I'm Trying To Lose Weight After Having A Baby And Need The Extra Boost Because Diet And Exercise Is Just Not Doing It For Me
My OB/GYN Doesn't Prescribe Them.
Dose Anyone Know A Doctor In The Tacoma Or Puyallup Area That Does?
Please Let Me Know. I Have 40 Pounds To Lose. (5'2 160 Pounds)
I know of a weightloss center in Dunwoody, Ga that has a program that your looking for just google them. I don't know why everyone is being so mean about how you or I chose to lose weight. I had my last child and its been such a challenage for me as well. I guess I thought everyone was hear to uplift and voice their opinon without hurting feelings or being so mean.
Why not try alternate day fasting? It's very easy and saves time as well as money. Unless you have to cook meals every day for a family.. then i guess it's not so easy. Maybe you could use the 2-day/week fast? Check out the thread I started on this forum re intermittent fastingc for a lot of different perspectives and experiences on this regimen.
In the past two years, the OP has posted exactly 6 times. The last time was - two years ago. The first post was 2 years ago. That's a clue that the OP probably isn't reading this thread anymore.
Adipex and other prescripton weight-loss pills are for people who have tried conventional methods of losing weight and failed. Anyone who is recovering from childbirth is not someone who's a likely candidate for prescription weight loss pills, primarily because their hormones are still in transition. Spend the next year making a reasonable attempt to lose weight in a traditional way (that is, eating small portions of nutritionally dense foods and getting a combination of cardio and strength training exercise a few times every week), and then if you find after a year you're not feeling healthy, go to your regular doctor or ob/gyn, and ask for advice and/or a referral to a dietary/nutritional specialist.
Weight loss clinics don't care about your health. They care about your wallet. Period.
Maybe you don't eat right. I recomand a medically supervised weigh loss center. dramaticweightloss.com have a great nutritional program that can help you lose weight fast.

It's a commercial site that sells protein shakes. If you are actually seen by one of their doctors, you can probably get phentermine, too.
Neither of those is going to produce long term weight loss.
Instead of buying protein shakes, see a nutritionist and learn how to make nutritious meals using real food you buy at the grocery store. Until you do that, you will struggle with your weight.
Can we actually have a conversation about why you all advise against medication instead of bashing the OP and accusing her of seeking a drug dealer?
I have PCOS and I am 40 pounds overweight. I started exercising with a personal trainer twice a week and clean eating with portion control on December 1st of last year. I have lost exactly 5.4 pounds. My results do not reflect upon my hard work and sacrifice and I am getting frustrated. Yes, I am researching the supplementation of medication therapy.
There's no reason at all to address the OP's post because, as I posted already:

Violetnights: If, by "research" you mean "asking strangers on an internet forum what they think about something" then you might want to revisit your concept of research.
If you mean you are actually researching it - good luck with your studies and I hope you find something that works, SAFELY, and efficiently, for you.

Ask your doctor about metformin.
PCOS is associated with metabolic disturbances, including insulin resistance, and metformin can help with that. Some, but not all, women who take it find it helps with weight loss.
It can also improve fertility, so if you do not want to get pregnant, precautions are in order.
I dont think u will find too many docs who are going to write for metformin to lose weight and adipex should only be used to help jump start a diet plan.

"Metformin — Metformin (Glucophage®) is medication that improves the effectiveness of insulin produced by the body. It was developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes but may be recommended for women with PCOS in selected situations.
If a woman does not have regular menstrual cycles, the first-line treatment is a hormonal method of birth control, such as birth control pills. If the woman cannot take birth control pills, one alternative is to take metformin; a progestin is usually recommended, in addition to metformin, for six months or until menstrual cycles are regular. (See 'Progestin' above.)
Metformin may help with weight loss. Although metformin is not a weight-loss drug, some studies have shown that women with PCOS who are on a low-calorie diet lose more weight when metformin is added. If metformin is used, it is essential that diet and exercise are also part of the recommended regimen because the weight that is lost in the early phase of metformin treatment may be regained over time."
Violetnights is exercising and has changed her diet. She says she has PCOS. She may be a candidate to try Metformin. That's why I suggested she ask her doctor about it.
