people who lost a lot of weight using diet pills
It appears that this is a touchy subject on mfp. I personally don't use diet pills and I am neutral to the idea. I was wondering why people on mfp don't like the idea.

If you were a car what would you be and why?
I think I would be a 2007 Fusion. The reason is because it is very versatile. You can't really judge the car by it's cover. It's sporty, it's a luxury when you want it to be. It can be casual. It's very simple but sweet. I love how it looks small on the outside but there is a lot of room on the inside. What does this have…

My goal is to exercise daily by burning cals and staying within 1200-1300 cals a day. It used to take 30 mins for me to burn…
