During my pregnancy for my now 2 1/2 yr old son I gained 100
pounds (yikes I know, awful). I have had weight problems off and on my entire life (am now 27) getting down to my thinnest (150
pounds) before getting pregnant. I was about 240 after his birth and shot up in the next few months to 300
pounds. I have tried
Atkins, South Beach, low
fat, low calorie, low carb, slim fast, every
diet and pill available to lose weight. I cant seem to shake the weight. After being on a 1200 calorie
diet +30-45 mins vigorous exercise 4-5 times a week for a month, I have lost 12
pounds. My doctor just prescribed to me Dexadrine for
weight loss. I havent started taking it yet, but looked on the web and found it was a drug for ADD with
weight loss being a side effect. Has anyone used it for
weight loss or have any ideas? I would like to lose about 143
pounds now, the quicker the better. I can keep it off once I get rid of it, its just the losing weight part I cant seem to get.

I am desperate to lose weight and quickly, I dont want to take a year or more to lose this weight, my self esteem is simply nonexistant now. I am very depressed and always tired, I have no
energy for anything any more! please help! My doctor has taken all kinds of tests and cant find anything wrong with me, I feel so hopeless
