Question Posted Tuesday June 6 2006, 2:26 am

Okay,so i have a friend who started to use"lean blance" diet pill.
She lost 25 pounds in to weeks.
I really want to use it.
My mom isnt a fan of pills,but hear is my story.
Last summer,i worked out and took dance classes.
Somedays i would work out for 3 hours others 2 hours.
But everyday i worked out ate the right food.
No result,after 4 months.
Zip,nada
So yes i have anger about it,because i pushed myself to a place ive ever pushed myself.And im proud of that.
But,im not happy with the outcome.
So i talked to my mom about it but she doesnt want me to.
The sideafixs are headachs or stomach promblems.
Can,some one help thinks of ways of trying to help my mother understand.
Because she says workout,and it MAKES me so mad.
Because i worked my ass off,and nothing to prove of it.
Its so hard to lose weight.
And im not happy with my self,at all.
Can people give me suggestions as to what to tell my mom ?Please

First off, how old are you & how much do you weight.

Check your BMI on a website, and see if your techinacally overweight, if so, then heres help.

You might have a thyroid(sp) problem. This is something that controls your whole body. Your doc could do blood work to find out.

If your not overweight, maybe you have no weight to lose!

i'm not sure, but pleaes do'nt obsess over this. Maybe over dance you gained muscle & lost fat, so it equaled out. (muscle weighs more than fat)

Hope i helped, see your doctor for help on this issue if its tht big of an issue.

Diet pills are dangerous when they go into the wrong hands...these are people such as yourself who are the casual dieter who just obsesses over their weight. Steroids and diet pills are reserved for the professionals...not the casual fitness buffs.

Your mom is right.

I'm sorry for being mean, or dissapointing, but she's right.

My mom tried Relacore.

She complained of stomachaches and she said she felt really dizzy.

My mom decided to go the safe way, so she ate healthy stuff and she went to the gym about 3 times a week. She's been doing that for 2 months now and she's lost 6 pounds. She replaced regular soda with water and sometimes diet soda. She replaced white bread with whole grain bread and wheat bread.

My aunt goes to the gym every day. She drinks tons of water and no soda. She is forming a six pack, toned her thighs, and her stomache looks flatter.

Diet pills are not safe. Period. Even the few that are perscribed by doctors aren't completely safe, and those who take them need to be closely monitored. You mother is correct in not allowing you to use them. In fact, if you are so young that you need your mother's permission then there is no reason at all that you would need any medication to loose weight. There are stuctured programs that you can join (like weight watchers) that are completely safe and effective for everyone. Even though you didn't loose weight in dance, a structured program will pinpoint what you need to do. Keep in mind that however long it takes to loose (2 weeks for your friend) is how long and easy it will be to gain it back. Those pills reduce water weight, not fat. Which means (shocker!) that a little water is all it takes to put the pounds back on. Don't waste you money, or you health.

I dont mean to come accross as arrogant, really I dont, and feel free to rate me down. However, your mom is right. Diet pills are not good for you. They dont deliver what they promise, they can be a hazard to your health, you often regain any lost weight due to the fact that you still have bad eating habits, and the weight you lost is often not fat.

You mention your friend as proof that they work, I see that example as proof that they are no good. No human should lose 25 pounds in two weeks. That was unhealthy and probably largely muscle and/or water weight.

Also, clearly when you exercised you did not eat right. If you did not lose weight then there was something wrong with your diet. Plain and simple, you are not immune to regular weight loss.

If you want, I can help you with that. However, I fully understand if you hate me right now and the last thing on your mind is dropping a question in my inbox. However, the offer stands.

Good luck.
