Get rid of potato chips and creamy salad dressings.

I used to take ephedra and felt like that stuff really helped me drop weight. Of course, everything good has to eventually be regulated and/or banned.

I did take that a few times before the banning. But I can kinda understand why they banned it. That was pretty close to speed to me especially when you're trying to recover. It was like Meth without the foil and rotten teeth

Ok maybe I'm the only one on these boards in this particular stage of life but I can't take anything really because I'm breastfeeding and I'm likely going to be pregnant before I wean my toddler so there goes any supplements other than prenatal vitamins. Not that I'm complaining because I've taken caffeine pills and a few other mostly-caffeine over the counter/very legal/but made me feel awful pills and they were probably not that smartest thing I've done.

No on caffeine pills! There is a little caffeine in the fat burners but not like the ones you get at Walmart. Those make me feel jittery and honestly I feel more hungry than before. I just drink coffee in the morning for my fix. I'm with you on how it makes you feel.

Peg..thanks so much for starting this thread..it is most timely as I GAINED 8 pounds while on vacation! Yikes!
So..now I have to get that off along with the additional 5 pounds I want to get rid of.

I totally agree with the lifestyle changes. That's sustainable. Creating healthy habits.

Yeah I quit them about 5 yrs ago. I couldn't take the lack of sleep although they did help me stay awake in grad school. haha...No they were awful. Once I thought my heart was going to explode and it just wasn't worth it. Now I just drink coffee and even that I'm cutting back on.

I recommend running the night before a weigh in and not properly rehydrating afterwards.

That sounds like some high schoolers I worked with who were on the wrestling team.

Been there...I survived one fall for the most part on a pear a day diet. I made weight, though...
