I haven't found anything over the counter to help me with weight lose. I went to my doctor for weight management and got a prescription for Adipex. I begin taking the medicine and working out 2 weeks ago and has lost 12 pounds.

I am currently taking it. I'm sensitive to stimulant-type diet products and this one was fantastic. No jitters -- almost felt like I wasn't taking anything. Do NOT take it too late in the day or it may keep you from falling asleep. I can't take it after 3:00. I've had a hard time getting skinny after baby #3, and so I have finally resorted to pills to help me. What I do is take it for a couple of weeks to lose a few pounds and then stop for a couple of months to see if it stays off. It has continued through three cycles like that and so I just started another cycle to see if my pushing-forty body can handle losing more. To be honest, I tried to move "up" to Akavar a few weeks ago and didn't see any results. That's why I'm sticking with what worked in the past.

I am on it now and really like it! I have also cut down soda and drinking a lot of water! It seems to be working! I am really liking it. Just started and on week 2! It also has a little book with recipes a meal plan and some exercises that come in the box.

I had luck with it, but I drank LOTS of water and made sure that I cut back on my carbs. I did not cut them out completely, but tried to limit them at night. I did exercise more, but I think it was because I was losing and starting to feel motivated. The water is the key! I drank 3-4 liters a day! Hard to eat a lot when you are ALWAYS drinking! Good luck!

I have used slimquick in the past as a maintanance but did not love it. I am happy with my weight right now...but I use the Arbonne Figure 8 product during the holidays and special events when I want to eat more. :) I like the Figure 8 because it is natural...no ephedra...no negative side effects. Protien shakes to a full system. My friends who wanted to lose weight, lost it great...one lost two pants sizes and the other lost 12 inches. Both felt like the products worked and elevated their energy level. Both have kept the weight off.

Feel free to message me if you would like more information...I am happy to answer questions.

:)K.

hi M.,
i've taken slimquick about a yr ago and even this year. i did lose 10 lbs but you also should stay off or lower the junk food like chips and stuff.
you said you have a baby as well, but if you have a vitamin world around you go into the store and get a diet pack called the diet source and it's 53.00 and well worth it.
the box is a month supply and it has a menu better than slimquick and it will give you the results you're looking for. i lost 35 lbs on the diet source but also cut out a lot of sodas and junk food. also helps to messure out your food and keep a food diary. i keep mine on my computer with microsoft works task launcher. it adds up my calories and fat intake for each day. also walk around your house and google information on fitness and nutrition and you can see how calories can be burned with activities.
i wish you well and if you need someone to talk to about fitness please feel free to contact me online.. oh the diet source weight loss does sometimes takes more than one box. depending on how much weight you want to lose. with 35 lbs i took off i bought 3 boxed. depending on your body type too.

What's the main ingredient in that that is supposed to work? I don't know anything on the market that actually will work right now since they took away Ephedra(which helped me lose 30 lbs. in 3 months after baby no. 3). Now, they all say 'when combined with diet and exercise'... Well, DUH, with diet and exercise along you will get 'slim quick'. Now, just give me one bottle of will power, and another of time! :-) I did find some LIPODRIN awhile back online. it has 'ephedrine', I don't even know if they finally pulled that off the market but it was less than a year ago. It does have the racy-feeling in your chest, speed-like side effects though. It's the same ingredient they put in asthma medicine, and I'm not sure if you've ever had to be on that(they put me on it when I wan in pre-term labor to stop the contractions), but some people have it, some do not.
