Is it okay to take weight loss pills?

Only if they are prescribed by your physician. There is no quick fix. Diet pills and starvation diets don't work well to promote lasting weight loss. The only way to lose body fat and keep it off is to teach yourself how to eat and exercise well and do it. Don't do anything you wouldn't do for the rest of your life. Since you are presumably not foolish enough to take weight loss pills for the rest of your life, don't taken them at all.
