My name is Courtney and my boyfriend is currently deployed!! :frown: I would like to lose roughly 35-50 lbs. before he gets back, I have 7 months to do this!

If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it!

currently I am taking Hydroxycut Max [for women] & drinking GNC lean prowder shakes in the morning. I think I lost atleast 2 lbs so far.

    Hi courtney.

    Welcome to MFP.

    From a wisened and weathered MFP Vetran, I would say this. We try to be as healthy as we can on here. And my advice would be to choose a moderate weekly goal, maintain a moderate daily calorie deficit, exercise regularly, make sure you get some weight or resistance training in there, and make sure your food is balanced and healthy.
    IMHO for anyone who is medically healthy, you don't need pills or any other diet "stuff".

    best of luck to you and welcome to the site.

    You are right about the weight loss pills, but at the same time they help with metobolism [mine has always been SLOW] and controling female hormones and other stuff.

    Right now I have a 1,200 calorie/day plan. My boyfriend and his trainer basically set this up for me before he deployed.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Hello. I dont know about the fad diet pills..but I was put on adipex by my famliy dr. It works great!! I have hormone issues,so my metabolism is almost at a zero without my med. I still have to watch what I eat and exersice! But I wouldnt have come this far without it!! And I dont get the jitters and all the other side effects u get from the otc. Unless I drink a lot of caffine. Good luck with your goals. Just be careful with the otc meds!!

    Welcome!
    I have tried hydroxy cut diet pills before I really got educated about health and fitness and from personal experience, the pills do work, but only for a short period of time. Once your body gets used to the pills you will no longer experience weight loss and will end up gaining it all back plus some. The best way to go for permanent weight loss is healthy diet and exercise. It is hard work but you can do it! Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck to you!!
