Weight loss pills& potions - HELP

monkeys_bunny

Hello,

getting married on 5th June 2010 (65 days!)

i have most things sorted, i have the dress. but i have also put on 2 stone since getting the dress.

i have a lot going on at the moment and just seem to be eating junk and cant motivate myself to stop. i have done every yo yo diet under the sun including more sensible ones such as Slimming World.

i NEED a quick fix, i know its not the long term answer, but i need it for now. so i need you help.

do you know any slimming pills etc that actually work and if so the best possible price/place to obtain them.

for your info:
im 5 foot 7inch
29 years old

Thank you for any help you can offer:T

i was like that 4 weeks ago - then I was on celeb slim and decided low carb is the way for me and moved to atkins- have lost 11 pounds since and feel like my attitude to food has completly changed

celebity slim the norm is to lose about 2 st in 8 weeks depending on how uch you have to lose - probably worth a go bt not very mse

anyone know were to find it cheap but an actual realiable place, i get scared of shopping on line with somewhere i have not heard of if you know what i mean.

Side effects

Generally, phentermine appears to be relatively well tolerated. It can produce side effects consistent with its catecholamine-releasing properties, e.g., tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure, but the incidence and magnitude of these appear to be less than with the amphetamines. Because phentermine acts through sympathomimetic pathways, the drug may increase blood pressure and heart rate. It may also cause palpitations, restlessness, and insomnia. Additionally, phentermine has the potential to cause psychological dependence.
More common

• Insomnia
• Hypertension
• Irritability
• Nervousness
• Euphoria
• Dry mouth
• Unpleasant taste
• Blurred vision
• Heartburn/Acid reflux
• Changes in libido
• Clumsiness
• Confusion
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Arrhythmia
• Nausea or vomiting
• Psychosis
• Skin rash or itching
• Stomach pain
• Fatigue
• Pupil dilation

Less common

• Convulsions (seizures)
• Dizziness
• Fever
• Hallucinations
• Hostility with urge to attack
• Irregular blood pressure
• Lightheadedness or fainting
• Periods of mania followed by period of depression
• Tremors, trembling or shaking
• Overactive reflexes
• Panic
• Restlessness
• Severe nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
• Stomach cramps
• Weakness

Oh and when you stop taking them, you'll put the weight back on.
Why not just be happy with your weight?

I wouldn't even try pills & potions, you will only be disappointed and out of pocket - and could even get sick. There is no such thing as a quick fix, if there was there wouldn't be the obesity epidemic we are experiencing.

I've done weightwatchers and lost two stone in a few months, it's been much easier than I ever thought it would be. I recommend doing that. It's cheaper and much much safer than taking 'pills' and if you can't find the motivation now, for your wedding, you have to question why you're bothering in the first place?

The Lloyds Pharmacy near me do the Celebrity Slim for £25 per week. They give NHS staff a 10% discount making it £22.50 [not sure if this is nationwide thou]. They also have the reward card which is nationwide - Every time you spent £5 you get a stamp, 12 stamps = £5 voucher.

I've on the Celebrity Slim diet and have lost 19 lbs in 4 weeks! AND I haven't cut alcohol out, probably drink a few too many vodkas during the week, but the pharmacist reckons this must be the secret ingredient to my diet :rotfl::rotfl:

Ive been taking Alli for 10 days now and have lost 3lb. Have done no exercise yet been too busy, but the kids are off now for 2 weeks and have told them we will be walking A LOT! Ive only had one little tiny accident at home, when I just scoffed with fatty foods cos I was bored and it was the weekend (?) It DEFINATELY makes you scared to eat too much !!!!, but in reality I could probably just do it on my own........

Mines for my wedding too, I would like to lose at least 2 stone before July!!!

Good luck!

ive been doing slimming world and ive managed to lose 11lbs on the new extra easy plan in three weeks.

have you thought about the cambridge diet, milkshakes, porridge, soups and bars not really my thing to be honest but 2 of my firends have done this diet recently and lost a hell of a lot of weight but its is quite hard going, its not unheard of the drop a stone in the first week or 2. it does seem to be one that when you start eating you can put it back on quite quickly but if its a quick fix your after it may be worth a shot.

if you have alook over on the health and beauty boards they have support threads for weightwatchers, slimming world, celebrity and cambridge to name a few, if i were you id pop over to have a look through the threads to see what may suit you. Good luck xxx

you can now get diet pills from the docs on prescription but i didnt like them as you dribble stinky oily fat (sorry nicest way i could put it) i beleive all fat emulsifiers that strong will do this. i am using soya lecithin from holland and barrett and i have lost 1 stone in 6 weeks and no side effects as they are herbal
