After my 1st child I wanted so much to be thin like pre-childbearing years. I did try some kind of diet pill--I don't remember how effective it was, because shortly after I got pregnant w/ my second child. Rather than a diet pill I have tried SlimFast. That seemed ok, but found I was hungry I mean starving after a few hrs. Then I worried about eating.
But what I found most effective is Grapefruit juice, Pink Grapefruit for better flavor.
I seemed to have kept this weight off. More energy(because of the weight loss and knowing that its w/o side-effects) without a pill. More energy because, too I have dropped the weight. All I know is that for me that worked absolutely the BEST. Good luck, and seriously just try the juice!

I can't do pills because I have thyroid problems but I do Weight Watchers and have lost 37 lbs before my last child was born. I'm at it again and it is going smootly. Last time I lost that weight in four months so if you stick with it and set a goal you can too.

I hate to be the one to say it...but here I go...if there was a magic pill that REALLY worked...would you even need to ask this question? I tried it all too. Phentermine destroyed 30% of my liver and now I have lifelong issues regarding that. Slim Fast worked well if you like to drink your food and starve...lost 30lbs after 2nd baby. Now I use a very controlled diet of 80% vegie and I exercise my butt off 4-5X a week. Lost 40lbs in 8 months and continue to have success. It is HARD work and that is why it WORKS! It took me 3 years to get motivated, but I am so glad I did.

I wish you all the best. Let us know how it goes!

Hi J.,
I have never tried them. I completely understand the curiosity about weight loss pills. But I think it is important for women to remember that we eat for more reasons than just being hungry. We eat when we're anxious, depressed, stressed... so just an appetite supressant isn't going to solve any problems- long-term. I'm no doctor, but I believe there is nothing like walking (for 1/2 hour)... it raises your endorphine levels (naturally occuring in your body) so that your ability to control eating that isn't due just to hunger, is really helped. Plus, it makes you feel GReat!

I do snack on Arbonne Chocolate Weight-Loss chews though in the afternoon while at work. They don't have any nasty chemicals in them and no caffeine... so I have found that snacking in the afternoon for me has subsided when I eat a chew and a handful of carrots or an apple.

If you want to know about the chews, you can email me..
totally up to you :) Good luck in your quest for better health.
It is a passion of mine as well.

answers from Billings on

I think most weight loss pills are scams. They prob work as a placibo (sp) or have something in them that gives you energy to move more (which burns calories) A good B complex vit will do the same thing for less money and it's MUCH safer!!! Also taking 1000mg of Vit C will help keep stuff moving and since the intestines can hold up to 10lbs of waste...well you know. Eating 25+grams of fiber a day also keeps you clean and full. I like to snack on frosted mini wheats-1 cup is 200cal and 6g fiber.
Also keeping good records helps me a lot. I use a free program called sparkpeople.com

Ps here is a great review site http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/slimquick-fat-burner-rev...

Hi J.:

I just joined this site so I was going through the questions that I know I've had problems with in the past. I tried every pill known to man, I'm pretty sure. :O I found a company that not only has meal replacement shakes and bars and supplements, but also has a fantastic program online that records everything you eat, drink, exercise you do, etc. When you input the info it gives you the information about how many calories you burned by the activity of your day. It is awesome and a great tool when you're trying to shed some pounds.
This program is not sold in stores. I don't sell it myself but I refer my friends and family to it all the time. Just email me and I can guide you in the right direction. My email is: ____@____.com

My mom has always told me to not try diet pills becuase she tried a few and always felt that they were just one big rip off with bad side effects. I do know, however, there is a great diet product/plan out there that if offered by Arbonne. They have a great support that you can call anytime you want when you sign up. There plan includes a lot of good foods as well as their products - fiber shake, protien shake and Going Going Gone weight loss vitamins. Plus, they also have "chew" to fight off those hunger pains.. they are extra chewy to let you feel that you have had something to eat. If you are interested in learning more about it, let me know; I can also show you how to get there products at a 35% discount.

answers from Lincoln on

J.,
I've never tried slimquick pills and I would like to caution you against doing so. I'm a fitness instructor (although I'm in no way the six-pack abs/rock hard bodies you see in magazines!) But, I do work h*** o* my personal health, and taking pills isn't anywhere on my list. Pills may seem like the easy answer, but they need to be accompanied by healthy eating and exercise (even if it's just walking a little each day.) I would just be skeptical of pills, because they usually contain some type of stimulant, and you don't know how your body will react. Perhaps you might ask your doctor about them? Good luck!
