I was at a friends daughter 3 yr old birthday party yesterday..... She has a friend that came that I have met several times in the past but I havent seen in forever. Well if it wasnt for her daughter I wouldnt have recongized her. She looked horrible. Well a little later I am sitting inside next to her and my friend came up and was like WOW kim you look great so from there we got on the subject of weight loss. Well the chick chimes in and says "with these pills I am on I have lost 50lbs in 2 months... Its amazing how fast they work, I will give you the place where I got them and your weight loss will come off faster" then she is like I go days without eating because these pills make me full all the time.

So I smile and said I am glad that you feel great about yourself but I will love to see the end result when you no longer take these "magic pills" Because I eat anywhere from 4-6 times a day, I work out, and I know I look younger and healthier.

Well, she soon after left and I ask my friend what kind of pills she's on because I saw crackheads look to be in better shape? she was like something the doctor is giving her. She looked horrible, seriously ate up enough that I didnt recongize her. She had agaed so much since the last time I saw her.

Well I just needed to vent about it and it made me really happy with this life choice I made. I use to be a big fan of the yo-yo diets and diet pills, Although they worked they were not healthy and I ALWAYS gained the weight back and then some.....

    Wow!! I am definitely not a fan of any kind of diet pills. I always wished that there was some sort of magic pill that I could take. But working out and eating better feels so much better than starving myself and depriving me of the food that I want and need.

    I also tried different types of diet pills for many years & had fallen victim to it but as soon as I stopped the pill, the weight just keeps coming back and more. My weight keeps on & off for many years because of that but now that I chose to do it the natural and safest way, I'm happy to say that I finally made it!

    Diet pills are a scam. Short term results that are actually damaging your body. You lose quickly then gain back so you decide to use them again and again until your body is all out of whack. You are making the right choices here with MFP. This is a lifestyle, not a quick fix...

    Reminds me of this ad I'm hearing all over the radio now. 'Lose 2lb per day' with their little magic pill. Imagine all the loose skin and flabby parts you'd have, even if it did work! Oh and you're also stuck eating 2 triskets and a slice of cheese for your daily calories.

    No thank you. I want to be able to eat when I'm fit!

    I took diet pills from doctor back 25 years ago, oh, I suffered so much health problems during and after taking that diet pills. My heart was beating very fast, and fainted on the street. I went to emergency room and suffered all kind of problem that doctors did not know what was going on to my body. After went through a lot of test and found out it was Thyroid problem. Later on, I watched the news that the doctor that gave me the diet pills who got arrested because giving illegal diet pills to his patients. I am so glad that we know how to do long run diet by eating good food and doing exercising. Thank you myfinesspal.
