My sister in law is taking a diet pill and I want to know what it is!

She had a baggie full of them in her purse & she took one before eating lunch out the other day. It has to be a diet pill, because she has lost a TON of weight in recent months & won't say how. I want to know so I can take it too, because clearly it works! But I can't just ask her because she has already said she doesn't know how she is losing so much weight ("stress" she says), and because she tried to be discreet about taking the pill.

It was a long, grayish/tan capsule. Pretty big.

What was it???

Your crazy girl.......it was probably ephedra (aka legalized coke) or something equally as destructive.......Your best bet is to do it the right, lasting way....this way....a year from now when she's gained ALLLLLL her weight back plus much more (bcs. I bechya she will).....you will be able to flaunt your awesome body along with your healthy, forever lasting lifestyle.

Well, if it's not....my cousin is soooo breaking the law.....I've never looked into it so i'm not even sure when it became illigal......either way.....anything even similar to that is bad news.

Well good luck. I have taken dang near every diet pill known to man, Fastin, Tenuate, Meridia, even Acomplia which isn't even approved by the FDA, ephedra, even Ritalin and NONE OF THEM WORK. Let me repeat that for empahsis...

NONE OF THEM WORK!!!!!

If you find out what it was, exactly, please share the information with the ret of us or send a DM to me, because I am fresh out of ideas.

It very well could have been Max Wlx, You take these before your two biggest meals of the day. I know they work for sure because my sister is on them and loosing weight , she has tried everything under the sun and had no luck. If you want more information feel free to contact me.

I have a friend like that too. She just says I don't know how I'm losing weight and she was very obese and now she's a twig. She doesn't exercise and eats alot of food too. I just don't get it. I was suspicious because she says she doesn't know and I also know she goes to the doctor for quite a few other prescriptions. I would never take anything because I already know how to lose weight. 5 years ago I lost 40 lbs in 5 months by low fat, no junk food, no caffeine, and walking which turned into jogging, which turned into jogging very far everyday. I felt so energetic. I would run 8 to 12 miles everyday. Then I had my little son who is now 5 and I haven't been able to get back to that again. So, I've gained 15 lbs. back and I feel awful because I know how I could feel. I hope I can get some motivation to get started again. I would like to be a size 4 and full of energy again. But no pills for me.

It's probably Alli, the fat blocker. Is she eating a lower fat diet now?
