So, I decided to journal my weight loss while using the diet-pill Lipovarin.

Being an avid diet-pill junkie, I want to chronicle my progress for those who care and want a person’s honest feedback on this pill.

A bit of history: I've been slim all of my life until recently. I’ve always been anywhere between 117 and 125 lbs. My weight gain is completely due to me and my lack of exercise, eating out too much and boozing way too often.

Back in November I decided to purchase Emagrece Sim to loose a few pounds before a trip to Puerto Rico. The results were fabulous!!! I dropped 15 lbs. in 6 weeks! This was the first product to work for me besides Ephedra-based products.

Since my vacation, I've steadily put the pounds back on ... and then some. I would continue to take Emagrece Sim, but can't find anyone who will sell it to after its ban. (grrrrr!)

Some of my thinspiration stems from the fact that I’m 28 years old and look and feel like crap. I used to be a little *hottie* … of course my husband still thinks I am. But, enough is enough. I have to do this to get my life back. Not to mention that I have a stupid class reunion to attend in a couple of months and there’s no way in hell that I want to go looking and feeling the way that I do.

I received Lipovarin today and will begin taking the pills tomorrow. I think I’ll start by taking 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.

It has been 4 days and I'm UP 2 pounds!!!

I'm not blaming the product though ...yet. I haven't worked out at all and am not taking the product as directed. Over these past 4 days I have only been taking a morning dose consisting of two pills.

One side effect that I can report back on is that this pill makes me feel and act like Hitler . Holy cow do I have mood swings and am I crabby! I've never had effects like this from a pill. After these past few days I do feel that feeling going lessening.

Reason I think my weight is up: I had a weekend of binging and drinking while on a camping trip. I think I drank enough vodka to kill a small horse. Now that I'm back, I have come down with a nasty cold. Who the heck gets a cold in July! Obviously I do. So, I feel like crap today.

I'm going to up my dosage to three pills a day and see how things go.

I pray that these pills will do something for me.

I've upped my dose to 2 pills in the a.m. and 2 pills in the afternoon. I really don't feel a drasitc effect though. Maybe this is good?! My mood swings have tapered off as well.

Since i've upped my dose to 2 pills in the afternoon, instead of 1, I do notice that it takes me much longer to fall asleep.

While I don't feel hungry on the pills, I'm still eating out of bad habit. I tend to eat out of bordem. I bought a ton of gum and put it in all of my kitchen cabinets so that when i'm grazing for something ... I'll just pop a piece of gum into my mouth.

I haven't weighed myself and I don't plan to until next week. I can just tell that i'm still up in lbs. and I don't want to ruin my mood.

Do you think it's safe to also pop a No Doz or, some other type of caffiene pill while also taking lipovarin??

I kind-of want that hyper superwoman feeling.

I don't know what to say my friends. I'm not having faith in the Lipovarin pill. I've officially upped my dosage to 3 pills 2 times a day. I don't feel any differently. Except for when I take the pills late in the day (7:30 p.m.), then I am up for awhile at night. I've been lightly exercising and cutting calories.

This week I'm aiming to do my cereal diet. Eat cereal for two of my meals and eat 1 sensible meal. I am so sick of eating out for dinner!!! My husband and I ate at Outback Steakhouse and I didn't even want to be there. More so though, I was looking around the room and everyone was quite large ... like unhealthy large. I suddenly became very conscience that this can and will be me. I HAVE to do something now before it gets to that point.

I'm already at a point where I'm uncomfortable. My bra's are tight ... every waistband is tight ... my thighs rub together ... and I'm very aware of my double chin and thickening neck. I HATE IT!!!

But, that is why I'm here, right? To do something about it!

I'm going to continue to take lipovarin ... but I just don't have faith in the pills. Which, really sucks. This is officially the first time ever that I feel ripped off. Whatever ...

Hi
I have been taking Lipodrene for 9 days now.I m 5'7" 172lbs. I have been taking 2 a day and sometimes three if i can fit it in without taking one late in the day. I find at first it gives me a large boost of energy for like 30min and then nothign after that. For me they make me a little sick to my stomach which causes me to not eat. I find myself eating less then 500 calories on average. I thought i would drop the pounds like crazy. I dropped 4 lbs in 6 days then gained one back. SO i am seeing results but for the amount im eating i expected more. Maybe we shoudl just give it more time. I have not been working out so that might be the cause as well.

Oh and i defintily have the mood swings with the pills as well! Its bad! Its worse then PMS! I feel bad for my bf! Im also very emotional. I was crying during a episode of little house on the prairie, lol!

Keep me posted on your progress!!

p.s do you find the pills smell BAD! EWWW i hate taking them the smell really bothers me lol

Call me impatient ... but I've decided to stop taking Lipovarin.

Even though I've upped my dose to 3 pills / 2 x per day, I found that it doesn't do a damn thing for me. I don't get any effect from it. So, I'm returning the un-opened bottle to the place where I purchased it from.

I've gotta say... I'm pretty bummed that this didn't work. In fact, this is the first diet drug that didn't work for me. I'm thinking that I got ripped off by some knock-off version of it.

So, after doing some extensive research I've decided to order Phentermine. Once I receive it I'll start posting my reviews on this. I'm in such a pinch too be/c I have my 10 year class reunion coming up in a few months and I want the extra lbs. off.

Well, I'm gonna go for a run and burn off some of this steam... Lata!

So, i've been taking Phen blue/clear 30mg. for exactly 1 week now.

I already feel 100 times better while on this than I did when taking Lipovarin. I can honestly say that I have absolutely NO appetite. Which, is very odd for me. I'm a grazer and can always manage to grab a handful of chips or crackers ... not on phen. I have no desire to eat. I LOVE IT!!

I typically take the pill anywhere between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. ... and I feel great all day long. My side effects are super dry mouth, constipation and troubles sleeping. However, last night I had no trouble falling asleep.

I haven't weighed myself yet be/c I have TOM. I don't want to ruin my day/week ... so I'll report back after I weigh myself. I think I may buy a tape measure too -- just to see if I'm shrinking, but not loosing lbs. yet.

I also have the realization that be/c I don't have a ton of weight to lose ... I'll be on a much slower route to skinniness. My ideal would be to not weigh myself for 2 months and then try on a pair of jeans. I did that back in January when I was taking emagrece sim. I didn't weigh myself for two whole months and come time for a vacation ... all of my cute vacation clothes fit and were loose!!! I'd do anything to feel that way again. Well, that and to not feel my thighs rub anymore - ugh!

Anyone else taking phen 30 mg? I'd love to hear from you!!

There is a website MUCH like this one with the weight loss forum...but it's "supposed" to be for people taking Phentermine but after browsing the site I found that these people are talking about some pretty funny stuff...there's one post on there about "Have your kids ever walked in on you while you were..." w-o-w! lol but the website is Phentermine.com I got so exhausted looking for things actually pertaining to the Phentermine though! How's your weight loss coming? I was curious once I saw your post but got sidetracked with all the humor on that website I forgot what I was looking for!!

Well stay motivated. Maybe even set a goal for yourself. Here's mine: My "bf" is deployed to Iraq and we have it planned to go to the Chena Hotsprings in January when he comes back home to Alaska. The weather is going to be about -30 to -40 degrees so being in the steaming hot water will be SOOOO nice along with the aurora borealis blazing overhead...but since it's a hotspring, my motivation to push even harder this time around is I'll need to be in a bathing suit! So what's your motivation?
