I am a mother of a beautiful 13 year old daughter and handsome 10 year old son. I am divorced and recently engaged to an amazing man. We got pregnant a couple months ago. Unfortunately on Friday we found out that we would be losing twins. I put on a little weight to due the complications of the pregnancy and would really like to get it off quickly. Does anybody know a reasonably priced over the counter diet pill that will really help me get this weight off quick????

Hi-I'm an Ind. Herbalife Dist. These products are awesome, I had 3 babies in less than 5 years, by the 3rd one I weighed 227lbs, just 10 mo after my sons birth I am now down to 150lbs, less than before I had kids. If you would like a sample and some information let me know. They are probably not the cheapest thing you will find, but definitely the most effective products I have ever tried, so much so I became a dist. My ph # is ###-###-####

Hi S.! I was asked to be in my brother's wedding and started freaking out because I didn't think there was a way to lose weight in time. Then I met a girl that had gone from a size 14 to a size 8 in two months. She introduced me to AdvoCare and I have lost 25 pounds since July 29th! (I haven't even started working out yet!)
I am seriously loving it because I am not only losing weight, but I am getting healthy too!
Contact me and I can get you in touch with her.

Please don't use diet pills! They sound great but really, the best way is still a healthy eating plan and a little more exercise.

The advertising for these things is completely false and misleading. But there is a much more important reason not to use them.

They could lead to health issues later down the road. Some ingredients have caused heart conditions like Pulmonary Hypertension. Some of these we know about, but how many other ingredients out there are causing problems we DONT know about yet? Don't gamble on your health.

I have Pulmonary Hypertension, and while mine was not caused by diet pills, since I never used them, I have gotten the point. Every consultation I go to, the first question is always the same. Did I ever use diet pills. Its not worth the risk. Trust me, PPH is NOT FUN. And there is no cure.

Edited to add:
Notice how many people SELLING these things were quick to chime in? It is a moneymaking venture that preys on women's societal conditioning to be their most attractive and ornamental for the menz who have to look at us. (Not your fiance, just men and society in general)

These things also completely mess up your metabolism. They raise it while you're using it, then when you stop your body doesn't know what its supposed to do and can just go completely out of whack because it forgets what it was doing before you messed with it. It messes with other body processes and can be hard to recover from.

Use common sense instead of tricks and shortcuts. You only have one body, take care of it.

First on all, I am so sorry about the loss of your twins! I have twin boys and I know how being pregnant with twins does a job on your weight and your hormones. I started using an item called Hyperdrive 3.0 made by ALR. I didnt really expect to loose a bunch of weight quick...I wanted to just get a little more energy to help me do it and maybe something with help for snack cravings. I bought this on advice from another twin mom and it has helped me a ton! Ive lost 20 pounds since June and it has really helped with my energy level and also my cravings (with three kids I found myself not having time to eat but I would end up snacking way too much-this definitely helped with that). I found it at a local store here in FM, but I know ive seen it on the internet too. It also doesnt give me the 'jitters'. I had tried a couple of others that did. Good luck!

Sorry about your lost.. God will see you through...

I do not recommend Diet Pills at all. Healthy eating and Exercise works best. It's better for you health and last longer. With Diet Pills the quicker you loose the quicker it will return plus more.. Trust me I know..

You can start by cuting out fried foods,white starches, pasta and sweets. Sounds like a alot but it's really not.
I know someone that's a personal trainer (female) and she could help you also. Her name is Shantosh ph ###-###-####.

If you feel like you absolutely have to take something she offers a product called Advocare.. It works also but the healthy way..

I know you don't want to hear this, but anytime you take off weight fast, it comes back and twice as much.Diet pills sometimes have side effects and some make you cranky, you don't want your guy to see you this way. The best is to just have smaller portions, try to not have as much fried, and sugar makes you hungry, so try and limit sweets because of that, and get a little exercise everyday, don't try and over do or you won't end up doing any. But you can still eat what you like and not crash diet, and although it may come off a little slower, it will STAY off. I know this isn't the question you ask for, but I've seen too many friends lose fast and put it right back on and twice as much when they went the fast route.

Hello S.,

I have a botanically based skin care, health and wellness company.

We have an excellent diet supplement. It increases your metabolism, supports fat loss and curbs your appetited.

I have used this myself and love it. I'd tried hydroxycut in the past and it made me extremely irritable (sp?). So I quit using it and didn't see any results.

With our weight loss line I lost 16 lbs in 3 months. We have a number of great weight loss products. We have a candy that you can eat up to 8 of them a day that helps curb your appetite and gives you a little energy. They actually taste great too! I can't keep any on hand because I end up eating them all. LOL! We also have an energy drink that gives you a natural enery - no jitters and no crash. Also, we have a great protein shake.

I know I sound like a sales person but this is all from my heart and from my personal experience the way I truly feel.

Please let me know if you'd like further information.

Hello S.,

I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

As for getting the weight off, I carry a dietary supplement called ThinRite. When you use it along with a healthy diet and a light workout routine it will help burn fat and help you to tone and build muscle. As we age it gets harder to lose the weight and this has helped me get back into my pre-pregnancy size clothes. Cost is very affordable. Give me a call if you would like more info or to try it. Blessings, J. ###-###-####

First of all, please accept my condolences for your losses.

I lost 10 pounds in a month after using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Vanessa Whitmire is the practitioner, and she is now combining it with a weight loss program for faster results. I personally don't recommend the OTC stuff, since that jacks with your hormones and blood sugars, which is not what your body needs while recovering from a miscarrage. Here is the info on her program. If this group setting isn't what you are looking for, just contact her and I'm sure she'll work something out for you. Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend using diet pills. Considering what your body is about to go through I would focus more on eating healthy and exercising as much as you can and cutting out caffiene/sugar.
We miscarried 2 weeks ago today and I lost 8lbs from all the stress during it..it was a 6 week incredibly stressful ordeal. I've already packed most of it back on but am starting back on my exercise routine and diet this week now that I'm feeling better.
I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand wanting the weight to go quickly, but you have two kids who depend on you, so taking care of your body should be the first priority, not weight loss. Diet pills are a fool's errand...your body needs healthy food and exercise, not pills. I strongly recommend Weight Watchers online...it helps you retrain yourself to eat real food wisely and get active, and your kids will learn these habits through you and be healthier in the long run too! And for the record, I don't work there, I just think it's a really healthy plan.

Stephane,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been using Isagenix for a year. This is not a diet, it is a nutritional cellular cleanse to rid toxins from our bodies. All our products are organic. You will have more energy and feel great. It is the beginning of a big breakthrough. So many success stories. You can view them at www.wannacleanse.com.

My website is www.bestworldhealth.net. There is an awesome video about the benefits of cleansing http://feelthebest.isagenix.com/us/en/areyoutoxic.dhtml. This video talks about using our products http://feelthebest.isagenix.com/us/en/isavideos_cleansed..... There are more videos on my website under IsaVideos.

There are several ways to do this program; Weight loss or just Total health and wellness.

I lost 6 lbs and 12 inches in 9 days and I started my period on the last day. (The average person loses 5-15lbs on the 9- day program.) I did the first one before my 2 week vacation. But to keep it off and make it a habit, I suggest the 30 day program. I am now doing the Health and Wellness program and have lost a total of 21 inches, dropped my body fat from 36% to 21%. I gained 12 lbs of muscle, increased my bone density and have not been sick for a year.

Wishing you the best.
