i wouldn't take any pills unless your doctor said so. the girl that use to be really big might of had her doctor tell her to take a certain kind of pill. and i knew a friend who took pills with out the doctor saying so and lost 15 pounds but somthing wasn't right and her doctor made her gain the weight back. if u really want a pill ask your doctor and see what he says. he may agree and give u some pills that will be alright for u to have
