IMO there is no "diet pill" that will work if your just looking for a magic pill in order to lose weight. As with any dietary supplements (key word here is "supplement&quot, you need to make sure you have a good, clean, balanced diet with an excercise program in order for any type of success.

Replace lunch or dinner with a GNC Lean Shake, make meals smaller, eat more bars/shakes. I lost 40-odd pounds last summer, I can do it again.

my exact plan, too... along with waiting until May and classes will be done so I can start getting more than 3-4 hours of sleep/night again.

I dropped down to 159, my lowest ever, right after losing 7 lbs of water in a soccer game (actually 2 back to back games in 106 degree heat)... Sitting about a healthy 175 right now. Shooting for 150. by the end of summer. (5'10")

He described it as an inner conscience saying that he didn't need to eat a giant hamburger, even though he still had the desire to eat it, the adderall side won. A few months ago he dropped the adderall to see what would happen and had gone back up to a pudgy 165 (pudgy because of laziness). But the conclusion is adderall seems to be an impressive appetite suppressant in the few cases I have seen first hand.

... I once tried Hydroxycut hardcore for a summer because my boring job had me eating to pass the time... and it actually worked reasonably well as an appetite suppressant.
