After doing a lot of research - internet and personal experience included. I have decided there is no miracle drug, no losing weight without proper diet and exercise.
I have decided that the drugs on the market are mostly gimmics...However, I did find Phentermine to be great, but it just wasnt for me. However, even taking Phentermine I still had to exercise and eat right.
I have decided the way for ME to lose weight and keep it off is a lot of hard work. Yes, exercise and the use of will power. I must do only what works for me, as you must do what works for you.

I have found that for ME these advertised pills that promise to make me lose weight without diet and without exercise is just blowing my money. I have decided that starving myself is as bad as overeating.
So, I have decided that for me to lose weight I must work out everyday, eat right, and drink a lot of water.

No more pills, no more miracle shakes, no more sitting on the couch. Im up and moving, losing and using the fat, turning into energy. The only way for ME to raise my metabolism is to move my body. No pill, no diet drink, no specific food is gonna make it happen for me.

Thanks for listening to me go on.

People are certainly looking for a easy answer aren't they? It really is an input output model. It's calories you eat, vs. calories you burn. That's it.

So, diet and exercise it is forever. At least it can be done when you set your mind to it. Three years ago I thought I was going to be heavy forever, now I know I can do it. HARD WORK is correct!

Cheers,

Beth

I've never been on a diet in my life! I don't think any of them work or are healthy. I do what you do and just exercise and eat smart. I do take ohen, I find they help me stay motivated to do what I know I should. But your right, we are the only ones who can control our weight, no pill or shake can do it.

As I was reading the responses to this post I noticed that you have your past weight posted and your current and goal weights posted. This just proves my theory....Hard work and eating healthy do work!!
Thanks for your responses
