    Just going to leave this here:

    3 Different types of Flags and How to Use Them:

    Spam: Use this flag to report BOT style spam. If its a non-sense post with a link or one account posting a flood of oh say posts about an astrology hotline, then please use this flag to report it. 5 flags will automatically move that content into the spam queue to be reviewed by our moderators. Items in the spam queue are hidden until they are either approved by a moderator as not being spam or are deleted by a moderator after being verified as spam. If a person is advertising (i.e. buy my great new product), please use the Reported Posts flag.

    Abuse: Use this flag to report extreme abuse of our guidelines; such as posting of pornographic images or hate speech. 5 flags will automatically move that content into the abuse queue to be reviewed by our moderators. Items in the abuse queue are hidden until they are either approved by a moderator as not being abuse or are deleted by a moderator after being verified as abuse. Items marked for abuse should be both severe and urgent. If it does not meet this criteria it will be approved by a moderator and returned to the community without further action.

    *Reported Posts*: Use this flag to let us know about posts that violate our Community Guidelines or to ask us to delete your own post. Every post that is reported goes into a Reported Posts queue that is reviewed by a staff or volunteer moderator. This content is not hidden while its in review.

    *******What happens when a user abuses the flag feature*******

    Users who flag content which does not meet the criteria for a flag will be subject to warnings and points. This includes users who are flagging content due to past events gone sour, a dislike of the user, and those who are trying to incite drama, flame-bait, or are flagging to attack another user in a thread due to disagreement.

    In that case, every single one of my flags need to be reviewed, since I've never posted spam, pron or hate speech.

    here here :)

    I was flagged for asking if the poster used a food scale? and ridiculousness like that!

    Do not be offended by flags. They are red badges of courage imo

    I'll tell you what: If you tell me how you plan to keep the weight off after you stop taking them, then I'll recommend a good appetite suppressant.

    I make sure to drink a glass of water with every meal. But really, prevention of hunger is the best suppressant. Snacks that include protein and fat help to keep me on track.

    Protein, fiber, water.
    For me, personally, it's the horrid fat photo. :/

    To understand both sides of anything, don't you need pros and cons, weighing information to come to a reasonable conclusion...oh wait...that is called communication...my bad.

    Phen/fen was crazy effective. I lost 60 pounds effortlessly.

    Now I eat plenty of protein, fat, and fiber, and drink plenty of water. Less sexy, but no side effects.

    During comp prep I use Garcinia Cambogia. It doesn't suppress my appetite completely but it helped take the edge off. You need to take it about 30 -40 minutes prior to eating.

    Where can you purchase these?

    Caffeine.

    I get up at noon (I'm up until 4 am every morning. Don't judge me.) and a cup of black coffee keeps my mind off of food until at least 2:30. Sometimes I forget I haven't eaten yet and have to cram something down my gullet on my way out the door.

    Coffee works for me, but I feel like crap when I drink it on an empty stomach. It sucks to need food - which you can tell because you're starting to get a headache and feel out of sorts - but not want to eat it.

    Coffee's great right after a meal. Then it buys me some extra time before the next.

    Also, for sure, focusing on protein and fiber (and fat, but that's a given bc can't imagine cooking without it.)

    I second the suppressant of never wanting to see my calories go in the red. That keeps me in check quite well.

    Exercise. There's even peer reviewed clinical evidence.

    I haven't read over these posts so I may be wrong - but I'm quite sure I'm one of very few people that have tried appetite surppressants and wanted to devour everything in site!!!!

    After 4 months of gym time and zero pounds lost on the scale my doctor prescribed me a med that helped so greatly. It took all the water of of me and controlled my appetite long enough for me to get my logging under control. I only took for 3 weeks although I could have for 3 months.

    I have tried appetite suppressants in the past and they never seemed to work for me. I did not feel less hungry at all. In fact, taking them and them not working made me even more aware of how hungry I was.
