My pastor used LA Weight Loss and it worked for her. She looks really good...but she said when ever she came in and hadn't lost weight, or gained, they were really rough on her. That may be good for some, but not for those that are sensitive.

There are many plans that work, the key is really what will work for yur personality and discipline type. I used (and still use)Weight Watchers and was very successful. I lost 123 pounds and now I run marathons, teach dance and even tried out for womens professional football, I used to be 256 pounds and would get tired walking ! Weight Watchers is great because it is so felxible, the weekly meeting really help with support and education about nutrition and excercise topics. Go to Weightwatchers.com and check it out!

No, at least the ones I've seen. The active ingredient is caffeine, the same as in a cup of coffee or tea or a cola drink, only you absorb it through your skin instead of through your gut. I think this is just a fad, exploiting the novelty of patch delivery systems rather than tablets. I'd be very surprised if there are any other types of patches that work.

Those weight gainers do work.  And yes, if you don't work out, you will get fat.  \n\nMore protein and more calories equal more body mass.

Not in my experience and it also helps you gain weight

I was on that pill for awhile and I did gain a little weight. It wasnt a whole lot but it was like 5 to 10 pounds that fluctuated for awhile. Unfortunately, almost every pill out there has a side effect of weight gain. The shot is even worse. Every girl i know who has gone on the shot has gained like 15 pounds at least. I think the patch causes it too. So if you are on any of these things, just be careful about what you eat and be mindful of your weight and you should be fine.

I used the pro-sero patch yesterday, I have chronic tendinitis and take 3 pain pills and 2 arthritis pills in addition. Yesterday I got relief after 15 minutes. Today I left off the pain pill and got more relief from the pro-sero patch than with the pain pill. I'm a believer!\n\nEarl

I'm weigh 235 and am also on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo.  My doctor told me they work the same as regular strength pills, just less side effects.  Only the patch gets ineffective after 150 lbs.\n\nI've been on it 3 years and no pregnancy.

As far as I know, it works as long as you will adhere to the recommended diets you need to eat. Most common side effect is the bowel movement changes  which is diferent from what you normally have - usually oily and bowel movement increased and a bit loose. Some degree of abdominal discomfort is the next usual side effect.\n\nSome obtained good results while others also didn't had the result they wanted . Many considerable factors seem to have a role.♥

I tried them for probably 1 1/2 month, and it didnt work out for me, i didnt lose any weight, and they gave me stomachache.\nI took several diet pills and none of them worked out. I lost weight with natural diets, counting calories, and taking classes at the gym 4 times a week.\nTry kick boxing classes, and 1 hour of steady bike. that worked for me.\nGood luck

Studies have shown that it does not lead to weight gain. I have not gained weight by being on the pill ... and the light periods are a big plus! :)\n\n\nBirth Control Pills Do Not Lead to Major Weight Gain, Studies Find\n\nBy Kelly Griffin, Contributing Writer \nHealth Behavior News Service \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDespite a common belief that birth control pills cause weight gain, a new comprehensive review of previous studies finds no evidence it is true.\n\n“There’s evidence that women may switch methods of birth control or stop using the pill because they think it contributes to weight gain,” said Laureen Lopez, Ph.D., a review co-author. “The good news is that this review found no evidence to support a causal association between combination contraceptives and weight gain.” \n\nBirth control pills containing two hormones (estrogen and progestin) are the most well-known form of combination contraceptives; however, women can also be given combination contraceptives by other methods such as skin patches or injections.\n\nLopez, of the nonprofit organization Family Health International, and colleagues analyzed data from 44 randomized controlled trials that compared a combination hormonal contraceptive to a placebo or to another hormonal contraceptive. All studies included information on change in body weight. While the evidence was not strong enough to rule out the possibility of weight gain with combination hormonal contraceptives, it did not find a major effect.\n\nThe review appears in the current issue of The Cochrane Library, a publication of the Cochrane Collaboration, an international nonprofit organization that evaluates medical research. Systematic reviews draw evidence-based conclusions about medical practice after considering both the content and quality of existing medical trials on a topic.\n\nOnly three of the 44 studies compared a hormonal contraceptive to an inactive placebo. Two were trials of contraceptive pills, while one used a skin patch. None of these three studies showed a significant increase in weight in women using the contraceptive compared to those using the placebo. \n\nFor the 41 head-to-head studies that compared different hormonal contraceptives or different doses or regimens, most comparisons did not show substantial differences in weight. \n\n“Weight gain is a major problem in the U.S.,” said Lopez. “Over time, many people do put on weight, and some women’s perception about weight gain may be that it’s because of the pill.” \n\nFear of weight gain is one of the most common reasons that women don’t use — or discontinue use of — the pill. In a national survey of American women ages 18 to 45, published in 2000 in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, half believed that oral contraceptives cause weight gain, and one in five women claimed that fear of gaining weight was a reason they would not start or would discontinue the pill. \n\n“The myth that the pill causes weight gain is deeply entrenched,” said Carolyn Westhoff, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University, “and the most weight-obsessed segment of the female population just won’t take hormonal contraception at all because they think they’re going to gain weight.”\n\nAccording to Westhoff, myths about hormonal contraceptive-related weight gain are shared by many physicians and health educators. “Overwhelmingly, doctors have the same incorrect myths as the general population,” she said, “and sometimes the counseling that patients receive by health educators incorporates and deepens these myths.”\n\nCombination oral contraceptives have been available since 1960 and are the most popular form of reversible birth control in the U.S. Approximately 11.6 million American women use oral contraceptives, including 40 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 24. If used correctly and consistently,

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

Actually, it apparently DOES, but I'll have to find the info.  The guy who "discovered" it believes that it works by starving the skin of oxygen, if I remember correctly, and that's why it's important to use at least 2 layers and leave the tape in place (putting fresh over the old if it starts to peel up) for quite some time.  If I can find a link, I'll edit to add it.\n\nEdited to add:  Got It!  Check this out:

It is a possibility, but unlikley.  In most individuals, it will tend to supress rather than stimulate appitie.  However, in the large population of its users some do experiance some degree of weight gain.
