owe it to them to not experiment with your health. Change your lifestyle, do not try suspicious products which sound too good to be true.

It is a total waste of money.

Hi and welcome, I'm new here myself and understand how frustrating it is to want to lose weight and get back to being healthy. The thing we must remember is the weight didn't come on overnight and it will not come off overnight either. I have to remind myself of this all the time and teach myself to be patient as in the phrase slow and steady wins the race. Also I wouldn't buy anything sponsored by Dr. OZ, he would sell his soul to make a dollar, no offense to anyone that likes that man but I don't trust how he puts his name on anything and everything just to make a buck. Also, I don't believe there are any magic pills that make you lose weight, they will either :
A. not work at all and you wasted your money and still didn't lose any weight except for in your wallet or
B. they have some unsafe side effects that could cause damage to your body and or
C. lets even say they do temporarily help you lose weight, as soon as you stop taking them then the weight comes back on.
Trust me if there was a pill or drink out there, there would be no overweight celebrities.

So my advice, find friends on here for support, build yourself a workout routine that you enjoy and utilize all the tools on here that are for free and you will lose the weight with time.
