    You don't need pills or purified water.

    You just need to eat less calories than you burn.

    THIS!!! ALL THE WAY!!!!

    The water is great, and if the pills motivate you, you’ll do fine.

    Out of everything people recommend, you’re mindset is the most important. If your friend and those pills get you to move, you’ll be fine.

    @yeska425 , Congratulations on getting started and kinda reaching-out to the community here for a little reinforcement. It all begins with one step, right?

    I think that if you're willing to commit yourself to a reasonable caloric deficit (as guided by MyFitnessPal or other solidly supported science) that you'll do great things for yourself.

    Hopefully, you've done a little digging on those pills, they look to be the latest formulation of Synedrex (I believe this is Metabolic Nutrition's third formulation trying to skirt FDA and other health organization bans on their choice of ingredients). If the version you have there has 2-aminoisoheptane listed as the second ingredient, it is their 3rd-formulation and you may want to read this tid-bit from USF :smile:

    Like the other folks are saying, you are strong enough to do this for yourself; just work at things one step at a time (and this community can help keep ya movin' forward) :)

    Good post...just belaboring the point. Some of these supplements may seem harmless, but they can be really dangerous.

    Yes to what everyone says. I tried all sorts of snake oil before I found MFP, and the guidelines here (and my Fitbit, TBH) make it easy. Eat less, move more, and use MFP and a food scale to track the eats. It's easy and it's free and it works, no snake oil required.
