diet pills?

Options
thoughts? also i would like to try some.ive been chubby my whole life. and im losing weight, id just like to speed it up alittle bit.



(just discussion)
I'm not doing it for anyone. to be 100% HONEST. i have a loving boyfriend who loves my chubby ness. but im not doing any of this weight loss for him. Im doing it for me. Im the one who has to look in the mirror. No one else. So what if im happy at 200lbs or 100lbs?

im not concerned about the opinions of my weight or how im going about it. i just wanted opinions on the pills.

    I used Phentermine it worked well however you have to teach yourself not to fall back into old habits when you stop taking them
    also did b12 with lipotriptic injections and I felt like it helped more than anything

    Diet pills don't help you learn the long term habits you need in order to lose weight and keep it off. Like all the other quick fixes out there, they don't work in the long run. You're better off eating a healthy diet (fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, low fat dairy, lots of water, no processed foods, no refined sugar, no artificial sweeteners) and exercise, both cardio and strength training. The weight will come off slower but it's healthier for your body and you'll learn the healthy habits you need in order to live a healthy life.

    It sounds like you are looking for a easy way out. Unless you do it the right way, exercise and eat healthy, you will gain the weight back on. Its about a lifestyle change, not dieting till you reach your goal. You can do it girl! Make it a goal to exercise 6 days a week for the rest of your life. Exercise should be fun, not tiring. Find something you enjoy.

    Please do not encourage this girl to take pills.

    To the OP:

    PLEASE seek help from a professional. You are going down a scary road that can lead to death. If you value your life and your health at all, seek help.


    (Excerpt from her blog if anyone feels I am too harsh on her:
    "I’m pro ana. And you can judge me for it if you like. I’m a pretty motivated person. I just want spider legs, scrawny arms, and a waist that people gawk at. I want my hip bones to stabb you when I give you a hug, and my collar bones to smirk at you. It will happen.")

    most Drs are hesitant to prescribe diet pills. Since usually as soon as you stop taking them your hunger and weight just come back. I have done them many times as a youth and now I am a fat old lady. Just do it the natural way and learn to eat properly

    The only way to lose weight and keep it off is by diet and exercise. A good thing to do is to take some sort of natural supplement. I used to take Green Tea pills that helped me a lot. Drinking green tea is really good for you and you can buy it in pill form. I've also read that Cinnamon is good for weight loss. You can buy it in pill form as well. Drinking 64 oz of water a day will speed up weight loss and cutting out soda will dramatically reduce weight loss as well in the beginning. I would say use green tea pills. Also, I take a pre-workout supplement called Jack3d that is awesome. It gives you energy and energizes your muscles so you can have a good workout. It doesn't burn any extra calories or anything, but it helps you get up and actually go work out which is perfect for me.

    Remember anything worth having is worth working for. If you want weight loss that lasts you have to work hard to get it.

    Sweet girl, if you did say this...You are worth way more? Who are you trying to impress, that you think they want you to look this way??? No offense but anyone that loves you does not. If you are looking to attract men..men like curvy girls who usually weigh around 135...bc boobs and a tight (large) bum are heavy. Google most attraction women, and you will find women who have figures..not bones. I am married and my husband, likes me to have curves...I am pretty sure you would want to be married one day right??? Not that all men are shallow, but guys don't like boney girls.

    Jeswolfe speaks truly, I'll second what she says about male appreciation. Not to pile on, Miss.

    I'm curious, what is the motivation behind "ana"?

    I devoutly hope your success is healthy.

    What's ana? Why do you want your bones to stick out? Yuck...and spider legs...that just sounds awful.

    i'm not advocating either way on the pills, just making it clear to those of you who think we are all here to lose weight the 'healthy' way, that is not true. there are many reasons people join MFP & i have seen plenty of people on here who have gone hardcore clean eating & exercising & others who struggle with EDs & some who use MFP in conjunction with a crash/fad diet & plenty who just are trying to count calories in their everyday fast food & quick meal busy lives... besides there are people on here trying to GAIN weight too. there have been past forum posts about pills where plenty of people have great advice. i doubt the girl started this thread just looking for someone to tell her not to. i think the point was advice, opinions, & experiences, not judgment & uneducated pouncing saying no! if you have nothing to add to the thread, then don't write anything at all. ugh.

    anyway, thoughts on your question from my experience- i've used phentermine, it needs an rx, but is amazing & dangerous if not monitored. dexatrim max works without the nausia or racing heart, but took a few days of use before noticing a difference in hunger suppression. oxy elite pro is probably my favorite if you want energy & quick results. green tea & hoodia help for hunger suppression. metabolife made me forget to eat because i simply wasn't hungry & didn't have any bad side effects either except being awake at night from the caffeine. i say, do what works for you. you may find it is easy enough to stick to your allotted calories & exercise & not need any diet aid, but there is a reason there are so many on the market... not everyone is able to stick to a low calorie diet.

    No I dont esp since I am struggling with anorexia right now..I have had this disease for 20 plus year and would not wish it on my worst enemy. What these girls do not understand is once you get to a really low body weight your chemicals in your brain change and those thoughts are really hard to ccontrol. This has cost me just about everything my life include. Yes I almost died and yet...but I am trying to recover and it just gets me so upset to here of these people who want to be anorexic.....you might think you do but trust me you dont..life is not fun when you are to weak to do anything or even worse yet locked in a mental hospital because if you dont gain weight you will die. I hope she takes some of this to heart
