    Get a food scale, use my fitnesspal and be 100% about what you're eating, when we estimate its usually so wrong. add cardio to burn fat, lift heavy to build muscle which burns more fat (you wont get bulky like a dude, i promise, you'd need major supplements for that) and don't give up. stop drinking calories, cut out booze etc.

    diet pills will make you sick and shaky and can put horrid stress on your heart, that as a bride, you do not need.

    Isagenix (not diet pills, but a cleansing program with high-protein meal replacement shakes, etc.) It can be expensive, and I advise not signing up through a rep because they'll try to trick you into selling it too. Maybe check eBay and stuff. I'd start with a can of shakes and a can of the cleanse. It does not contain any kind of diet pill - just high quality ingredients.

    DO NOT use diet pills. They mess up your metabolism. If you're struggling to lose weight still try cutting back on food intake and changing up your exercise routine. Your body has probably gotten use to what you're doing and needs a change to "shock" your system again

    I would say do what @andixlyn said...but to answer your question...phentermine worked for my old roommate. She lost like 60 lbs. I mentioned it to a co-worker and he took it and lost 50 lbs. You have to go to a clinic or get your primary dr to prescribe it. I haven't used it and think there are far better and healthier ways to lose weight, but just wanted to answer your question.

    I got that Sensa stuff, but I'm afraid to try it cause I heard it's like meth for dieting.

    I miss wine!! when i started using the myfitnesspal i realized how much of what i drank was making my calories high, so thats always my first piece of advice. i HATE peeing all day, i feel like its a waste because my body is obviously not holding onto it. hahahaha

    but if you've been eating clean and working out a ton, maybe @Milwaukee_Bride is right, your body is used to it, change it up a bit. have a cheat day then go back at it but change the workouts a bit or change the foods a little. if you're eating (ultra) clean (read that as boring and chosen by my gymrat FH) like we are you've gotta be tired of chicken/turkey, brown rice, broccoli. ugh, i want cereal just thinking about it.

    Thanks everybody! Alcohol isn't a big deal...I don't drink anyway. Only water and an occasional coffee. Ok you guys talked me out of a diet pill. I will do what was recommend and go a step further. Just a pain weighing food and food prep! Anyway thanks again girls!

    Good, I'm glad you're going to stay away from diet pills. They really aren't something you should get into since they aren't good for you. People who use them are a lot more likely to gain all the weight back once they stop taking them, too, which I'm sure is something you don't want.

    80% food, 20% exercise. Be 100% honest with yourself and what you're really eating. Diet pills may work temporarily, but as soon as you run out/stop taking them, you're shortly back to where you were. Keep doing it the natural way. Try not to eat breads, sweets, potatoes, pasta, etc. Lean proteins, green veggies, lots of water.

    Be mindful of the hidden sugar in foodstuff. For example, a branded Greek Yogurt with fruit on the bottom has fifteen GRAMS of sugar in a 150 gram serving. (I too miss wine!)

    Also, jumping on the changing up your exercise routine bandwagon! If you can find classes in something fun, it changes the pace and gets your mind off the "no pain no gain" mentality

    I complained that I haven't been able to get over the ten pound hump to my friend who is a fitness director, and when I told her what I was eating, she said I needed to eat more. It's possible your body is trying to conserve whatever you are ingesting.

    Calories in < calories out = magic weightloss formula. I could eat carby sweets all day and as long as I stay under my TDEE, I will lose weight.

    Yeah, skip the diet pills. You might have hit a plateau if you aren't loosing inches anymore. Change up your routine and change up your eating habits. Someone else made a good point about eating too few calories, which sometimes can be a factor as well.

    I would strongly recommend you against buying such diet pills that "work" . First of all, majority of such pills are not FDA approved. While they do help in losing weight, they severely affect your body parts like causing Liver damage, stroke or heart attack.
