Is this going to work?
I'm five feet six inches tall and I weigh nearly 180 pounds. I want to weigh 118 pounds again, maybe less. I have been eating a lot less but it seems like the weight just doesn't want to come off. I don't have a whole lot of time to exercise, but I try to squeeze in a walk around my neighborhood when I can!
I have 3 bottles of those Stacker 2 pills but I haven't started taking them yet. They're the kind without ephedra. Does anyone know if they work and if so how should I use them? Also I am on the antidepressant Lexapro and I heard this can cause you to lose some weight. Does that work?
Any other "miracle" cures you can come up with, well hey I'm willing to try. Just please do NOT tell me to go on the Atkins or South Beach diets!

Maybe give some free advice about: ?
Go on the Atkins.. or South Beach diet. (I'm not joking). Other than that, MAKE an effort to get the excersize. If you want to loose weight, you have to do stuff so that it happends. It's not going to loose weight by itself... Drink alot of water too =)

I've been trying to lose weight myself, and like you, I don't have much time to exercise. I cut my fat intake down to 20 grams per day and it's working pretty well so far--I've lost eight pounds since I started about three weeks ago. You'll still need to try and get *some* exercise (you said you're walking, that's really good) but the best advice I have for you is to read labels closely.
Oh...and about the low-carb diet craze...according to most things I've read, complex carbs will lower your cholesterol and/or keep it relatively low. So I don't believe in the Atkins diet either.
Best of luck to you.

There are no miracle cures that will keep the weight off. Yes there are all kinds of crazy diets that will help you loose weight, but I gaurentee that you will gain it all back once you stop the diet. If you want to loose weight eat healthy, and devote sometime to excersise. You can't tell me you to don't have 10 or 20 minutes a day to do some quick excersises. Crunches, pushups, steps, arobics ect.... Walking is great and all, and good for your heart, but thats not going to do much for the weight. Especially if it is only done once a week. You have to work at it to make it happen, don't depend on pills and miracle cures.

well i can't tell you if those are going to work or not i suggest that you see a doctor first. There could be a drug interference when taking your antidepressent and the diet pill. I have found that Optifast works really well. I have been on that diet for a month and have lost 12 pounds. but you may think that it doesn't sound like much i also lost 2 pant sizes. But it costs alot of money. and it is a controlled diet i hope that you can find success in what ever you do .

As always, there are no 'mircal' weight loss soulutions, and any one who thinks there are need there head sorted. I'm not sure about these pills you have, but I would consult a doctor about them as they sound like a gimick to me. Weight loss due to anti-depressants I think is just a side effect and may not happen with everyone.
The key to weight loss is as always excersise [well done you for trying], balanced meals, and less food. But to make weightloss stick you have to carry on with your diet. There is no point in going on one simply to loose a few extra lbs then to stop, as that will mean you will put it all back on. Also don't crash diet; wean yourself off the excess foods gradually.

The Atkins diet doesnt work anyway. I am 5'6 too but i weigh 105lbs. For me, i like to do a lot of situps. You could go on a run but have some music play while you run, it makes you concentrate less on running. Good Luck
