ang Hai, I’m sorry to hear that you are upset about being overweight recently. I think you should stop taking weightloss pills in no time because they are harmful to your health and take an active part in physical exercises. For example, jogging is quite a popular form to lose weight. You may do it in the morning or after supper. Another way is that you can go to the gym regularly, which is also a good way of losing weight and keeping healthy. Besides, you need to have a healthy diet, try to eat more fruits and vegetables to build up your strength. If you insist on these, you are sure to stay slim and healthy. May you succeed.
