Hi Im kinda new to these postings but I have always been a bigger person since I hit puberty. My whole family is what most people would call obese. I am so sick of it. I mean yeah I am bigger but why should that make me different than anyone else. Do I not still have red blood and feelings? Am I not human? I mean it just kinda makes me mad when someone says hi chubby or hey fatty. I am 5'10 and Im about 300 pds, the most I have ever been. I have tried diets and exercise but it is kinda hard to exercise when I have severe asthma and allergies. I have tried numorous things to no avail. I just wish people would understand that it is not easy to be obese. Its not like I just woke up one day and decided hey I want to be fat all my life and let people gawk at me and make fun of me cause I sure as heck didnt. Well does anyone know any good diet pills or an easy way to lose weight that is inexpensive and wont bother my asthma? Thank you for your time.

Hi I am on Adipex-P 37.5 mg and it has worked wonders for me. I am still about 60 pounds more then I would like, but I have lost 43 pounds in about 6 months. My doctor is kind of leary on diet meds, but he gave me this prescription so I guess it is safe. I hope all goes well for you. Take care ***dolphin***

I know exactly how you feel. I am in the same boat per say. I recently went to two different docs. because I have been having very bad female problems for 2 years now and need (according to both docs) a hystorectomy but niether will do it till I loose 50 lbs. I can do that, but because of the pains it is hard, almost impossible, at times to exercise. Neither doc would tell me or help me in anyway to loose the weight so I am on my own now. Hang in there and even though we don't know each other I do care.

Have you ever tried looking into BBW (big beautiful women) chatrooms? Meeting other people who are heavy and meeting people that admire full-figure women can really boost your self esteem!

Almost 2 years ago I went into one and met a bunch of people that I dearly enjoy. It was great! I found confidence in myself that had long ago went by the weigh-side (pun intended). I quickly found that men found me attractive and I was able to meet some great women friends who I would go shopping and dancing with.

Its really been a big help to me emotionally. I used to think that no one liked me, but now it turns out I was hanging around the wrong people! There are plenty of people out there that want to be around BBWs!

In face, I met my fiance in that chatroom. We've been together for a year and a half and are engaged to be married in the spring. And thats not all! A lot of the women in my chatroom have met and dated men from in the room. Its a really great community!

I just thought Id share since you sounded like you could use a friend.... Hang in there!

I lost 35 lbs using xenedrine rfa-1. I am 5'9, 145 lbs. I was at 180 about 4 months ago. I also have pretty bad athsma, and didn't have any problems using this. It worked great for me, you should give it a try. You also have to eat healthier, but that isn't too hard to do. As a former "big" person, I know how frustrating things can be like seeing all these cute little clothes in the mall that you wanna wear, wishing you could dance at the club without being nervous about people watching. Since I have lost the weight, I have been able to do both of these, and it feels great. You really should stick to your plan. I'm so glad I did. I have never felt this good in my life. I can finally wear all of those cute clothes (because god knows most "plus sized" clothing is hideous). I bought a pair of white pants the other day...can u believe it? WHITE!! I never thought I would wear white pants in my life. they use to make me look huge...I'm rambing now..good luck with your weight loss. I really hope it works out for you.

Princess,

About two years ago I took Xenadrine and I lost about 60 pounds and I felt wonderful. The thing is that I took them for a long period of time and I started having heart pulpations and did not realize that you can only take it for a certain period of time then you should come off of them for a while. I need to lose weight again but not as much as the first time, about 30 pounds and a couple of months ago I tried taking Xenadrine again but it really bothered me. I actually felt some discomfort in my chest and felt the pulpations so I discontinued the use. So now my question is do you think that it would be safe to take it again since it has been about a year. I thought maybe I had to detoxify or something and now that it's been a while, I thought maybe it would be ok to take it again. Does anyone have any advice? I would really like to lose the weight.
