Diet Pills

[Necee419]

I have heard good things about the weight watchers point system. Someone on YT(sorry, can't remember the name) lost tons of weight on it. I think she went to the site online and for a small fee you can get the points sytem and a personalized diet program just for you. I have never tried this but it seems to be pretty popular and people feel it really works because you can still eat "normal" things just less of it. I think diet products for the most part are pretty harmful so you shouldn't resort to them unless absolutely necessary. Eventually some study comes out where a certain diet pill has caused lots of people to get sick. Just continue to exercise, eat right and monitor your calories and I think you should be fine. Best of luck to you

BTW: A co-worker of mine says she drinks a really tall, full glass of water BEFORE she eats. She says this fills you up a bit and makes you eat less. Don't know if it works but you need water anyway so it can't hurt.

My SIL lost soooo much on weight doing weight watchers, that I learned how to do the point system and did it at home. It was actually really easy to do and I lost weight too. I haven't been doing it lately, been too busy. But I haven't really gained any of it back, and if I do I am going stright back to the points.

The only diet pill that has somewhat worked for me is TrimSpa. But after a few weeks of working on my appetite my body seemed to become immune to it.

Metabolife did diddly-squat for me.

My mom is on a perscription apetite suppressent from her doctor, and she loves it. (She also has a personal trainer and a diet she follows strictly, she is trying to get her hormones and thyroid under control... so it isn't just for weightloss, I don't know if doctors would give it out very easily).

Id take diet pills in a heart beat if they didn't have such ill side affects. Most the pills out there now somewhat scare me, especially after reading such horror stories.

I know the bottom line is to eat a balanced diet, limiting the fat/calorie intake, to get up off your bum and move, etc. All that in my world is much easier said then done. I have always in my adult life gone up/down with my weight. One day I will look in the mirror (or step on the scale) and say "that's it, Im on a diet!" Then will lose the pounds. But in a year or so it slowly climbs back up to where I started.

I love to cook and I love to eat. I just need to focus on the basic rules of weight loss as most humans do and I think the weight will come off. So much easier said then done, LOL.

Weight Watchers is the way to go! I have only been on it for 1 month and have lost 14 lbs. Its easy and I haven't been hungry. I ordered the books off ebay. I really don't have time for the meetings. 2 of my coworkers are on it also. 1 lost 30 lbs and the other 100! I also drink lots of water.

After I had my daughter, I had about 10-15 pounds of baby fat that I wanted to loose. I started counting my fat gram intake. I would eat no more than 15 fat grams a day. Bennigans had healthy lunches with like around 7 fat grams.

After a month of this, I was back into my size 3 jeans.

Sounds like weight watchers is the way to go then. I am planning on going next Thursday and see what they have to say and if I think I can do it. I've tried everything else in my lifetime as far as diets go, so I have nothing to lose...but weight!

Glad to hear that you can get the Weight Watchers info from books on E-bay or their website. I've been wanting to check them out, but with working , going to the gym, and family obligations haven't had time to add WW to the list. I just need to lose 8 lbs or so, but know folks close to me who need to lose more.

Great thread!!
