Is taking weight loss pill okay if you are 16?

I really want to lose about 58 pounds in 5 months and well it isn't working out too well,I am eating healthy, exercising every single day and nothing seems to work! The more I am working out I am starting to gain weight! What should I be doing?

The best way to lose weight is always to let it come off slowly (1-2 lbs. per week max.). Otherwise, you mostly end up losing water weight, which comes right back, and muscle mass, which you need to feel active.

I personally wouldn't take any drugs to enhance weight loss unless they were prescribed by a doctor, as they can be dangerous and/or make weight loss/maintenance even more difficult once you're off them. If you're having trouble losing weight, you should see a doctor, anyway. He/she can give you lots of tips to help you achieve healthy weight loss as well as diagnose any rare conditions which may make weight loss more difficult.

Good luck!

Keep doing what you are doing :) good workouts and good eating habits are the way to go. You might be gaining weight because you are gaining muscle! But after you gain muscle you will start to lose some if the fat around them. Just make sure that when you work out it leaves you breathless, hot, sweaty, and in need of a shower... That is tha best way to tell if your work outs are working or not. I hope I helped :)

Weight loss pills are potentialy dangerous for your health : do NOT mess with that stuff, please.

(they contain molecules close to metamphetamine [=speed] and or cafeine)

i certainly hope so, I am and have been taking them for months... lol. but yeah, generally, the pills contain large amounts of caffine, which boosts your metabolism. as long as you drink plenty of water with them and use in moderation (like anything) you ought to be fine, I would think.

... might wanna consult a doc before you do, tho.

You realize they require ID to buy those right?

And you should start gaining weight as you build muscle. Muscle weighs more with fat. The more muscle you build the more fat you will lose assuming you are consuming slightly fewer calories than you are burning each day.

Clearly you aren't going about dieting and exercising correctly, otherwise you'd be losing weight. The only other thing I can think of is that you have some sort of medical condition that impedes your weight loss goals...

This is my diet and exercise plan and it works wonderfully for me- link

See a doctor or a nutritionist.

weight loss pills don't work, if your lifting weights then that could be why your gaining weight, just try cleaning up your diet

there's no such thing as an easy way to lose weight. a pill isn't going to work. you need to keep at it
