I thought I posted last night, but clearly something went wrong.

If you NEED diet pills, your GP can prescribe them. Boots also do a scheme where they will give you pills. In both cases you have to meet certain conditions, and they will monitor you in case of unanticipated side effects. You will, in any case, have to watch what you eat.

If, on the other hand, you're hoping that there's some pill which will substitute for eating less and moving more, dream on!

There are various weight loss support threads around the boards - No More Pies, Slimming World, Weight Watchers. You might find one of them suits you.

For Gawd's sake, stay AWAY from diet pills. The Office of Fair Trading reckons that 200 000 people are scammed each year on fake weight loss products to the tune of £20 million (link below). There are many weight loss threads on MSE who can give you lots of support.

Diet pills can be really bad for you! They've been linked to heart mumors and serious intestinal damage!

The best thing to do is join up to something like weight watchers/slimming world and join a gym, or go running a couple times a week, or ride a bike to work?

Hi, and whilst I dont disagree with the sincerity of the answers so far, diet pills did work for me, specifically reductil.
The pill speeded up my metabolism and reduced my appetite allowing me to come down from 19 stone to 12 stone over a space of 1.5 years.
I am now 11.2 stone having kept the weight off for 2 further years and enjoy regular gym activities, healthy eating and abstention from my danger foods, ie. steak n ale pies, fish n chips, indian food and wine.
I am still enjoying chocolate, crisps and chinese food,but in great moderation.
The drug effectively enabled me to deal with the physcological problems that had prevented me from loosing weight for some 19 years, so that from age 20 until 39 I was sentenced by my own weaknesses and ignorance about bad foods to be grossly obese - it sucks, and the only way you will loose it is from within, I just needed a strong drug to help me !
Those people trying to be smart and suggest you join a gym and exercise more are generalising, not realising that obese people need support not a constant verbal kicking !
So see your GP, and provided your heart is up to it, under close medical supervision with regular blood pressure tests, give it a go.
Dont forget that it is potentially dangerous to take reductil, but 110 % dangerous to be obese and develop early diabetes/ cancer/ heart disease etc etc..
