There's this miracle pill to make you lose weight...

[winterchillsco]

Everytime you turn on the TV, the radio, open a newspaper there is an ad for a the newest miracle pill to make you lose weight. All of these ads say the same thing, the pill reduces your appetite so you are not hungry and don't want to eat and you lose the weight. I don't know about anybody else but before I changed my WOE I was never hungry anyways because I was constantly eating and never allowed myself to become hungry!!

Well to think of it I'm never hungry now either because I've changed my WOE only now I'm eating all the right things...so now I'm eating and losing weight and I don't need their stupid "miracle pills"!!!

Okay I really need to work now...I've spent the last 2 hours reading the boards...it's my new addiction...LOL

How about the one for Levitrin or something like that, it's only $153 a month and will help you lose weight. I would rather spend my money on steak!

Funny thing though all these miracle pills when you get them,[and I have tried many] in small print somewhere on package tells you to drink a ton of water and count calories and fat intake! Plus most suggest exercise as well!

Oh yes, and if you have high blood pressure or take any medications check with your Doctor so you don't have a heart attack.

my usual litany... there is no magic pill. there is no magic pill. there is no magic pill.

leptoprin. those commercials piss me off so much. that one guy on the commercial scares me, i cant possibly believe its safe to lose over 20 pounds a month for 8 months in a row. i think the worst part is hearing them say its only for those who are seriously overweight, like 20 lbs, then you NEED it. ummmm 20 lbs? that is seriously overweight? phbt! maybe if you only weigh 50 lbs!

But you all know that that is exactly what we have wanted all our fat lives. I was talking to another friend dieting and we were comparing notes.... I used to go to bed when I was younger and hope that the wishes would come true and I would be skinny, or that if you could go to the dr for a heart transplant, why cant they just cut out all the at in your body and you would be skinny.... Now of course, I am trying to make my body realize that I won't go to sleep fat and wake up skinny, it is going to take a long time and a lot of work, exercise, effort and eating the right things to get rid of the weight I have to get rid of, but oh, wouldn't it be great to have a pill to take and wake up skinny.......
just dreaming.

If there was a miracle pill for weight loss then we would all be skinny...........

My miracle pills are all hidden in pieces of steak, chicken breasts, and chili verde pork. Sometimes they are hidden in eggs. I eat more food than I ever have in my life, several times a day, I'm not only not hungry I'm kinda stuffed, and I've lost 52 pounds since September 18.

A miracle indeed.

Oh! You mean there WERE no pills in those foods! Go figure!! :-)

Sorry to burst your bubble but ALL weight loss pills work!!!, YES, that is right folks, they actually work.

Especially if you read the fine print that says "when used as part of a diet and exercise regimen". If we could stick to a diet and exercise regimen, we wouldn't need there pills. Most of these people are people who are already sticking to a diet and exerrcise regimen, so they can say the pill works. A multivitamin is as effective.

They make me sick also because those of us who have not been able to stick to a diet and exercise regimen are being preyed on by these individuals.

Just remember not to support them by buying any of there junk!!
