Does anyone use any weight loss supplements?

it's how i got around my 'weak' ankles. also, good shoes!
Do you have a good suggestion on shoes? I had got some Adidas running shoes in the past and it seemed the outsides of them had no support and would actually make it easier for my ankles to give. I thought good running shoes would have been the answer but now they scare me
.
I had the same problem and have really bad ankles. There is one shoe that is really good for it and that is the Adidas Response Cushion. You underpronate like I do so stay away from stability shoes as they are made for people who tend to walk on the inside of there foot so pull your ankle out. I was mistakenly wearing these and was constantly turning my ankles. I agree with the running intervals it us what us working girl me.0 -
Yes! Besides eating at a calorie deficit, I use exercise-weight lifting three times a week and running 4-6 miles three times a week. For me, eating less than I burn and exercising will be all I need.I know many are against them, yet I am curious if anyone swears by any.
I haven't read the rest of your replies so I don't know what others have said, but weight loss supplements are a waste of money. You suppress your appetite though eating properly and eating enough. At least, that's how I have lost 42 pounds.0 -

My weight loss supplements include lots of fruit and veggie to go with not restricting any food as long as it fits my calories. Additional supplements include a bike, a treadmill, and a fitness trampoline. Oh, I forgot. . . my best supplements are my fitbit and single serve Ziplock containers for pre-portioning out all my batch cooking.0

I went to sport check and they were useless. I went to the running room and they were awesome. The watched me walk. Checked my arches, and recommended a bunch of different shoes. It was like running on air!
Def. need me some air shoes lol0 -
this made me laugh so hard, also looking at your profile pic and realizing its you makes it all the more hilarious.0 -
Exercise for me is the best way to lose weight... while i don't run... i do walk.. and i mean i walk a lot... i will admit i don't have weak knees or ankles... I just hate running.. so why do something i will not keep doing... (I don't make excuses)
I use vitamins like i said because I got them free... however, does it make a difference or do I feel a differently.. i must admit ...NO..
but what do i know...0 -
I used to. They were the Apex Thermogenics and I also used to use the Phase-2 Carb Blockers (Apex Fat Burner).
They were good, but I lost way too much weight which I am trying to gain back at this moment. But it's hard, because once you lose a substantial amount of weight, chemically your mind gets altogether changed where you develop a sort of paranoid eating disorder. I am trying to preclude that at all costs.

@raucousexfact: I am like you... i am worried now about gaining my weight back... even though i hear it is all about life changes... i still feel paranold...

No to any weight loss supplement pills. Just take a multi-vitamin everyday and keep using MFP. The VitaFusion MultiVites Gummies are multi-vitamins I take and they are yummy.0

i dont really know if it counts
but ive been using Biotin atm, it seems to be helping loads with weight loss. Which is a bonus as I only bought it for hair and nail growth! haha
Glad to know this! I just started taking it because of hair loss (thyroid, weight loss, PCOS probably all three not helping) so I'm glad to see it does this as well!0 -
I've done some research into weight loss supplements...not really worth the money is the conclusion I've found.
I use protein powder regularly, as well as a green food supplement. I don't think of these as weight loss supplements, however. They are dietary supplements.
I take fish oil capsules, vitamin D, and a B-complex vitamin. My doctor suggested I try these in conjunction with my medication for depression. It seems to help, but I can't say for sure.
I eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, manage my stress and anxiety levels, get plenty of rest. This seems to be the best strategy for weight loss out there.0 -
l have been dabbling with bitter orange, is there anyone out there who knows if it works or its just another marketing hype0

I tried Garcenia Cambogia after seeing Dr. Oz show.
Then I decided to stop wasting my Money.
Concentrated on calory control and 60 minute cardio. Lost 17 pounds so far in 3 months.
I occassionally take the protein shakes. But dont want to make it a routine, thus making sure it does not form a habbit.
Tracking calories using MFP has been very helpful.
BTW, I am 35 M 5'6"0 -
In my opinion, the only ones that are effective are the ones prescribed and closely monitored by a physician.0

Funny I had the exact opposite experience, Running Room put me in a stability shoe after watching me walk and I ended up constantly turning my ankles, I went to Sport Chek explained what my issues was that I walk on the outside of my feet and turn my ankle easily and they said there is no way I should be wearing a stability shoe and they were right ever since I stopped and wear the Adidas Response (about 6 years) I maybe sprain an ankle once a year.0 -
