    …and I just heard they’re taking Meridia off the market because they FINALLY proved it caused health problems. The doctor giving testimony basically said “anything that helps you lose weight will always have serious side effects.”

    That said, I did take Phen-Fen back in the day, and it totally worked. It made you a complete space cadet, but in LA no one noticed. Thank goodness I didn’t have heart complications (I wasn’t on it for long, and I’ve had an EKG to make sure there was no damage). Now I realize how dumb it was to take a pill but live and learn.

    I love how you break down your exercise. That’s sorta how I’m going to have to look at it b/c my mind will talk me out of it (Oh, ps, I have to laugh at the OTHER people who say “You can eat like this, never exercise, and lose all the weight you need to.”).

    For me Hydrofit is my social time, weights are my aggressive time, and walking is my relaxing time. Still working on yoga but it bores me….

      Yoga bores me too but I am going to try. If it heals me and keeps me from being injured, I gotta do it!

    Wait – totally need to clarify…”Oh, ps, I have to laugh at the OTHER people who say ‘You can eat like this, never exercise, and lose all the weight you need to’ ” is different than those original ads you were referring to. There are some low carb/low sugar people (not pill people) who claim you don’t have to work out to lose weight as long as you follow that plan.

    While that can be somewhat true based on how much weight you want to lose, I firmly believe that the SHAPE of your body can only be improved when you exercise while you’re losing weight.

    Ok, enuf outta me today.

      A friend of mine used Phen-Fen too. Scary scary stuff! Glad you are ok.

    I definitely used to believe those ads and fad diets. And I always thought, it can’t be as easy as it seems. I soon learned it ISN’T!
