Weight loss pills?

Just out of curiosity, PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS THIS IS JUST A QUESTION !!!! What has worked and what hasn't for you guys? and if you never tried it which one would you choose if you could?

Pills simply don't work. Lots of things that might help temporarily but only changing patterns works longer term. Might as well binge and purge as trying some type of diet pill.

Alli works good !!

I wouldn't use any of that stuff! It is filled with so many extra toxins that you are only ripping your insides apart. I have been using Herbalife for 5 months now and I love my lifestyle. I am down 26 pounds and 18 1/2 inches. I have gone from a size 22 to 14/16. I have tons of energy, I don't get sick and most of all I can keep up with my kids! This is the best I have felt in years. It is all natural and made up of only food! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :happy:

I wouldn't use anything. I have in the past and nothing worked. I'm sorry to say it but there's absolutely no miracle pill out there that will make you lose weight. Some may curb your apatite a little but then, once you stop taking it, it is no longer suppressed. Do yourself a favor and save your money. Eat more protein and it will help keep you satisfied longer.

Why would you come here to ask for advice on weight loss pills? This isn't a site for gimmick diet programs or pills that are the equivalent to legal speed or caopectate.

Eat healthy, work out, drink water, lose weight. It's surprisingly affective to not destroy your body.

Usually they're not recommended unless a person is over weight and that in itself poses more health problems then the pill. Not sure which ones work but my sister had one and it definitely worked. She dropped about 40 pounds chucking pure heart attack into her stomach every day. She took the pills several times, gaining all the weight and more back immediately each time she's taken them (she's never been as large as she is now). Some of them have been on the news and tested and proven not to work, but many of those people aren't eating the same things and aren't taking them properly (you need to drink a LOT of water since a lot of them contain certain kinds of fiber that is suppose to help you loose weight). If you look at this link:

Many of those ingredients are in diet pills. If you actually do some research you'll see that while many of them come from 'natural' things, they're rather unhealthy (just think about it, there's a reason why caffeine pills are prescription).

There's many 'detox' shakes you can get into as well...once again relying on some specific kind of fiber I can't remember which. Basically, some models just crap themselves skinny. Attractive.

Anyway, that's about all I know about it, the effectiveness depends on how easily you can crap stuff out, and you already look like a model, no need for pills

THIS! And I have not had a single embarrassing incident (yes, this is possible!)

I took Hydroxycut (original formula, before the controversy of people dying) and I felt like it worked but I was also fairly close to starving myself and felt lightheaded and jittery all the time. When the news hit of someone dying I connected that with my strange/uncomfortable feelings and stopped taking it (although to be fair, me half-starving myself probably didn't help the 'uncomfortable' feelings very much). Now that I'm older and wiser and have found MFP and the relative ease of calorie-counting and exercising, I really wouldn't try anything like that again.

All diet pills are to be used with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

i took phentermine! it worked awesome! it helped my metabolism, it gave me energy to workout and was a great appetite suppresant! Warning: this pill can become addictive as it makes you feel great....it is to only be used for short-term. i only used it for about 8 weeks as i was aware it could become addictive.........But it gave me the boost to start my weight-loss and i was able to finish losing all on my own.

i then became pregnant and ten months later, here i am taking it again for that initial boost and so far i'm down 8 pounds in 5 weeks, but its not a fix all.......but definitely a motivator

You have to be careful with that stuff because in the event that you do over eat something happens called "anal leakage" . . . its not a pleasant experience.

A combo of healthy (er) eating, strength training, and cardio have worked wonders for me! No money down, except the money spent on groceries and some workout videos.

I'd tried Hydroxycut as well, before all the reformulations. I was definitely losing weight, but the high caffeine/ephedra/CRACK in it started to have a reversed reaction on me; I'd take two of the pills as recommended, and I'd pass out shortly after! Soda started to do the same thing to me, so I stopped. I couldn't face the reality of caffeine not working for me anymore. :P

Wait a minute.......there are pills out there that make you lose weight??? Why have I been wasting my time eating clean and excercising?

I have some friends that take the Goddess Fast Pack. THey say is works as good as some prescription. They say when they take it, it completely takes their hunger away and sometime they forget to eat for days. I tell them thats not healthy because its putting them in starvation mode and they will just end up putting it all back on. When I looked at what was in it, it was a bunch of stuff that increases the heart rate which isn't safe. I take the One A Day Weight Smart. It doesn't make me jittery, doesn't take my hunger away. It does minimize my cravings though. Its more multivitamin then it is diet pill.
