Weight loss pills?

Who are you? NO ONE. you're not better than anyone else so stop judging, thats not for you to do and I never asked for your opinion and I dont know what you're smoking regarding your poo comments but you're insane. The sweet girl who asked about this said NO negative or judgemental comments so go post your own thread.

I am not insane. I am a daughter of a cancer survivor who taught me very well to eat healthy whole foods. I'm the daughter of a Dad who taught me to grow my own veggies (he's about to retire and start a new career as a personal trainer. I've been with the same guy for 17+ years, married for 11. I have an MBA and a successful career. I own 3 (yes 3) houses and run a side business renting out one of the homes to weekly vacation renters. I volunteer in my community to teach children at a local farm about nature, science, and growing their own food.

This is who I am.

I give back. I love. I am a good strong person. Now, I don't know who you are from a stranger on the street. What I do know is you know NOTHING ABOUT ME.

And based on your answer I'm pretty sure you are shallow.

Calling a good person in their community, a good daughter, a good wife, and a hard worker insane. How dare you.

So what your are saying it that I'm an utter moron that I can't loose any weight the natural way? Thanks, I really appreciate that. What's insulting is that you come off thinking that everyone is the same and can loose weight with just exercise and diet. Newsflash! That isn't always the case. You think I didn't try hard enough to loose weight before taking Alli? I tried for 3 friggin years, ate nothing but vegetables and grilled lean meat, and nothing happened. Why? Because I happen to lack some enzymes that help in processing lipids and therefore no weight loss for me. These pills have been helping me tremendously is the last 4 months. Please don't assume to know anything about why I or anyone else for that matter choose to take pills and insult us just because you have the fortune of loosing weight the natural way.

First, I didn't say you were a moron who can't lose weight the "natural" way. I said it's ridiculous to come on here and ask about diet pills when this website is about living a healthy lifestyle, not abusing your body or buying into fads. I also didn't say I think everyone is the same, but if you prefer to be defensive instead of take in the wealth of information on this site, go ahead. You're only hurting yourself.

If you happen to "lack some enzymes" GO TO A DOCTOR. Don't come here because no one can help you with that and no one can tell you what diet pill they think your doctor will put you on, that's absurd.

You just sound like you're making excuses. Maybe try logging for a prolonged period of time to see if you truly are eating what you say you are.

Please stop being ridiculous. I've been to doctors, you think this wasn't my first course of action? I'm not stupid to just buy into a fad or anything that is out there. I log in nearly every day and record what I eat, and the only time I've seen success is when being on a healthy diet with this pill. My problem with you is that you are lumping us all in. And yes, you really are. You are essentially calling us stupid for being incapable of loosing weight...like there is only one true path to it.

I agree that there are some people who are looking for just a quick fix, but some of us, really need the extra help. I'm all for healthy lifestyle and holistic approach to better oneself, but like I said it doesn't always work. So just stop

If you've been to the doctor then why are you here? What advice will someone here give you that's any more beneficial than what your doctor said?

You sound full of it. No one is going to let you make excuses here. If your doctor is fine with you taking "this diet pill" then why do you need advice on what diet pill to take?

I never said I needed advice. I was responding to a question someone asked about personal experience with diet pills. I'm not making excuses, you know nothing about my medical history, so stop saying that I make excuses. Like I said, I'm just sharing my personal experience.

And what, just because something is working for me for the first time, I'm not allowed on the message boards or to comment? Seriously, get off your high horse.

I enjoy my high horse. I like the wind in my hair and stepping on the little people with iron hooves.

And no, you really shouldn't be allowed to discuss diet pills here. It's pointless. No one here will condone it and if you "need" them due to medical reasons then no one here can help you with that, either.

I'm the daughter of a Dad who taught me to grow my own veggies (he's about to retire and start a new career as a personal trainer. I've been with the same guy for 17+ years, married for 11.

It's okay. You're a wonderful person. These people are probably just going through withdrawals because they haven't had their magic weight loss pills today so now they're angry and lashing out at the world.

Darn straight I'm awesome. Anyone in my shoes--watching their Mom fight breast cancer for TWO YEARS is bound to be awesome. Not only awesome, but understanding how important it is to give back in their communities. I think I know a thing or two about eating well and taking care of myself.

I use slimquick. Mainly because it acts more as a water pill. Reduces my water retention, equalizes my hormones, gives me more energy....etc. I love it!!

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.

Way to be negative. I've tried for 3 yrs to loose weight doing this and barely lost 20lbs for that time. Some people need a little extra help that is not as drastic as surgery.

