Diet pills

well, what the hell is she taking for diet pills?

and secondly, once she stops taking them she's going to gain it all back so then when she stands next to you, she'll feel like the flabby one and you'll be skinnier and staying skinnier cause youre doing it healthy!!!

seriously though, 30 lbs in one month? what diet pill does THAT?! i used to be the diet pill queen before i realized they did nothing and i didnt lose 30 lbs. holy hell.

i bet she's jiggly underneath her clothes and you wont be

You are definitely doing it the best and RIGHT way. She will very likely gain it back once she stops taking the pills and eats normal again.

Does that help?

You're definitely going about it the healthy way! Not to mention, when she stops taking them, she will probably gain some (if not all) of that weight back. You have a better chance of keeping off the weight you lose. Good luck!

You are Right - This is the way you should be going!!!!!! Diet pills might be a quick fix but they don't necessarily work the same for everyone! Slow and Steady wins the race, with more chance of keeping the weight off long term. Quick fixes = the weight piling back on after *going off the pills *upping food after starving yourself and on and on and on! Believe me, I know from experiance so I learned the hard way. This time, I'm going to do it the right way even if it takes me 10 years

You ARE doing it the right way! Take it from someone who has done it both ways. Once she discontinues taking the pills, she WILL gain the weight back- maybe not all of it but a good amount. Hang in there!

Agree with this 100%
I can't believe she's pushing the diet pill on her friends, ugh.

Your doing it the right way and will have lasting results if you stick to it! Diet pills are not safe or long term. As soon as she stops them the weight will come back on and who wants to take diet pills forever. I have a friend that has been on Phentermine since last summer. She has lost some weight but now it has stalled and inspite of the fact that she is still taking the pills she is slowly gaining pounds back. Feed your body well and exercise and you will be rewarded...even if it is painfully slow sometimes.!

I've done the Diet pill thing always to go back to where i started cuz when I stopped them i still went back to old habit. Not only that but would only gain more weight. This is the first time I've done it the old fashion way and I feel the best i've ever felt and i eat and just overall healthy. Keep up the good work in the Long runn you will be Fit and Healthier.

You WILL GET THERE! Be constant and STEADY! Stand next to her in 6 months AFTER she STOPS taking the DRUGS, if she has not stopped in 3 months she may need a drug addiction intervention!

HAHAHA! Yep!! Great minds!

OK
This is from experience
the pills she is probably on are either amphetamine based or ephedrine .....done botha nd thats why I am 19 stone, it strips the fat but your body goes into starvation and as soon as you stop taking them.......3 times the fat attaches it self to your body.

My tip.............................Run run away. its false and will never make you happy

I think you are getting a consistent message here... the don't go there message.

There is no proven long term fix for obesity that doesn't involve changing your lifestyle.

Every diet pill out there has negative side effects ranging from the unpleasant to the potentially fatal.

Examples include Alli (Xenacal) which causes diahrea and greasy smelly discharge, Meridia (which is similar to an antidepressant), Ephedra, etc.

Long term... none of them have proven to work.

Even weight loss surgery is questionable as people are dying from complications of surgery.

A proper lifestyle is something you will carry with your for all of your days. You will feel better about yourself for doing so.

You should never take the quick fix when you are looking at your health. Chances are you won't get what you bargained for.

Losing weight slowly and toning as you go help your skin to adjust with your weight loss.

I'd take slow and toned to fit over quick and flabby any day.

So I use to manage a Dr's office who prescribed diet pills (phentermine) and let me tell you some stories...

So first of all, losing weight IS a lifestyle change. You HAVE to learn to eat the right foods and increase your activity. For some (ok--most) of the patients came in, got their pills, lost the weight, but never really changed their behavior. They still ate badly and didn't increase their activity. Yes! They lost weight. No doubt about it at all. However, a few months later after they reached their target weight and no longer on the diet pills, they gained it ALLLLLL back and then some.

So does it suck that she got thin quickly with little to no effort--YES. Does it suck to have to do all this work and slowly lose the weight in a healthy manner? Sometimes.

But in the end, you want to get off the yo-yo diet ride and lose the weight for good...right?

Trust me Dez, I've SEEN these patients...over and over.

Diet pills are for fad dieting. If you really want to lose weight the best way to do that is watch your daily intake (using myfitnesspal) and also exercising. Don't get me wrong, pills may help some people but unless you change your habits then the weight will simply return once you stop taking the pills.
