Hi,I am fairly new here and am over weight.I am 4"11 and weigh 139.I am female,26 years old.Well,back in oct of 2004 I weighed 150.Well,now i weigh 139.I have been taking mini thins and eating less but no exersizing.I am worried that somthing else could be wrong.Is that normal weight loss with eating less and taking mini thins?Mini thins are really for ahsma,but have ephedrine in them too.I heard that ephedrine helps with weight loss.Can anybody let me know if I should be worried,Please!

Eating less does do the trick in the long run for weight loss. It sounds like the ephedra is causing you to lose the weight so quickly. Ephedra is banned here in Canada I don't know if it is in the States. It is very dangerous it causes heart problems, strokes..... I would be weary if I were you. I mean I know it seems awesome with so little effort to lose weight but it can have it's side affects.

Yes,Ephedra is banned here too but there is some places that still sell them,I dont know how but they do.(I get them from a gas station)Well,I went to the doc for a sinus infection and he also told me how bad they were for me,but said that is why I am loosing weight.I am happy I'm loosing weight but just worried that I have cancer or somthing cause it seems to be coming off pretty quick.But I have drastically cut down on eating and eat smaller portions.

What are mini thins? How much weight have you lost, and what are the dangers of them?

What are mini thins? How much weight have you lost, and what are the dangers of them?Mini thins are pills for ashma,but they help with weight loss cause they have ephedrine in them.The reason why they are dangerous is cause they get your heart rate up and can cause high blood pressure.I have lost 12 or 13 pounds in 3 or 4 months,give or take alittle.At first I thought it was 2 months but found out from the doc that I was at 151 in september and now I am at 139(Give or take alittle on that,it fluculates alittle bit)But the doc dont think nothing is major wrong except he did tell me not to take those.

Yes, mini thins are dangerous. Why are you taking them? If you have problems with asthma then you should be on prescribed medication, not junk bought from a gas station. A friend of mine took those things for years and ended up having a heart attack at 27.

What would you rather do, have bad health or put a little more effort into losing weight by simply reducing calories and exercise??? It sounds like you want an easy way out to me, and what are you going to do after you lose the weight and you want to keep it off? And you never stated that you had asthma, you just informed us that those pills are also good for asthma.

Yes you did, you asked in exact quotes "should I be worried." And if your not losing weight from restricting calories and exercise than maybe there is something wrong with you thyroid. I wasn't trying to be rude but YOU DID ask whether or not you should worry and my aswer is YES. You probably weren't asking about the "dangers" of these minit thins, but anyway, it sounded like you were worried about it cause I just re-read your quote again. You said you didn't want to be lectured, then why would you ask such a question?

I was just trying to let you know that doing this will benefit weight loss NOW, but it won't be your easy ticket in the long run, unless you want health problems, that's all I was saying. I didn't mean to offend you nor was I implicating that you were lazy. Sometimes people need to hear this whether they know it somewhere in their head of their's or not. :) I've read many people warning others on these other threads about the dangers of diet pills.

My friend was fine too. And she is also an adult. Being fine and being an adult doesn't make you immune to heart problems from taking this drug.
Yeah, my friend was fine. Until she had a heart attack.
Nobody is lecturing you, but you DID ask if you should be worried. So we're telling you. You asked a question and we're answering. That's all, nothing more.

And yes, I know, you asked if you should be worried about losing weight too quickly. But I think the reason you got the response you did about the mini-thins is because some of us got the impression that the pills were the REASON you were losing weight too quickly. But apparently you're not, so nevermind.

And now you're educating other people on how to get them and how many to take.
Don't you people care about your health? I can't believe some of the ignorance I see on this board about pills and everyone trying to find some miracle weight loss gimmick.
Do you really think (this is to the ones inquiring about the pills) that junk pills bought in a gas station are going to do you any good?

I'm quoting you here because you included the subject of mini-thins in your original post. That led us to believe that this was a concern of yours. I wasn't the only one who responded about the mini-thins, which obviously means that I wasn't the only one who felt this was indeed a concern. If it wasn't a concern then you shouldn't have included it in your original post of being "WORRIED" about yourself.
I/We gave you our opinions. And now you say you don't want them. If that's the case, then you shouldn't have bothered to post. Anytime you make a post saying you're worried about yourself and then include pills that you're taking in that post, then be prepared to receive opinions. If you can't handle the opinions, then don't ask.

I'm not judging you. I was simply concerned about you taking these things because they were the reason a very dear friend of mine had a heart attack. I was only trying to warn you of the dangers.
You said you were worried about losing too much weight. You included "mini-thins" into your post. So naturally we assumed that the mini-thins may be part of the problem.
That's all, nothing more. You're obviously being defensive for a reason. Maybe you can't stop taking the mini-thins. If that's the case, I suggest getting some help.
And help is all we were trying to do. Because you asked for it.

Ok first of all i didnt ask any one if i should be worried about taking them.I wanted to know if i was loosing weight to fast.And second, I was just answering a question.I know what the point of this website is.But I didnt know that it was to insult people.Are you being sarcastic when you say "do you pick up a 12 pack of beer with it?"Ahh,no I dont,but yes I do drink occasionally.Are you going to lecture me on the dangers of drinking to.There is dangers with that to.I am tired of discussing this. :yawn: It is getting old,everybody has a right to their opinion.

Yes, I was being sarcastic about the beer. But not to you...just to that fact that you buy weight loss supplements from a gast station. I mean seriously, that cannot be good. You are endangering your life. Putting a post on here saying that you think you maybe losing weight too fast is about the same thing as ASKING if you should be worried. Euphedrin is NOT a good thing, sweetheart. It may not have any bad effects now but the long term effects could bite you in the ***.
How old are you? Do you have children?

Then you should have stated in your post that the mini-thins were not a concern or, better yet, left the mention of it out of your post altogether.
We're not trying to be rude or bossy or naggy. But when you put Losing Weight and Worried in the same post with the mention of over-the-counter-in-a-gas-station drugs (drugs that most of us know are dangerous) then you're going to get opinions.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you're doing and I hope you eventually come to realize that the only way to gain or lose weight safely is to eat a healthy diet without the drugs.

When I first clicked on the post I thought it was similar to my situation but found out it wasnt. I am in the same boat. I weighed about 150 this summer and am 5'8''. However, I just recently weighed myself and am all the sudden 135. The things that I have done different since this summer is acquired a boyfriend and started eating more junkfood. :p I also quit working out...I used to run about 5-7 miles a day. This is why Im worried. I would have thought I would have put on weight but am wondering if there isnt something going on internally that is taking weight off. Help!

Yes, That is exactly why I was freaking out to,but everyone missed the point.I would say go to the doctor.Have you just been snacking alot on junk food?Are you eating regular meals?Do u have any other symptoms?Maybe it could be a thyroid problem.I am sorry I cant be more help.Let me know if u go to the doctor.Good luck.

Ive just been eating more than before and garbage food. Pizza, Pasta, Chips, etc.......I NEVER ate that stuff before. I quit running and working out. I used to run 5-7 miles reiligiously. It seems to have halted now around 135 for about 2 weeks. I was 150lbs to start with.
