Anyone taking diet pills?

None for me. But I am taking some Ginkoba.

Tried them once... will never take them again.

They are not healthy for the average person. They can damage your organs. Most are full of fillers, caffeine and man made chemicals.

Terrible things to take in my opinion.

No, diet pills scare me too much. As hard as it is to be patient I won't risk my health. I do however take some supplements. I take One a Day Active Metabolism (when I remember) and I also take Fish oil and CLA supplements. The fish oil because I don't eat veyr much fish so my body definitely needs it and the CLA because I've read that it can (along with diet and exercise not as a magic pill) help burn fat (especially in the stomach area) and build lean muscle.

i agree Julie! id rather be fat than dead! ive tried codliver oil before Stacy but the taste was too yukky i stopped it should of continued tho.....

Did you take it in a pill form? The ones I got are orange scented so they don't smell or taste fishy at all. I couldn't handle that!

thanks girls, guess ill stick to my normal fitness routine, and diet and see how it goes....i was a bit too eager in loosing weight quite soon! guess i need to be patient thanks again xx

Best idea everrr.

I am personally not a fan of diet pills. As someone else said, I'd rather stick to doing it naturally and feel proud of the results than to be afraid of having it all come back once I stop taking them. Plus, I get migraine headaches, and there are a lot of my triggers in them- ie too much caffeine. Try spicing up your workout by trying something new---zumba, crossfit, boxing, etc...that way you won't get tired of the same routine. Also, give yourself a goal outside of your weight loss--Like something you have always wanted to do or just haven't done before. I signed up for my first 5k and am doing the couch to 5k. Just having that goal and the date for the race has kept me motivated.

I am not taking any now. I have tried the alli pills before. A friend of mine went on alli and went from a size 13 to a size 0 and it seemed like she did it in such a quick period of time i thought that it would be worth a shot. I was on them for two weeks and lost 6 lbs and never had any problems. But i decided that you can't be on pills forever and if i was going to do this then i wanted to it the right way and without any magic pills. A good thing about alli is that you really do have to watch what you eat and because there are side effects that can be pretty awful most of the time you are so afraid of the side effects that you are really careful with what you eat. But I know that I can do this on my own and that is what I am going to do. It might take longer and I know there will be ups and downs and frustrations but in the end I think it will be more worth it. You have to figure out what is best for you and what is going to make you happy.

I know I might get mulled for admitting this but I recently started taking Hydroxycut CLA. I take 2 caps every morning with my multivitamin. I am not saying everyone should or even that I should. I reached a plataue and tried everything from drinking more water, changing exercise patterns, etc etc etc. So I figured I would try these for 30 days and see what happened. Normally, I never take anything but my multivitamin and maybe some fish oil. I think to each thier own.

P.S= so far I haven't seen any change in taking the pills besides a little more energy.

I take Slimquick sometimes, but I only take them for the caffiene boost. They aren't filled with all that wierd stuff that gives ppl heart attacks n stuff. I would never take anything heavy like that!

yes it was a transparent pill and instead of swollowing i chewed it!! :sad: such a bad idea!!!!!!!!

Oh yikes!! lol I would have stopped taking them too!

I used to, i bought some off ebay. they never helped me at all. Thats why i came here for weightloss help. haha (:

I tried diet pills and lost about 45 pounds. The problem was after I stopped taking them.....you guessed it all the weight came back on. Trying it the old fashion way by eating cleaner and holding myselft accountable. Luckily I started before I gained all 45 pounds back.
