I have been taking these pills for about 3 weeks now...with the exception of the weekends. I "heard" they were recalled...but cant find the reason why. I have googled to get some info and nada... I feel like if I dont take these...I can not do it alone.

    Yes you can do it alone. It may be more difficult and take longer, but you can do it without pills.

    I used to use redline by vpx in college when I wanted to stay up for 3 days in a row. After It wore off, I would eat a box of dominos then go into a food coma. lol so in short, no I wouldn't take them for weight loss. I would take them if I needed to stay awake for a really long time maybe.

    What are your goals? Purely weight loss? Are you tracking your food?

    I've gotten a slight benefit from appetite suppressing supplements before, but that's on top of a good diet.
    They won't do the work for you, and in all honesty, you're better off spending the money on better food.

    How much would you pay me? I suppose I'd do it for $750/week.

    Amen to that.
    I'm struggling like you are ... been trying everything with no results ...
    but I don't want a quick fix. If I get thin, I'm staying there!

    If you can't do it alone, what do you plan to do once you've lost all the weight? Take these pills forever?

    Nope. Pills can mess with your heart and other organs...not worth the health risks!

    No pills work, for one thing. And secondly, nobody needs to use a pill to lose 4 pounds.

    I did not take any crazy pills or use any fad diets. I used to weigh almost 300 pounds.
    Now?

    Bottom line?

    Yes, you can do this on your own.

    Eat well, exercise, drink water, and be patient.

    ^^^^This (congrats BTW)

    The pills are a crutch and, most likely, not a terribly effective & potentially dangerous one at that.

    I was wondering about diet pills too - but I think everyone hear says it well.
    You can accomplish it - set your goals, work hard on your goals, and enjoy your success when you get there.

    Avoid the pharmaceutical answer - make your success your own!

    I am just starting out - we can both make this work : )

    You're trying to lose 4 pounds. You can do that without pills.

    I wouldn't take pills. It might be longer doing it the harder way, ie through exercise and better diet, but you have a much better chance of keeping the weight off. I see it as a lifestyle change rather than a diet.

    don't take them. I did phentermine for a 9months! yeah i lost the weight but it lead to panic attacks not worth it. plus the weight comes on quick. now i'm really learning how to eat and get this lifestyle change done!

    I have used those stacker pills before. They just made my heart race like I had 10 cups of coffee. You can do it without them, you just have to WANT it bad enough!

    A sane person!? Finally. She gets its. You know the answer to the pill question already. No need to answer it. One thing works and that is working hard, end the gluttony, and do it consistently. The process isn't fun. What is fun is being able to post a gorgeous pic like below after you've realized that you must pay a price to get back to where you want. Then paying that price, and achieving your goal. Best of luck.

    I tried diet pills over 10 years ago. On the second day, I was laying in bed and my heart was racing. It freaked me OUT!! I normally have super low blood pressure and HR, so it scared me feeling my heart rushing like that. I have never taken another diet pill ad I never will!!

    Since then I have had 2 more kids and gained 60lbs per baby, and I have lost the weight each time without pills. This last time was harder because I am older, but I did not give up.

    So, try to do it without pills so you do have to rely on pills to keep you thin!!

    I seem to be a bit late in posting this but I lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks with Fastin... I'm a young mother to a 6 month old running around all day in his walker and a husband who doesn't really help so I use them for energy so that I can GO GO GO all the time. They help with energy and appetite suppressing. (For some reason my son HATES when I eat.) I LOVE THEM! I'm a supporter of these but if you're not comfortable in the LEAST with taking them, I wouldn't.

    How is it going after three weeks? Have you lost much weight? How do they make you feel? You are already taking them so really you need to decide if you like what they are doing to you...I have been going back in forth on whether or not I should look into something like this. I know I need to watch my calories but I am always hungry. I want to find something that will curb my appetite untill my stomach shrinks!

Found out though that it's almost 40% caffine & when i went to.the gnc store for something i asked one of the guys about it ,.and his face got a shocked expression and he was like hunny are you trying to make your heart explode? and he's the one who told me about mfp! So basically get off of them!!
