diet pills

thunderstar17 @thunderstar17 (323) • United States 14 Nov 08

Have you or do you use diet pills to loose weight? If so which ones have you used? Were you successful at all with the use of diet pills? Or were you more seeing more results with diet and exercise alone?

silvergillies I was taking phentaramine by prescription, I was losing 10 to 15 pounds a month, but it caused chest pains and now i have high blood pressure, so it works, but it can be dangerous. Now i'm trying to kick the soda habit and exercise instead.

silvergillies I'm odd when it comes to movies. I have a strange taste in films. My favorite action hero movie would either be... The League of extrodinary gentlemen, or Elektra. I like the first because it isn't as flashy as the bigger films and I honestly have no idea why...

What's the scariest movie you've seen?

To me, it's The Ring (American version). That part when Samara came out of TV was pretty scary.

silvergillies The scariest thing I have ever seen in a movie?? That is a hard question. The original Hitcher was extremely scary and had me on the edge of my seat. Also, the movie Black Christmas was pretty good, but a little to mainstream for my taste.
