Diet pills

Pretty much no one is going to encourage you to take diet pills. Make your diary public so people can see what you're doing and tell you what you can change. Go from there.

Eat right. Move more.
It's the only way

they are awful...dont take them unless u want to be a moody psychotic mess..at least thats my expereience...as well as my girlfreinds...I can tell they are on a diet pill cycle when start acting "weird".

I have found success in using the supplement CLA...

I used to take diet pills. thermogenics.... and that was idk last august.... PLEASE do not resort to that. the more you do it on your own the more likely it is to stick. i gained my weigh back a few weeks after i stopped the pills. to me, a short term solution is NOT worth it whatsoever. They made me crabby and irritable, and plus they aren't even FDA approved so who knows what nasty side effects they may cause later in life...

Don't give up. You gotta know weight loss is a slow process.
Maybe try measuring yourself if you don't already.

you can add me, we can talk and i can try to motivate you best of luck!

Most diet pills are just caffeine. They make you feel sick so you don't want to eat. I know they claim all sorts of magical compounds, but don't be fooled. The FDA comes down hard on these companies every few years to put them in their place so they stop promising magical results that frankly, they can't deliver. Every person you see on that diet pill add had a personal trainer.

If you're already losing, that's an amazing victory just to start with! Maybe you're not losing the weight in the places you want first. Me, I always have to wait forever for my huge hideous arms to go down. Meanwhile, my WRISTS and ANKLES and NECK start to look slenderer. (Greeeeeat. Cause I care so much about my WRIST slimness. Thanks, body.)

Weight loss takes time. If the pounds are coming off, then they're coming off. You are succeeding. You have to have patience, which is the hardest part of any lifestyle change. The difference is not going to be immediately apparent--but keep up the good work, and you'll see a difference.

There is no physical way that you can lose (for example, I don't know how much you've lost) 30 lbs and look exactly the same as you did before. You might not see it so much--but I bet others do. Keep at it.

For me, people don't notice I had lost weight till I was about 40 lbs down. That's when I dropped a pants size. I work out five times a week.

So give yourself time. Be patient. Losing weight is one of the hardest things you can do in life. Give yourself credit, and be patient. Your feet are on the path. You will reach your destination.

I second that, by the way, and there are clinical studies that back up this supplement as something that aids in weight loss, if you can afford it. It's not a "diet pill." It has no stimulants or anything like that.

I must be the only person who didn't go crazy, barf or waste my money. I took Oxy Elite Pro, saw great results, felt normal, kept it off.... I never took the full dose, just the "beginner" dose.

Just beware of what you take. I swear what I took triggered or caused me to get Bell's Palsy. It was so scary. I thought I'd never get my smile back.

I'm confused. How is the scale going down not progress?

Think for a moment about how long it took you to pack on the pounds you're trying to get rid of. Maybe since childhood? These things will not change overnight and you need to get your head straight and accept that it's going to take a lot of discipline and time to see change.

Knowledge, persistence and willpower will lead you to success.

Nothing wrong with a little boost. Might help with the initial 10 pounds or so, giving you continued motivation. Just understand that you can't take these for life. I cannot recommend CLA enough, I see great results with myself and all of my friends whom I recommended it to.

This is what I was on when I got Bell's palsy.

avriel before you resort to diet pills (remember you have been there/done that and it did NOT work in the long run) may i make an alternate suggestion? *some* of us simply do not lose weight on the traditional low fat/calorie restriction type of eating no matter how hard we try. for *some* (NOT everyone) the path to success has to do w/ changing not only how much one eats but what one eats- in other words changing the macros around to a higher protein and fats and a lower carb style of eating.
i implore you to research and try that first before succumbing to the temptation of diet pills. just try it for a month or so- what have you got to lose? commit to that and perhaps you will see the scale move down and clothes getting loose...wouldn't it be lovely to find a way to accomplish your weight loss goals from inside you rater than replying on a crutch that is just going to stab you in the back in the long run? you cannot take diet pills forever but you can change your style of eating forever, be healthy, and keep the weight off. what do you think~ you want to try this instead of the pills? it could be the answer for you....

I know it can be frustrating. Try switching up your exercise routine. For me running is the most difficulty activity for me but I get a really good workout doing it.

at least your numbers move! i've been here almost a month and i've lost only lost 6.5 lbs....4 of which were in the first week and a 1/2. i've lost 1 lb in the last 2 weeks...

Lilac, 6.5 in less than a month! Look at the bigger picture; both you and original poster are losing. You should feel proud of that. If my standards were that strict my spirit would be shot.
