It is good that you decided to try Meridia before AAS....but what are you goals? Are you looking to gain muscle or lose weight? Meridia is meant for appetite suppresion.

I wouldn't trust homemade Meridia. I've never even heard of anybody making their own.

I also don't think one week is long enough.....give it more time....at least 2-3 more weeks. You aren't being patient enough.

I'm also curious as to your workout regime and diet.......perhaps that is part of the reason you aren't getting results. Patience is vital when wanting results.

One last thing......are you only supposed to take 1 pill each day? That seems low.

My goals are to lose bodyfat...I don't want to gain any muscle at all to be honest. I'm very muscular as it is and actually wouldn't be upset if I lost some of it haha

workouts consist of weights about 3 times a week and at least 45 min. of cardio 6 days a week. (I take sunday off)

Diet is either a protein shake or plain oatmeal(1 cup) with cinnamon and splenda and egg whites. Lunch is a salad with grilled chicken or possibly a chicken breast with sweet potato and a veggie(lima beans, brocc.). I will have another shake after workout. Dinner is usually same as lunch...and if I'm hungry I'll drink a shake for a snack.

and yes one pill a day- actually it specifies to absolutely NOT take more than one...

so I'm not too sure what could be the problem...I've read some other forums and girls were saying that the pill started working for them after about three days. Apparently they are very overweight according to their stats which could possibly show affects sooner. Any help???

I'm wondering if you are eating enough. I suggest at least one more vegetable serving, and definately more essential fats. Udo's oil, olive oil, nuts, nut butters, etc. You need some of those for fat loss.

When you do cardio make sure that you do some HIIT in there.....that helps with body fat loss. I don't think you need quite so much cardio. Less cardio that is more intense is more effective. Maybe cut it to 4 or 5 days a week. If your body isn't resting and recouperating properly, then you won't lose fat.

As for those other women being very overweight......that is probably why they saw results so early. Definately wait it out. I don't think one week is long enough.

Thanks Miss Muscle for the suggestions...hopefully someone else will hop in on this discussion and give their thoughts as well...

So more high intensity interval training and more veggies. That makes sense...and as for the fats I get them from fish. Instead of chicken I switch it to fish(salmon and mahi mahi) and a male bodybuilder friend of mine said orange ruffy(spelling) was pretty good too. But you are right, I need more fats...

I will let you know how it goes. THANKS AGAIN!!!! Feel free to add anything else

Meridia isn't anything special or else it would be a much bigger deal. My speculation is that it is mostly useful for ppl with a severe obsession for eating constantly. That is, these people don't eat because they are hungry but because of other mental issues, probably relating to obsessive compulsive disorder and the like.

And just for clarification, Meridia powder isn't made in anyone's home. It is simple capped at somebody's home.
