Don't do it. That's my advice. Alli is a waste of money.0

I try to stay at 1300 calories a day and work out 5 days a week religiously....at least 45 minutes of cardio, and some weight training. I weigh and measure my food. I'm starting to feel a bit ripped off for the work I'm doing. I'm losing weight very slowly. Is there a supplement that actually works??? I don't want to stop working out or any of that nonsense, I'd just like to make a bit more progress. I don't want to lose motivation.
@SLDB68 how many weeks did it take you to lose the 38 pounds?0 -
Vegetables!! Lots of vegetables0

All weight loss suppliments are a waste of time and money. Don't buy into crap like raspberry ketones. The only stuff that actually works is used by body builders, is highly illegal and can kill people. Anything that speeds up weight loss beyond 3lbs a week is bound to be highly dangerous - just don't go there!! Safe and sustainable weight loss is a long process. you should just focus on diet and exercise. 1300 calories seems possibly too low to me -especially with exercise everyday. Sometimes having too few calories can stop weight loss. More importantantly make sure the calories you do eat are of the best quality. Consider going low carb or vegan. Cut all sugar from your diet completely. Drink only water. These are a few things to try if you want faster weight loss and will have a bigger impact than any supplement ever could.0

The only supplement to weight loss that I have found any success with is exercise.0

However, it really trains you how to eat because if you eat too high of fat you will end up with poop in your pants. No joke. It has chemical components to prevent lipids from being taken up into your system but the side effects are horrendous. People report leaky stool and other very unpleasant and embarassing bowel symptoms. Slow and steady is definitely the way to go.

This sounds like a dreadful mistake you'd only make once in a lifetime.0 -

I've been told that I might want to add calories. I don't think I can do it! If I get desperate.0 -
My goal for now is 185. I've been within 10 lbs of that for SO long! I was at 192.2 before the crazy 3 lb gain.0

@SLDB68 how many weeks did it take you to lose the 38 pounds?
It was actually two separate diets. Im down 45 lbs. Now im apparently in maintenance mode. 6 months total.0 -

After 23 months at just a bit more than 1 pound per week I'm down 115 pounds. In another couple of years I'll get to where I want to be. After 25 years of getting fat I'm not going to lose it quickly.
Also as I get more active I'm developing more muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat. So? I still need to add the muscle mass for health as much as I need to lose weight.
Congrats! That's amazing!0 -

You have a lot of generic items and cups in there, they're inaccurate. Also days that are not logged, are you eating these days or taking a day off?

The supplements that work are always pulled from the market because they're dangerous. As of now, there is no safe pill that burns fat faster. When there is, it will be on every newscast, magazine cover, and it'll be all over the Internet. People will even sell things that sound like it, trying to make some money. Everyone will be talking about it. You won't be able to escape knowing about it.
Until that day comes, the old-fashioned advice is still the best: eat right and exercise.
Losing weight slowly beats not losing weight! It's hard work. It takes a long time. But in the end, you'll be thin.
It's worth doing!!0 -
