Would you take pills to lose weight?

I have and do take over-the-counter weight loss pills from time to time. My doctor has told me that this is not a great idea though because they are designed to boost your metabolism and when you stop taking them, your metabolism slows right back down. I am currently taking Welbutrin for depression, and it seems to also help with my emotional eating because I tend to snack more when I feel depressed. See the connection? The medicine helps me feel less depressed, so I mentally feel better and I eat less as a result, which in turn helps boost my self-esteem when I loose a pound or two.
I am also taking an Acai Berry weight loss pill that claims to be all natural. I just started this one though, so I will have to wait and see if it helps or not.
To be honest, I find that since they took Ephedra off the market due to health concerns, no weight loss pill works as they used to.
My best advice to you is to start with making yourself at the very least walk each day. You don't have to go outside or to a gym either, you can just walk around your house while you cook or clean. That is how I get myself motivated to want to do more about my weight. I simply start with cleaning my house and as I do it, I force myself to carry less and make more trips from one room to another, just for the exercise. Then, I find myself wanting to do more and more. That first step is the hardest.

You should seek for a doctor's advise first before taking. So you will know if it can do good or not to you. Lose weight pills have side effects so be careful about it.
The healthy way to lose weight is to exercise and putting discipline on ones self. Especially the craving for food.
Not eating dinner will also help. Less rice of course will surely help. But if you really came from a big family, it all goes with genes no matter what you do.

I suggest you go to the hospital, doctor's guidance, to lose weight, Chijianfeiyao, no good.

I never try those weight control pills, although my mom encouraged me to try some. I don't really have weight issue my own, but I just hate that fat meat on my side, and I was so lazy to exercise on my own. Honestly, I never trust those pills, and I was afraid the side effect of them. I just want to be natural. Exercise is the best formula of all.

hi blue, I would advise you to NOT take these pills cause most of them are dangerous plus will only make your wallet slim and not you.
I have just asked for your friendship and would like to send you a pm when you accept. Not for every one to read here in mylot.

Yeah I guess... if it's safe to use why not..Sometimes i think that it's not about dieting but i think that it's how you changed your life in order for you to lose weight....

nah necessary taking diet pills...just make a habit in controlling your eating habit....its okay eat less food but its healthy..avoid eat fatty foods..be more n fresh fruits and lots veges...:)..and the best is exercise...

I was 272 lbs earlier this year and I am now 230 which doesnt sounds like a lot but its slowly coming off and I'm saving my life. I am not using a pill or a surgery. I'm doing it the old fashion way more calories out than in. I eat healthier and work out more. I made myself finally get up off my butt and work out. Now I love working out and being active. I eat more veggies and less sugar. A wonderful community for support and it has a daily log for calories/excersise is www.buddyslim.com the peopel there are so nice just jump in and read blogs then comment on them. A pill will never lose weight for you it might seem to help if you eat healthy and work out but if you dont it will not help at all. Good Luck hun! I you need any help add me and message me.

Hi there blue65packer,

Don't give up, it does take dedication and hard work to drop the pounds they are easy to put on and really hard to take off.

I have tried for the last year and a half to get the weight off, and now I have decided that I need the assistance of someone that can not only give me guidance but the the encouragement to lose.

I have joined a program that is well on it's way to working I have actually surpassed their goals for me, and have done really well sticking to the plan. Believe me its not easy anyone who knows me knows I am a big "carb/starch" eater and they are the worst! French Fries have always been a weakness.

Depending on how much you can spend on a program you could join anything from Weight watchers, Tops, Herbal Life, or get into a weight loss program like Uweight loss.

It's also easier if you can find someone to lose with you, I have a great friend who has joined up with me and were working together to lose the weight were both doing amazing and we keep each other from cheating so it works out really well.

If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to ask if I can answer it for you I will, if I can't I can always consult with my coach and possibly get you the answer....

Oh also don't believe everything you read on the internet I learned the hard way there is no easy way out when it comes to losing weight.

Good Luck!
