Seriously?!

Go big or go home, do meth.

I thought about adding diet pills for about 3 seconds..and changed my mind. I have a heart murmur that could get aggravated with that much caffiene in those pills. I am serious..I have an expresson and I am bouncing off the walls being super annoying.

I try not to step on the scale near that week. My body does all sorts of funny stuff.

let's see that diary....

This!

If you've just come off of BC, give your self some time off from weigh-ins. The fluctuation in hormones can do crazy things to your body. Let your body readjust. It can also effect your mood - I'm not saying your feelings aren't legitimate, 'cuz I know damn well they are, but coming off the pill can make you feel worse about yourself than you would have otherwise felt.

Also, and I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way ('cuz after all I'm a stranger on the internet), but I noticed in your profile that you've had issues with addiction in the past. Diet pills can sometimes be dangerous - you use them to try and control some aspect of your life, and then you end up in the mindset that you "have" to take them because they're the only thing that works. You've already proven you don't need to rely on foreign substances to be yourself and kick *kitten* at life by kicking your addiction - you don't need more pills to help you lose weight!

You look great in your pictures. Don't let a number on a scale going up (or not going down fast enough) make you feel bad about yourself! I bet you're losing inches and not even realizing it.

Rock on lady!

Looking at OP's profile, I think this joke was kind of in poor taste. :flowerforyou:

Remember, as you increase exercise, you will gain weight... but it is muscle weight- not fat.

No its not muscle weight, it's water

Good luck girl! I know this is a hard journey, but..jusy stay focused and grounded and things will fall into place. You have come along way I'm sure, Keep your head UP. Exercise exercise and more...and drink the heck out of some water. IT will come off. Eventually.

You need to quit looking at numbers and think about HEALTH. Keep counting your calories, exercise, drink water and quit being so hard on yourself. Sometimes our bodies change before the scale does.

First of all, looking at your picture, it does not look like you need to lose a tremendous amount of weight, so that is one reason it is going slow. Second you say you just got off the pill another reason for fluid retention and change in your metabolism, it could take a few weeks for your body to get adjusted. And third you said you were just released from the hospital after a drug and alcohol addiction treatment and you are talking about diet pills. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!!! those are drugs and your body WILL get addicted to them. All you will gain after a short lived weight loss is a screwed up metabolism and possibly other negative side effects (which BTW do not necessarily show up until years later) Do yourself a favor if you want to enjoy years of happiness with your friend, take the healthy route. Be patient, you are young, you are pretty. Built a lifetime plan you can stick with, instead of a scheme for instant gratification.

Thanks to all the people who tried to help rather than reprimand... I will try drinking more water, weighing myself less, taking measurements... this experience is fairly new to me. I appreciate all your support.

To all the people trying to reprimand me for sharing how I feel, go away. You aren't doing anyone any favors. This website is here for support not bullying. I pity you.

I think people were just bothered by the fact that after 5 weeks of healthy eating and it not going exactly as you had planned you were ready to just jump back to diet pills. There are people on here who have been here for a year or so and are still working off their weight. It's not an over night kind of thing, it takes a lot of time and a lot of hard work, especially for someone like yourself who doesn't even appear to need to lose that much weight, it's going to be harder.

DON't DO IT!! It's not worth it!! Anything worth something isn't easy to achieve!! Don't hurt your body in such a way!! Weight loss isn't a fad or a diet, it's a lifestyle change and it's not gonna happen overnight. I've working my *kitten* off for months and months and effin months to lose 32 lbs. Don't do it, just dont

Even if a diet pill works, you will gain it back using that method, it is a temporary solution. Are you going to stay on them permanently? If you want to actually lose weight and be healthy. Learn to eat healthy, realize it is not overnight magic and takes time, and exercise. Health, weight management, and fitness are a life time commitment.
