There are ton of people at my office who take pills or all these fancy designer "shakes" (not protein) to lose weight. No offense to anyone but there the same weak willed people who drink too much or do other things they shouldn't do. Not saying that anyone in this thread is like that but the 5 or so people I know who take Isagenics and other supplements are the same people who have addictive personality or are just lazy. Sorry just the reality of the people in my office.
I weighed 225lbs April 2, 2010 (I keep a journal) and on April 2, 2011 I weigh 175lbs now and I feel fantastic. I bust my arse working out and don't eat crap food. Pretty simple to be honest. I biked 6863km and ran 156km last year (journal) did countless push ups and just kept active going for walks with my wife and taking the stairs any chance I got.
Use a calorie counter and be honest with yourself. Get a Heart rate monitor to assist with your workouts so you know your hitting your burn zone. Get active and stay to the outside rows at the grocery store. I feel so freaking good, my health (never get sick) and mood have been just awesome.
Taking pills is not going to help in the long term in my uneducated opinion I hope they work for anyone who takes them but there not for me. You have to make a life style change and enjoy it or it will never last.
