Has anyone ever used this? I know that diet and exercise are best but I have been dieting and trying to exercise when I can and I am just not see anything happening. I thought I would try something to just to help me jump start some kind of results.
It gave me energy an decreased my appetite made me pee alot I didn't take them very long tho . I bought the natural weight loss an natural green tea pills from dollar tree I liked those better
I used it once, I lost 10lbs in like 2 weeks but it was all water weight. It gave me really bad headaches so I stopped taking it and gained it all back in 3 days lol.
I took them when I was younger and I got bad mood swings, and I actually didn't want to eat at all. I didn't think notice it till my husband told me so I stopped and went back to my self
@excitedforoctober how do you get them? My friend is so over weight she works out eats really healthy and can't lose weight she has no other health problems. my sis took them.and lost a lot of weight. my friend has no insurance
I took phentermine and lost about 25lbs in a month. I went to a weight loss clinic and i got those pills and a b-12 shot and i was put on the Atkins diet. I also exercised about 30-45 minutes a day and i literally lost anywhere from 5-7lbs a week.
The place I went to included it in the total price. I lost about 10lbs in a week or so, you have to keep up with them though. I stopped taking them because they would give me headaches and I gained it all back right away.
see the pill sounds good until the part where you stop taking it and gain everything back lol i hate that part. I want to find a pill that just helps suppress your hunger. I just want to get use to eating less with out being hungry and going crazy lol
See i had different results. I used them for about 3 months. I payed $120. That was for the visit, the 4 b-12 shots and with the prescription for the pills. The 4 b-12 shots are a month supply. You get the shot once a week, and they weigh you in and All that good stuff. When i stopped the pills, i still lost weight cause i kept doing the diet and exercising. The pills and shots are only an introduction to weight loss. Once you have gotten to a certain weight, the doctor will take you off the pill but keep you on the diet.
Im not trying to say that @excitedforoctober didn't continue her diet, because i don't know that. The doctor told me that i needed to continue the diet as if i was still on the pill so that i could keep losing weight. It worked for me.
@firsttimemom: One mistake overweight people make when trying to diet is restricting their calories to drastically. I'm betting she's consuming too few calories, which is hindering weight loss.
Hey @Mijita, I know you are super knowledgeable about this stuff so I have a question for you! Why does consuming too few calories hinder weight loss? This is something I just flat out dont understand!

@perly you're right, you need to continue the diet. My problem wasn't that once I got off of them I started stuffing my face lol It was that I stopped the pills before I even finished my first months supply because they made me feel really yucky so I think that most of the weight I did lose was just water weight which is why I put it back on so easily.
@excitedforoctober yeah thats what i was thinking. My mom did the diet with me and she had to get a lower dose on the pills because she was having the same effects. But once that was fixed, it started working for her too. I wonder why your doctor didn't offer a lower dose?
@perky Exactly! I chose the higher dose myself lol because I wanted faster results but they were too much for me. I am only slightly overweight so I think it was too strong for my body. I never bothered to go back and ask the the lower dose. Once I have my second baby and stop breastfeeding I will go back. Mama needs her body back!
@YNVTish ok so I have MyFitnessPal on my phone.. Haven't done anything with it yet.. I've also started doing Zumba twice a week for 1 hour each class. I'm looking into diets or meal planning to help drop the weight, but I'm not sure what direction I want to go in. I was thinking maybe doing weight watchers... IIiiiii dunno. How exactly did MyFitnessPal help you? Is that just the calorie monitoring coupled with the exercise you input that helps you track weightloss?
@perly did you go to a weight loss clinic or did you talk to your primary care doctor? I'd like to have a professional evaluate me and point me in the right direction for weightloss..
@alilboulding i went to a weight loss clinic. The first time i went i met with a doctor that evaluated me and ran some tests, then i went once a week to weigh in and to get my b-12 shot. They also offered a fat burning shot, completely up to you if you want it for $20.
