diet pills?

only thing that really works is a ECA stack. just do cardio & eat right(most of the time)

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

Yes, we are all about doing it the healthy way !!!

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.

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.

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.")

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.

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.

There will always be an issue with people who post links to their pro ana blogs. Anorexia is a terrible condition and I am not going to pretend I'm an expert but I know enough to know it has very little to do with wanting to be a healthy weight and live a healthy lifestyle. I think that people who come here looking for help and advice with whatever eating disorder they may have will find support but if you present a profile with a ticker showing you want to lose 70 lb and a pic showing an already thin body, ask about diet pills without giving any background and talk about hipbones poking people in the face then you are gonna get flamed.

I've used diet pills and let me be honest with you, it's not possible to keep taking those pills. They make you feel crazy, they make you think crazy. And once you stop taking them, you'll start eating again, you'll gain the weight back. Even if you do watch what you eat and exercise, those pills RUIN your metabolism...

But, I do recommend three cups of green tea a day. It's an incredibly healthy hot drink (Remember not to sweeten or cream is, as it will lessen the effects of it.) Three cups a day can increase your metabolism by up to 15%, has loads of antioxidants and can decrease appetite (So it's awesome when you're craving something in that long stretch between lunch and dinner that will spoil your appetite [;)

Stay healthy xo

Even if you can get your MD to prescribe it, there are no 100% safe diet pills. None of the over the counter diet pills are FDA approved or regulated (except maybe Alli?). This means that the active ingridients are not scientifically proven to help weight loss at all - and not proven to be safe! Many of them have been taken off the market in past years for causing serious health side effects, heart damage, and for even causing death. I would be very careful. Many have caffeine for an active ingredient, and that will have only effects for a few days to a week before your body builds up a tolerance.

I am in the medical field, and do not know one person who has had long term weight loss from a pill, and they can be dangerous.

I don't blame you for wondering though. I've been at a point in my life where I thought, I don't even care if its dangerous if I can have a quick fix for my weight problems!! But that never lasts if you don't make long term changes.

You will get there eventually if you stay on track the healthy way

They are all bad. There is no magic pill. Even if you have the most radical surgery it isn't a passport into a happy balanced life. Surgery and pills are for when you are so obese and desperate that there is no other way, when you can't walk or function because of your addiction. When you can still make conscious decisions outside of serious food addictions then eat less, exercise more and accept we werent all made to be size 8

you are 5'7" 130 lbs? that is the lower end of healthy weight. Your profile says you want to be 100 lbs? That is BELOW healthy range and is NOT good or attainable without ruining your body and health.

Please seek professional help and a doctor's opinion on what your weight should be for your age and height. Also, if you are under 18 as you say, then you are still GROWING. You need plenty of calories for your body to adequately reproduce cells. You may be destined to end up 5'8" or 5'9", in which case, you will probably be about 140, HEALTHY and THIN. There is no need to aim for "scrawny and gross". Please get help.

Hey. I am almost 18, so I just put that I was. I do appreciate your concern. I have not grown now in about two years. I do have some friends who are my height and ideal weight and still look healthy. I also have some friends who take diet pills. I have never messed with them. I was more so wondering about the more natural kinds, the ones that help you lose your water weight. Thank you, though.
