in Getting Started
Hi all. So I've got a LOT of weight to lose this time around, set myself a goal of 4 months to lose around 25lbs. Anyone had any success with anything that boosted their weight loss but that didn't gain it again as soon as they stopped taking it? Something like xls medical or similar? Thanks all x

    You're looking for a pill to help boost weight loss?

    No disrespect intended...but when you say you have "a LOT of weight to lose" and then say 25lbs... it's slightly exaggerated. Besides, there are no quick fixes when it comes to losing weight.

    There is nothing on the market that you can take to "boost" weight loss. Everything marketed to that effect is a waste of money.

    Buy a digital food scale and use MFP to calculate and track your calories. A calorie deficit is the key for weight loss.

    I wish it was that simple, just take a pill and the fat would drain away....

    25lbs is a lot for me. It feels like an impossible task. I'm usually of the opinion not to use pills or gimmicks but I'm so scared in won't manage it on my own and I can't just not meet my boyfriends family, not attend the family wedding etc. I know I need to have a calorie deficit and eat well and exercise, I'm just scared I don't have enough time to lose the weight I feel uncomfortable being without a boost of some description. I also know it's a long shot asking on here but thought it was worth it. Thanks

    If they don't like you because you have 25 extra pounds that's not a family you're going to enjoy being part of forever. I'm sure you care far more than anyone else. Focus on counting calories accurately and you'll get there.

    Totally doable without pills if you put your mind to it and just do it. Calories deficit is all you need. Use the formulas on MFP to give you those numbers. How do I know this will work? Down 27 pounds since January 6th.
