Starting ECA Stack
8 replies,
go to last post
Hello all...
I've been lurking on the WLF for a couple weeks and finally decided to join. I have already found all the info on here very helpful. I was about to order Phentermine off the net until I saw this forum and discovered that all the sites claiming to sell Phentermine were scams. Realizing that there were so many loops to jump to get the real thing, I started to look for another method to achieve my weight loss goals.
After a bit of research I have decided to start on an ECA stack. I ordered the E and C off of amazon which arrived in the mail today. Tomorrow will be my first day on the stack. I am 5'5 and at around 180 pounds. My goal is to be around 120 but even getting down to 135 would make me very happy.
I have always been a little heavy, until I was 18 when I had developed an eating disorder. At my lowest I was 102 pounds. All of my friends would ask if I was sick. It was when my boyfriend at the time looked me in the eyes and told me that I had a serious problem, then I knew I needed to recover. When I did finally recover from my ED I gained all the weight back immediately. And because of it now my metabolism is a wreck making losing weight very, very difficult.
I have tried just about everything on the market. They don't work. Learned this the hard way after spending tons on diet pills. Most of them actually made me want to eat more. I don't live a very unhealthy lifestyle. I do yoga and I'm a bartender which keeps me on my feet and moving 10 hours each day. I don't typically over eat but I do have a weakness for chocolate. *drool*
So, that's my story. Thanks for all the wonderful useful information I have found on this site. Hopefully I will soon be able to share my own success story!

This is my 3rd day on the stack. I haven't noticed any results yet but do notice that I have been eating a lot less. I love the extra boost of energy that I get from it as well.
However, since I started taking it I have gotten very dehydrated. The back of my throat is quite sore. I drink tons and tons of water morning, noon, and night but it seems to have no effect. I'm going to have to stop taking it until I can get rehydrated again...
Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions??

I commend you for putting yourself before the weight loss, especially with your ED history.
I've also been having trouble with a sore throat, but from what I understand ephedrine is used to dry up your sinuses.
I hope your throat gets better (:

Ephedrine is sold under the brand name Bronkaid, which is a medication that temporarily relieves the effects of asthma. It loosens and thins mucous secretions and clears your airway. Dehydration/sore throat is not a side effect of this medication.
However, Caffiene is a diuretic and when taking this you must increase your fluid intake. If you have already increased your fluid intake (over 2000 ml a day, or 3.3-20oz bottles of water a day) you might want to increase the sodium in your diet.
Increased sodium in the diet will cause you to retain more water and help prevent dehydration. This might slow your weight loss but will NOT effect your FAT loss. Actually, proper hydration is very important in any diet.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I actually discovered that I was coming down with a cold which was the cause of my sore throat. I started the stack again this week and added more water and gatorade. Haven't had any problems with dehydration and have actually lost 10 pounds.
Hey Carlie & everyone else here, I just started the stack today...
I only took it this a.m., Its 2:00, I should have took another dose at lunch, but I was leary...
have not ate much, and had some energy this morning....kinda slacking off now...
Thanks for the info! Every little bit helps!
