I know ephedra is now illegal, but I'm still looking for a powerful
weight loss suppliment. I'm 22, male, great health, jog 2 miles daily - do
resistance training, but I'm having a hard time loosing that 20 extra
pounds because I eat alot. I've tried other pills but they don't work
and advise me to eat less, So I'm looking for a weight loss pill to
burn off extra calories I take in. I want the name of the product and
where I can order/find it, along with any information you can provide for it.

Good luck, man.  Everyone has a miracle pill to sell.

Your health sounds excellent, and you are to be commended for your
excercise ethic.  fwiw, maybe one aspect to consider is *what* you eat
versus how much you eat.  If you can get yourself physically full,
it's easy to stop eating.  You just have to find the right foods that
you enjoy.

Sprouted grain bread is great stuff:
http://www.mybloodsugar.net/foodforlife.htm
It is extremely filling.  A piece of bread is a light meal.

and this:
http://www.tasteyoulove.com/products.asp?section=products/spray
is great on that bread or steamed vegetables.

and I love this peanut butter:
http://www.low-carbbakery.com/smnacrpebu16.html

The low-carb fad, imo, is backed by the meat and restaurant
industries.  I am not militant about it, but I am a vegetarian.  It's
hard to be a fat vegetarian - not impossible, but hard.  I am no
expert, but if you spent just one week eating that bread, toasted with
peanut butter or the spray, and lots of brown rice, steamed
vegetables, and beans (there are many potential "beans and rice"
meals), and minimized the meat and cheese, with that exercise you are
bound to see some result.  Also, feta cheese is a great diet food for
cooking, as it is very flavorful - try omelets, salads, and
quesadillas.  Once again, good luck.

Forget the pills, they're no good for you.

It's all in the mind.

You've just got to watch what you eat.

If you can discipline yourself to do the exercise stuff then you can
discipline yourself to do anything.

Me? I am VERY careful!

I only eat MODESTLY and all the right stuff at mealtimes: absolutely
NO huge helpings nor LOTS of courses.

Of course, I often feel hungry many times during every day but that's
my cue to dive into my bowl of fruit.

I DEVOUR tons of fresh fruit and I love it.

Here's what to do ... Get some grapes and call them 'pills'. You can
even store them in pill boxes, if that helps.

Then every time you get hungry, you pop a pill.

Easy!

Now, do it!

You don't mention what else you do, but you might want to consider
adding more exercise.  Also, increasing the intensity might help. 
Check to see where you are in your target heart range.

Have you done circuit training with your weights?  Might want to work
up to an hour or two bike ride.  Throw in a stair climber.  Jump rope.
 Swim.  The more you do, the more you burn.  It all adds up (or comes
off).  Just pick something that works for you.

How can you go to an all-you-can-eat buffet if you have done all-you-can-exercise?

Remember, a fast way to gain weight (fat) is to injure yourself; so
add it gradually.

Thanks guys - but I work and school full time, so I can't do all that.
Eating healthy or less or MORE excercises? Or.. eating sugar filled
fruits and pretend they are pills...felt like he was addressing a
child and not me. You always patronize everybody or just overweight
kids?
"Then every time you get hungry, you pop a pill.
Easy!
Now, do it!"

...thaaaanks....
Everybody else, great suggestions :)

I think people are reluctant to suggest a pill because the weight loss
market is fraught with fraud, psuedo science, and dangerous pills. 
The latest pill often has little history so it hard to judge the long
term side-effects.

Ephedra
http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/ephedra/factsheet.html
The study found limited evidence of an effect of ephedra on short-term
weight loss, and minimal evidence of an effect on performance
enhancement in certain physical activities. It also concluded that
ephedra is associated with higher risks of mild to moderate side
effects such as heart palpitations, psychiatric and upper
gastrointestinal effects, and symptoms of autonomic hyperactivity such
as tremor and insomnia, especially when it is taken with other
stimulants. The study reviewed over 16,000 adverse events reported
after ephedra use and found about 20 "sentinel events" including heart
attack, stroke, and death that occurred in the absence of other
contributing factors.

SOME OPTIONS

Drink Lots of Cold Water
Superhydration
http://www.classicx.com/html/body_2super.html
I proved that chilled water was a significant boon to the fat-loss
process. I actually had some of my subjects progress up to two gallons
of fluid a day. Interestingly, the individuals in my programs who
consistently drank the most cold water tended to lose the most fat.
(But...)
"Drink at least eight glasses of water a day" - Really? Is there
scientific evidence for "8 x 8"?

Add More Muscles
You might want to reevaluate you resistance training to see if you are
getting the most out of it.  Are you giving your body enough challenge
and rest?  More muscles will burn more calories, just from sitting
around.  There is wide variety of workout programs.  Sometimes a
shorter workout is better.  Changing exercises every so often can also
help build muscles.

As to having grapes as "pills", we sometimes play little "mind games"
to help deal with our "inner child".  There are lots of tips out there
to help, like taking a different route home to avoid fast food joints
or brushing your teeth to avoid snaking.  Also, a little bit of
"healthy" sugar (small fresh fruit snack) might fight off that hunger
feeling.  Just watch the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load from some of
these snacks.

Good luck with lossing the extra weight!
