    Yeah... NO.

    Don't take that stuff. Read this for the "lovely" side effects.

    Trader joe's cheesecake bites. You take one in the morning and it will make you skip breakfast.

    There are some appetite suppressants that can help you maintain a calorie deficit without being overly hungry. But I'd be sure to check the side effects and ask yourself if it's really worth it. At some point you'll have to wean yourself off them and learn to eat within your calorie limit, or regain the weight.

    I tried diet pills once in high school...all they did was make me act like a crazy meth addict. It was awful and I didn't lose weight.

    They're good for losing weight in your wallet. If you're losing weight, it's because of the 1200 calories, not the pill.

    Exactly!

    Waste of money. Spend it on buying foods you will enjoy while eating at a calorie deficit. Experiment in the kitchen, weigh your foods, log your meals and enjoy the journey.

    What is with the "1200 calorie" magic number around here? I see so many posts with this...

    Your calories should be set to your current expenditure with a deficit of 3500 calories per week (diet + exercise), which is 500 calories daily. Aim for .5lb loss per week. You're not just losing weight, you are also changing your behaviors that caused you to gain that weight in the first place. There is no pill that will make that change permanent and you are setting yourself up to rebound if you don't focus on changing your habits.

    I'm curious, OP, you want to compare what you're taking to what anyone else is taking, but you don't say what it is you're taking. So what are you taking? Was it prescription? If not, where did you get it, and who recommended it to you? Did they provide any studies or other information to back it up?

    Yes it was prescribed it's call phentermine.

    Adipex DOES work! BUT you will gain it back when you get off adipex because that makes you not eat and when you are done you will eat again

    Well.....

    Doesn't that kind of mean it DOESN'T work? ;)

    Ok... As far as pills. the Belviq is only to help with weight loss. It is not sold as a magic pill to make you lose weight. Also information I received from my doctor states if you do not change your eating habits that you will regain weight when you go off the pills. The pills are for those that need extra help in getting started on the right path and then continue with the right diet and exercise. Yes you are losing weight because of your lifestyle changes but the pills help with curving hunger and getting a jump start. What works for one does not work for all let's please keep that in mind. If it helps you get on the right path what is the problem just don't count on it to solve all your issues with food. Should be used along with diet, exercise, nutrition and therapy if necessary.

    Thank you for that. My Dr prescribed me Belviq today. I do my best to eat 1200 calories a day but I get cravings because I am also insulin resistant so my body is fighting for me to put any weight I lose back on. The FIGHT is REAL.
