Title: Weight Gain vs. Weight Loss
Post by: Jeanlea on June 19, 2006, 10:04:36 pm: I've been reading about several drugs that have weight gain as a side effect. Are there any drugs that have weight loss as a side effect?? Because those are the ones I want. ;D

The only way to rev up your metabolism is exercise.
