I used to way 175 and I decided I didn%26#039;t want to be that misserable anymore I would just eat subway no condiments, and smoothie king I was working out several hours a day swimming, light weights lots of reps, eliptical for 45 min. I got down to 130 slowly decreased the excersise to get to maintenace and watched what I ate I went up to 135-140. I was comfortable with that because I am latina naturally curvy, hips, thighs etc. Well I managed to stay there for two years in august of last year is was like I hit a wall I went from 140 to weighing 200 lbs. by december. I have been increasing my work out cutting carbs, no sodas, I have been cycling 3 days aweek for 2 hrs and hicking 2 days a week for 3 hrs. I am slightly feeling results I eat 3 solid meals a day it is hard to count calories because my boss buys me breakfast usually from MCD%26#039;s so I get the fruit and yogurt parfait, I usually do a salad for lunch with low fat or fat free. and for dinner I try to grab a meat with some veggies.

I have gained weight due to a thyroid issue and have a horrible time losing weight. Meridia%26#039;s side effects are horrible. They weren%26#039;t worth it to me. Ask about a diuretic (water pill prescription), get plenty of exercise and drink water. It will be a slower process but it%26#039;s better than not making it to the bathroom in time. 100% 1 VoteOther Answers (5)

Most of the Rx weightloss drugs do have side effects that can be unpleasant...that%26#039;s part of the reason they aren%26#039;t available otc.
If your doc wants you on a med, then your health is at enough risk for her to want you to get the weight off now, and not in your own time by just trying to eat right/exercise.
Follow the directions, keep your doc updated on any side effects you do have, and get the weight off so you can get off the pills and make a healthy lifestyle change so the weight doesn%26#039;t return.

If you are enough overweight that your doctor prescribed weight loss pills then he must have also prescribed diet and excercise. I know because I was in your shoes a couple of months ago. My doctor gave me two options.....I could use diet pills to lose large amounts of weight fast and THEN stick to diet and excercise and most likely gain back a lot of the weight I lost or I could stick to diet and Excercise alone and have a true weight loss. Like you I considered weight loss pills and determined that in the end they would hurt me more.
I have lost 40 pounds in two months with diet and excercise and I know that it is hard for someone who IS overweight to stick to a diet much less excercise, but I guarantee you that if you take the time to lose weight the healthy way you will gain something so much more than just a weightloss! You will gain a self respect as well as self discipline. I have 20 more pounds to go and I probably feel 100 times better than I did before I decided to give diet and excercise a chance. Try it you actually might like it. If you have any other questions about this feel free to contact me, my email is travelbybrit@yahoo.com! 0% 0 Votes -
