Diet pills often have stimulants that lead to a much higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Furthermore, rigorous cardiovascular exercise is going to be a lot less harmful to you than diet pills, considering the hoped-for pregnancy. The other issue is that you'd have to immediately stop taking the pills when you knew you were pregnant, but you might not know in time. Stimulants can cause serious and permanent damage to a fetus. Also, you should be wary of non-FDA-approved drugs. They haven't been subjected to the extensive research (years of experimental tests) that FDA-approved drugs have, so there are likely long-term effects that aren't known or well understood. Please be careful.
Instead, try lifting free weights. Resistance exercises will help you build muscle, which will help you burn calories faster. Good luck with everything!