Do you have a calorie deficit? Is it large enough for weight loss? Do you exercise? Do you exercise correctly? If the answer to these questions is yes then there is no-one on the planet who would have only lost 20lbs in 3 years. I'd review what you're doing :flowerforyou:

No calorie deficit, yes to working out, frequently and correctly. Turned out to be a "medical" problem. Treatment barely worked, so when my doctor suggested I try Alli, and it did help, I'm really kind of happy about my progress so far.

Thanks for the suggestions.

You do realize part of weight loss is a calorie deficit, so if you have no deficit you have no weight loss..right? A pill won't help that.

Calorie deficit to the point of starving yourself...its ok it logic escapes you

About 6 years ago some Quack Dr. gave me an anti-seizure prescription because patients on it lost weight. :grumble: Back then I never used my brains when it came to weight loss. I only wanted a quick fix. I have been on phentermine and thought I was going to die of exhaustion because I could not sleep (how is that stuff still legal?) and many other things. Diet and exercise works, period. Slow and healthy works.

My favorite pill that I like that I have used with DIET and EXERCISE is Nutrex Research LIPO 6 Black, Hers, Black-Caps. Suppressed my hunger and gave me the energy I needed to work out in the mornings.

Drinking at least four cups of green tea per day has been shown to increase fat oxidation. Plus there are loads of other benefits. Just don't add too much sugar (I use one packet of truvia to sweeten) and a flavored green tea will work if you don't like the taste. Just make sure it actually has "green tea" in the ingredients, because herbal "tea" does not have the same benefits as it it does not have any tea leaves in it.

I went to the national slimming clinic about 10years ago, I was taking phentermine and dylethelpropion (dont know how to spell it), it worked really well and got down to a satifactory weight which I managed to maintain for 7 years(was only on them about 9months). I even managed to losemore than a stone while off them! went from 9.6 stone on them to 8.1 stone with just hard work and eating right. They worked but you have to be really strict with yourself. Recently my friend was on them through nsc and lost a ton of weight but when she came off them she didnt continue potion control, healthy options or exercise and put it all and more back on! be carefull! hope this helps.

Hi there - no beef from me, I promise, I was just catching up on the thread and this comment really confused me, could you explain what you are talking about with this last 'starving yourself' comment? I honestly don't understand what that comment is supposed to be referring to.

Hi, I think I see what confused people. What I mean to write was "no calorie deficit to the point of starvation" meaning I am eating the recommended calories for weight loss without starving myself. I might have been typing too fast or distracted and did not check before submitting. Thanks to bring this to my attention

Alli works good???

Any pill that requires me to carry around an extra pair of pants due to anal leakage is NOT good for your body.

Alli works good, but is not magical. People have to make a compromise and reduce fat consumption. If its combined with greasy food like hamburgers and fries, yes, it's going to be uncomfortable and disgusting. But instructions are pretty clear ;-).

Anyway, it's just a little help, absolutely useless if changes in life style are not involved.

I'm not condoning any pill use, but my girlfriend did the japanese diet pill and she lost about 30 pounds....BUT stay by a toilet because it makes you poop like crazy....not diarrhea, jsut poop in general

From the site I posted above:

Website Bulls*it (WSBS). You may get:

gas with oily spotting,
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control

No Bulls*it Translation. The following things will happen to you:

You will spray oil when you fart
You will have diarrhoea
You will be s*itting constantly and you will lose control of your bowels to the point where you **** your pants

WSBS: "The excess fat that passes out of your body is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza."

No BS: Oh dear god. Pizza is one of my favorite foods and these evil ****s have done their best to turn me off it for life. It will be very hard to look at a pizza again without wondering if someone on this drug has taken a s*it on it.

WSBS: "Eating a low-fat diet lowers the chance of these bowel changes." (my emphasis)

No BS: Even if you do cut back on fat, you're still going to s*it oil.

WSBS: "...pick a day to begin taking alli, such as a weekend day so you can stay close to home if you experience a treatment effect."

No BS: Do not go out in public after taking this drug. You are going to s*it yourself. Stay close to a toilet.

WSBS: "If you're getting ready to travel or attend a social event, hold off on starting with alli until the event is over."

No BS: Don't say you weren't warned. You are seriously going to s*it yourself.

WSBS: "You may not usually get gassy, but it's a possibility when you take alli. The bathroom is really the best place to go when that happens."

No BS: You're old life is over. Forget what you think you know about your body. You are going to fart uncontrollably. And there will be follow-through. This is not going to be something you want to share.

And my absolute favorite (which is to say, the part of the website that horrifies me most):

WSBS: "You may feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom. Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it's probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work."
