theres another recall now of these pills

and laura congrats on the weight lost so far :flowerforyou:

better safe then sorry never know :flowerforyou:

laura please go to the dr asap the just recalled hydroxycut it causes liver damage and reported death its on yahoo and news this morning

Why does she need to go to the Dr now? She took them when she was 20. I think she'd know by now if she had jaundice and the other symptoms.

Anyway, unfortunately weightloss should be done the old fashioned way. I would LOVE for a quick fix but they don't work. :grumble:

never too late to check with your doctor. You could have liver damage and not even know, right?

Hiya Helen :happy:

Don't let the tone of the unwelcome put you off from staying. This is a really helpful site and the advice is excellent.

Many of us who have failed at diets in the past have tried quick fixes, but they don't work and some of the pills are really risky.

You know what to do, it's not believing you can do it that's the problem. That's where I was until very recently. There are some really excellent books which can help you get in the right frame of mind. Overcoming weight problems and the Beck diet solution (both on Amazon) are examples. Also, do use the tools on the site. By having a set target to aim for that isn't unrealistically low, you are more likely to succeed.

Sorry Helen, I missed the name of your pill. There are so many pills out there that do not fall under the remit of the FDA and contain harmful substances.

Alli is not an quick fix. It contains Orlistat which is a medicine which has been prescribed by docors in the UK for years and has been proven safe and effective in clinical trials.

Helen ,the problem, as I understand it, is that many people don't like the side effects, not because they are dangerous but because they are unpleasant.

I hope it works for you If it doesn't, there are plenty of other ways that will

I am replying as a Lorro, as I'm sure Helen knows :bigsmile: .

Orlistat clinical trials review:

I was prescribed it by my Dr. a few years ago, but didn't like taking it and stopped after a week.

Ha!

OMG I just read the little notice on the bottom of the page which OUR DAVE kindly c/p

I am nearly 40 and am a pretty good judge of what I should take in yay or nay, my doctor is qualified and is supporting me in my decision. I am here to make friends and use the tools, seems Dave (and probably a few others) and I have gotten on the wrong foot purely cos of a decision I made for which I am definitely not going to apologise for. If the pills do not work for me it is my responsibility okay?

no no, you're not getting off on the wrong foot. We're just sharing our opinions and experiences with you. If you WANT to use a pill that's your choice, fully, we're just saying that in our opinion and experience it 1) doesn't work 2) isn't sustainable 3) is harmful and/or 4)is a waste of money.

Nobody saying you need to apologize or even take ANY of our advice. That said, there are others here that use Alli. There are also others here that use other pills. To find them try a search of the message boards. I saw some posts about alli users not too long ago.

good luck:flowerforyou:

the bottom line is really pretty simple

if these quick fix or jump start fads worked, then there would be no need for discussion

everyone would be doing it and there would be no need for these kind of websites

the one method that is never disputed is the way most people either do from the start or eventually do after they get tired of wasting their time and money

that one method is exercise and sensible food choices

if you want to waste your money...that is your choice

just because a Dr. is supporting your decision, is not good enough for me. Doctors are not infallible

these types of quick fix / jump start gimmicks come along every day and will always be coming

eventually you will have to develop a lifestyle that is different than the one that got you here

or you can continue to look for shortcuts and stay fat and unhealthy

either way.....do your thing and keep learning

my advice is to spend that money you are paying for the Doc and the pills on good food

have fun
keep a sense of humor

Welcome! The choice to take pills or not is totally yours and I will wish you luck either way. Glad to have you here, with us.
