18... now, technicaly, you CAN take them ealier, but, you have to expect more serious effects, and more hazards...
and yes, ask your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) first

There isn't any age that is safe to take diet pills, and least of all don't take some that were prescribed for your mom. Eat more raw fruits vegetables, and start walking everyday. You will see the weight start to come off. Stay away from pop, candy bars and any unnatural sugar products. You can get all your sugar in your raw fruits especfially if they are Organic. Also there is a lot of natural sugar in organic carrots. Use some common sense and you will lose those extra pounds. Good Luck!
