Weight loss pills& potions - HELP
Comments

2 stone.
In 65 days.
Just less than 7 weeks.
When I stick at a diet, in the first week, I can lose upto 8lb, if I am really motivated, and get off my backside and go walking or swimming.
It's easy to lose 2lb a week too with the same thinking.
So you could potentially lose around a stone and a half in that time, but you have GOT to want to do it.
Get some fat pics.
Get some slim pics.
Get pics of Waynetta slob if you have to.
Stick them on the fridge, cupboard door etc, and be good.
Think of you in your dress at all times and don't put any crap in your mouth!
You CAN do this! xx
P.S. PLEASE don't look towards pills!Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -
If you do pills and crazy diets you might be thin...but will feel crap and look awful (skin, hair etc) - imagine "anal leakage" (euuucch!) in your wedding dress!!!
Eat lots of salad and fruit and drink tons of water. Run as much as you can everyday....and buy a good corset!!0 -
Must say I'm in agreement with Nurse Franny
You don't know HOW you react to pills...the long list of possible side effects applies to virtually any drug and looks scarier than the reality usually is but you don't know. Many drugs even sold without prescription do have interactions with other drugs if you're taking any, or cause problems for certain people. And for many drugs the adverse events are worst in the first few weeks of dosing so you could make yourself feel ill in the run-up to your wedding. It's not very easy to focus on wedding plans when you're literally crapping yourself. Alli in particular is one to be wary of as there's been recent cases of counterfeit drugs which have a totally different active ingredient in and at a very high strength. You may need a lot of willpower and determination but you do have time to lose weight without resorting to drugs. And I'm not some right-on anti pill person - I work in the pharmaceutical industry - I just believe that medicines should be taken with proper medical 'supervision'. Good luck xx 0 -
Why do the words anal leakage make me shudder and laugh at the same time?
And anal leakage in a wedding dress OMG!0 -
its simply...eat less and exercise more and cut the crap, eat 5-7 small portions in a day and drink plenty of water (min 2 litres a day)0

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
are we getting married on th same day, have i read that right. oo how exciting. good luck with it all.
as for the Soya Lecithin, could you tell me a but more about it, price, when taken, if you have to do anything diffrent i.e. eat certain foods with it etc
Thank you
Thank you to all posters0 -
Thank you all very much for your comments and rants ha ha
i am very aware of the fact that pills etc are normally a waste of money, dont work and can hurt your body. Which is why i started this thread as i wanted to find out what actual people had taken and what they thought to them instead of asking Google etc and not really getting an honest answer.
i did go back to Slimming World and wasted more money being told i was still not loosing and just putting on.
i have breakfast of a bran based cerial everymorning before work, i then (when at work) have a healthy dinner (home made soup, or fruit salad etc) enough to fill me up, i snack on fruit at work and i dont take any money with me to work so i cant sneak out and buy anything else. i walk 2 miles to work and 2 miles back. it really is just the night times.
we are selling our house, fully renovating our new house and getting married all at the same time. my partner works in Wakefiled which is 2 hour driv each way at the least and bby the time he gets in from work and we do some rennotation work we really just cant be bothered to cook etc. we have 'propa' food in to make quick healthy meals but we dont.
Yes im lazy
Yes im sure i could do it if i really tried. But my head if full and i just cant seem to get there, to that spot you need to be to start
im moving in with my mum in May to loose weight as she will cook us Slimming World food so that will help then. its just April.
once again thank you for all your suggestions

hi monkeys bunny i am the same height and weight as you and have the same problems! my dress just about fits but i have the dreaded back cleavage so am going to start using the rowing machine!
for quick fixes, why not use lipottrim/celeb slim for one or two weeks, i think the difference on the scales will motivate you? i have this book, which i havent tried yet. but its by a health trainer who helps Katie Price stay slim, where you have to have shakes for every meal - but the shakes can be fruit, veg, so perfectly healthy! there a re a lot of ingredients to buy tho so could cost a lot!
then after the two week blast you could try and maintain and do the 2lb a week loss gradually?
i am starting the diet on monday, going to do exercise and limit calorie intake to 1200 - did it last month and lost 10lb in 2 weeks so could do with that again! my weddin dress hasnt been enough to motivate me yet but hen do abroad with size 6 friends hopefull will, is there anything you can picture that would force you to lose weight? think wedding dresses are so flattering and hold you in that they dont motivate enough lol!
best of luck and shall we report in every week with progress?!2011 biggies: £1000 holiday,£100 all saints voucher, £200 ticketmaster, Links London bracelet, Ted Baker watch, £50 Oliver Bonas
