I think the name of the pill is Adipex. My best friend used it, and it works, but they are a little pricey. I, too, am trying to lose weight. I used to be an emotional eater, but not too much anymore. I changed a lot of my eating habits, but I still have a long way to go. Drinking water is the hardest thing for me. Well, outside of exercise, but I've started back with my Tae-Bo, and I hope I stay motivated enough to stick with it. The doctor that prescribed the Adipex for my friend is an obesity doctor. He also gave her a shot of Vitamin B12, and a diet. The diet is a little strict, but I tried it, and it works. It basically reduces your daily caloric intake. Nothing I would do forever, but it's nice to do once in a while, just as motivation. So, in trying to take the cheap way out (obesity doctors are a little pricey, too), I went to GNC and got some little diet fuel (not hardly like MetaboLife, that stuff has TOO MUCH caffiene in it!!), and some Vitamin B12 tablets. The B12 is to increase your metabolism. The diet fuel is more of an appetite suppressant, which is what Adipex is. So it's pretty easy to do these expensive diets for next to nothing!! But they are not lifestyle changes! It's just a start, I think. It helps to motivate you when you lose 10 Lbs in a week, to keep exercising and eating right to keep it off. I think I'll try weight watchers, since some of you guys have had such good things to say. And I agree, it is so much harder when you don't have a support group around you. Me and my best friend tried it, but she's two hours away, and it's just not the same. But I am definitely interested in having a little online support!!! Ok, this post has gotten a little out of hand, so I'll end now!!
