Ht. 5'2", Start: 270 lb, Today: 270 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 170 lb - I know what ur thinking,her goal is shocking but i wanna belive that i can really do it.i told my self last summer that i was gonna loose weight to be normal for my new school and it didnt happen.now i said the same thing and im the same with 1 week of summer to go.My mom(which is doing this just so i can do it with someone),grandma(which is already skinny),my sister(which only thinks she's fat),and i (the fat one)are taking a magic pill.which probably will not work frm the look of things.i tried herbal life,alli,magic pills,taking a EXTRA gym class in middle school,starving my self,books,exersice and many many diets and nothing changes except the increasing numbers on my weight.And the scary thing is that im not big boned or have something bad that i cant control b/c i already checked with the dietrition and doctor since i was 7 yrs old.Can any one give me tips,books,diets,whatever that can and will work for me.PLEASE

My Grandmom Did that same thing a long time ago and Its not good to starve yourself! Just like Don't eat as much! Try weight watchers! It works! Here is the website www.WeightWatchers.com

There's no such thing s "magical pills". Diet pills can kill you.

Whatever you do Carla, DON'T GIVE UP! Also, I doubt theses pills are safe, especially not for someone your age, so I would stop taking them and look for some healthy alternatives. Starving yourself doesn't work because while you think you're loosing weight, your metabolism slows down, therefore your body things you're staving and will hold on to every calorie you eat, asking it harder to loose weight, and no faster than if you were on a healthy diet. Exercising constantly is also bad for you. For tips and advice, read what I replied to Katie and my own post a few posts down. Best wishes! :D
