Diet pills & protein shakes

Hi! I'm back :) It's been a crazy couple of days and I love it.  Today was the first day of getting back into my early morning habit of waking up @ 4:15am to run.  It was really hard, but I know I'll get used to it and go back to loving it.  I am feeling a little tired, but that's ok because I know I don't have to run tonight heheh.  I am, however, going to hit the weights!  Can't wait. 
This morning I got on the scale and saw that I had gained a pound.  I'm assuming it's because of the muscles I'm building, but still I freaked out (I ain't gonna lie).  I feel like I'm NEVER going to lose these 10 lbs and get to my goal weight. So damn frustrating.  For some reason I can't cut my calories because I get hungry and if I get hungry and don't eat, my stomach starts to really hurt and get hunger pangs really quick.  Sucks. Any suggestions?  A friend of mine even suggested diet pills and I refuse to take it, I'm scared, but at the same time I know I'll get faster results.  I'm eating healthy, working out, running a lot, etc... so it can't fail right?  Well, in the past I've tried them and my hair started falling out.  Was it due to stress, or the actual pill? I'll never know, but I don't want to find out.  Are there any natural and safe fat burners out there that will speed things up?? Who knows. I am running out of patience and I just bought a new bathing suit!
I've been drinking protein shakes as a meal replacement, but I see no results from it.  I only use this one because it's huge ass tub and it was a gift.  I'd feel bad if I didn't use it, but I can only drink so many of these before getting sick and tired of them!
I really want to try this one, but I'm afraid they're like all other protein drinks I've had and I'll end up wasting money.  Hopefully I'll try it one day, it sounds great and I love their shaker :)
On another note- I have started making a vision board! Does anyone else have one?  Of course I got the idea first from http://fitnessista.com/ and my new favorite blog This girl is amazing you must check out her page.  She's so inspiring and very positive!  Once I have it made up, I'll post it on here. 
Geez I sure did miss blogging and can't wait to be back with a new post :) 

What are your thoughts about weight loss pills? Any safe, natural ones that actually work? (I don't plan on using them)

What's your fav protein shake and why?

Do you have a vision board?  I have too many things to put into just 1 and that's why I'm making 2. :)  See you in a while.

  1. I think diet pills or weight loss pills are a pretty bad idea! Not only are they dangerous, but they will only give you short-term results (if any). A lot of them just work as a diuretic, so as soon as you stop taking them you gain the weight back.

    Just keep on working out and eating healthy and the last 10 lbs will be off before you know it!! :)

  2. I love Jay Robb protein powder. It's kinda pricey, but tastes great with awesome nutritional info. I buy mine from Amazon.com - I think they have the best price. I just add ice, skim milk or almond milk, a banana, spinach, and sometimes a tbsp of peanut butter depending on how long I want it to hold me over. delish.

  3. Two things

    1: I think diet pills are a big no no. I once took slimfast when I didn't need it and lost no weight. When I stopped taking it I gained like 10 lbs. Eating healthy and exercise will get you where you want to be.

    2: I used to drink GNC amp vanilla. Now that I eat less processed food protein powders taste a little too chemically. If you're having trouble cutting calories I might eat those calories instead of drink them (it'll make your tummy less grumbly).

    I've been meaning to make a vision board for a looooong time! I need to put stop procrastinating on there....

  4. What about juices and a lot of vegetables? Tried a program like Weight Watchers? I don't believe in drinking calories too regularly or replacing them as a meal.

  5. Reading this spectacular article is much better than losing body fat with phentermine. It is just so remarkable
