Hey everyone! I'm new to this board. I've been here before, but just now got to posting. Ok, I'm 5'11'' and I weight about 282. I went shopping yesterday and OMG..i'm in a size 24! This has upset me so bad! I don't even feel like leaving the house. I don't look that obese..but I am. I mean I LOOK like a size 18. I'm just so blah right now because I have lost weight before. I've lost 90lbs...gained it back....45lbs...gained it back..get the picture? Lately i've been eating healthy and i'm not losing anything! I'm having my thyroid checked out tomorrow. Although, my last blood test indicated it was normal. Anyways I've considered looking into gastric bypass, since my bmi is at 40, but I don't think this is for me. Now, I've taken phentermine (rx) before and done well on it. My question is do you or have you taken any rx or over the counter diet pills that have worked? If so what and what was the results? Thanks everyone!!

Yes I tried that metabolife or whatever it was called a long time ago with no success, they pulled that one off the shelf. It raised my heart rate way too high and I icouldn't continue it so that might be why it didn't work but that was just too dangerous. I have tried green tea extract(last year) for hunger control and it helped with that but I never really lost any weight cuz when I did eat I ate all the wrong things.
SO I haven't had a lot of good experience with them. Whatever you decide I wish you a lot of luck.

I weighed in at 255 and a size 20 I feel horrible about it and 2 1/2 weeks ago
I started my diet(lowfat and calories)to try and hopefully do something about it.
Summer is around the corner and that means shorts(YUCK!)and I like to take my
kids places and actually have energy to do things with them instead of sitting and
watching!
I think my main motivation is looking at all the pictures that have been taking of me
in the last 2 years I see myself way bigger in them than I do in the mirror.
I to dont look like 255 when I told my hubby he was shocked and thought I weighed
right around the 200 mark.I do weigh 235 now I have lost 20 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks
I am sure 1/2 of it is water loss but I have been making myself go for 2-3 mile walks
every night when the sun goes down and it does make me feel better.Anyway good luck to you and keep posting to let us know how your doing.
I am from Northern KY Bellevue area?

Yeah, its done really well with me. I tend to be a binge eater so I know there has to be something to it.
Here is exactly what the label says: South African HOODIA Gordonii 500 complex -
and on the bottle it also says "Hoodia sourced from the African continent" From everything I've read, thats how you're supposed to know that it really is Hoodia and not just fillers. Hoodia comes from South Africa.
