I've heard great things about ALLI as long as you do what the box suggests. Don't worry, you can do it, 2 months is plenty of time. Have you been exercising? If not, at least start walking everyday and lift some weights. The idea behind weightlifting is not to do heavy, but to do a lot of reps with smaller weights. I've lost a lot of weight this way so good luck!

Hi D., First, God Bless you, your family & Husband for his service to all of our everyday freedoms! Thank you so much for your sacrifice!
now, please, please, please don't take diet pills! Here is the problem, they will mess up your metabolism to the point that you will have problems keeping your weight normal no matter what you do, plus, heart problems, shortness of breath, thyroid. the list goes on & on! First, join a little program, Dr. Phil, weight watchers, something that you can do online. I'm sure you have no time, so just do the ones that you get your menus on line. or do a heart healthy diet plan.
And get "Leslie Sansone, Walk away your waistline" walking is the best thing for you! She has a great program that you will love & it's so easy to learn, in no time you will be able to do it from memory while watching the news or Everybody Loves Raymond. It's really good & you can move up! Remember one thing, just one thing.
Burn more calories than you take in. That's it!
We've all been there! I'm still there everyday! Weight sucks! but, don't put your health at risk for weight!
Good Luck & God Bless!

Be careful about diet supplements. The best way to lose weight is to eat better. I teach a weight management class called Transitions. It teaches you how to eat correctly, exercise and lower stress to aid in losing weight. It's very good. There are supplements that can be used to help jump start the process too. But pills are not a short cut to healthy weight loss. If you're interested in more information, email me at ____@____.com or go to www.debirby.transitionslife.com Good luck!
By the way, using meal replacement shakes is a very bad idea! If you severly limit your calorie intake it messes up your metabolism big time and then you really won't be able to drop the pounds!

Hi D.,

I know that you would like to have the magic pill and get an answer that fits your wishes, but I am sure that there is no safe or magic pill that helps you to get in shape, or lose weight . I do know that just healthy habits and exercising is the only safe and long lasting way to be and stay in good shape. Most of the magic pills and fast options to lose weight are just commercials and TV shows. Any doctor can assure you that. You don't have to exercise until you fall on the floor, just 30 minutes 4 or 5 days a week like walking, jogging, lifting weighs or dancing are most likely to help you with the diet you want. Keep out of your reach the sweets and the fatty foods, and eat at least 4 meals during the day. Find out with your physician the ideal of calories you should be consuming each day according to your weigh and height, there is the magic!..I have hypothyroidism, even though I am not heavy, I had several pounds which I did not need them, and I started to do what I am suggesting you right H., and I can tell, it is great and healthy and it has been possible to lose weight and keep it that way with a very busy schedule and two kids and all that you can imagine being a STHM. Ah...don't forget your veggies, grains, fruits and lots of water!
Good luck and my best suggestion, please forget the "magic" pill. Take good care of yourself

There isnt one, TRUST me, they dont work! Back when ephedrine was legal they worked, but they also killed people. Try weight watchers, I have lost 35 lbs in less than 6 months. Its not hard at all, and its healthy!

The best diet pill that worked for me is Alli... I lost 50 pounds really fast and its the only diet pill that's FDA approved. It has fat blockers in it. The only problem is your going to go running to the restroom to do a #2 a lot...

Ephedra is perfectly legal again. You can buy Metabolife with or without it. Their was a lot of court cases over it. The overall thought by the companies that sell ephedra is that it's only dangerous when people over do it and that those that are smart enough to use it right should not be punished by those taking it wrong.

I have used a lot of products like Metabolife. It's really the same as taking Phentermine. It's just a type of speed. The same effect can be had by drinking too many energy drinks. My doctor asked me if energy drinks make my heart palpitate. I told him only if I drink the equivalent of 4 per day! He just laughed at me. I told him I only made that mistake once.
