    Set mfp up to lose 2 pounds a week and follow the plan....no pills needed and, if you're diligent, you'll meet your goal.

    Just a warning... people will bash anyone who even mention diet pills on this site... this site is full of a bunch of a-holes that think it's their way or the highway. Sorry in advance for all the people who are going to make you feel like crap :/

    EDIT: No, I haven't came across any that have worked. Eating less and exercising more is definitely key! There isn't going to be a magic pill that will get you results like a bit of hard work will ;)

    Diet pills can't make a calorie deficit, save your money and go on a high healthy fat high protein and minimal carb diet with one high carb day a week about a month before your wedding. For now, strenuous exercise and some willpower with a diet that you can stick to, you've plenty of time until your wedding :)

    Good luck :D

    Not many people here will recommend that you take diet pills. It's a short term solution for a bigger problem. First off, you might want to make your diary public so that people can offer you advice for maximizing your diet. If you are truly doing what you should be doing to lose weight and not seeing results, then perhaps a trip to the doctor is in order.

    You know what looks much better than a skinny bride? A healthy one.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR RISK YOUR HEALTH WITH DIET PILLS!

    Eat nutritious, well-balanced meals and snacks in sensible portions.
    Indulge cravings sensibly.
    Exercise.
    Drink water.
    Be patient.

    have to agree- some people really dont know about certain topics, yet people feel the need to bash them :( A gentle bit of advice would be nice

    The only diet pill that really works is the amphetamine Phentermine. It is RX only though so good luck finding a dr to prescribe it. It's similar to legal cocaine. And if you've ever tried the illegal stuff, you know why it works so well :tongue:

    Edit: I've also heard that Alli works, but there is a good chance you will poop your pants.

    What is the issue you have with your metabolism? Have you sought medical advice for it? If not, I'd suggest that's the place where you should start.

    Instead of diet pills try adding some vitamins to your daily regimen for energy. either a good multi-vitamin or a vitamin-b supplement can help give you an energy boost and keep you more motivated during the day. i would also set my weekly weight loss goal to 2lbs a week and follow the calorie regimen that mfp gives you.

    I've taken them , they worked for me.

    I kept the weight off because I changed my eating habits and lead a healthier more active lifestyle.

    It was under a Dr's supervision and I had quite a bit more weight than 15 - 20 pounds to loose.

    Most Dr's won't prescribe them if you don't have a large amount of weight to lose due to the risks associated with them.
