I took it 3 years ago and lost 15lbs QUICK....but I wouldn't do it again knowing the dangers....
It made me so jittery and I got headaches from it too....

I just go the safe route now...Diet and exercise~

Re: Metabolife

Thanks for all the feedback. I just started taking metabolife recently and I have no side effects. Then again, I'm taking half the recommended dosage. My only complaint is that it totally kills my appetite. I can eat breakfast and lunch but when dinner rolls around...I don't even want to look at food. I had wanted to know if anyone had bad side effects because I'm worried that I'll get hit with them later.

I'm determined to lose weight. I almost cried when I went to look for bridal gowns. I'm normally a size 14/16 in dresses and I was measured and told I would need a size 20 dress!! My mom thinks they want to order a large size so they can go crazy on the alterations. *I* think I need to get my butt in shape.

I've enlisted *three* coworkers to go to the gym with me. I bought a pair of rollerblades to go skating with FI.

OK, enough of my rambling...

When I worked for the OB/GYN, he told me that he is convinced that metabolife (as well as some others but especially this one) interferes wtih birth control, and has seen many women become pregnant. Not a risk I am willing to take on top of the million other side effects.

Re: Metabolife

Don't worry about the size gown that they're ordering for you! Bridal gowns (for some insane reason) notoriously run smaller. I'm normally an 8/10 and i think they orderes a 12 or 14 for me! This is the one time that size does not matter!

Good luck losing though! I'm right there with you!

Re: Metabolife

Your absolutely right those gowns run small, and that even varies by company. I tried on 10 different dresses in a size 10, and some were so small I couldnt even BEGIN to zip the back up, some were a little snug, and some fit me. Dont worry about the #, you will find a dress that looks gorgous on you!

Re: Metabolife

I'm the same as palebride - normally a size 8/10, tried on dresses in a 14.

I actually had to get a 16 dress and have it altered but only because they couldn't get me a 14 in time, and I LOVED the dress.
