I don't see how you can accuratly measure down to the pound what you weigh on a daily basis. I mean... what if you ate a big meal and it's still in ya... that'll make it look like you gained a pound... but you didn't.

Ya go take a healthy #2 and ya loose 2 pounds... or however much. Point is I don't think that it's too accurate to measure down to the pound.

Like right now... I'm going to loose weight... brb

so unless you're taking a dietpill with ephedra, and working out for 6 hours a day, and eating healthy on top of that... there's no way its fat your losing.

You may notice that you 'gain' it back in time.

you can safely lose 4-5 lbs a week, most will say 1-2 lbs is healthy and realistic though.
didnt the FDA recently ban ephedra? Or did Hydroxycut just stop using in their product???

anyways janna, unless it continues, I wouldn't "sweat it" If it keeps ups or the condition worsens stephen king thinner style, then I'd got see a doctor

They banned it for use as a diet product.


Remember that drug ya take to clear your sinus' pseudaphed ? Its lab manufactured Ephedra - and perfectly legal.

You can still buy it, labeled as a decongestant.

You can also buy it on the grey market, like ebay and whatnot. Many people stocked up hardcored on ephedra, and diet pills with ephedra

Ephedra= Against FDA regs (plant that ephedrine comes from)
Ephedrine= Cool with FDA regs(extract and refined from Ephedra), unless you are making Meth from it.

Agreed, but I was the same weight for a week within .5 of a pound, so still...not like losing weight is going to hurt me anyway.

yea, not exactly black but grey which are not straight from the dealer or point of origin. like in hongkong, my sister bought a samsung phone, the guy lied and told it was from the dealer in hongkong and ended up being a different model and was imported from switzerland.
