Hmmm i started using slimlike

I have never tried that, but I hear it works, thing is im not too keen on medicines.
My friend tried out slimlike and its working great for her, she loves it. I have just ordered mine so ill let you know what happens.

They work!

I used to be 24 stone and with a bit of help from this <a ="http://www.drugdelivery.ca/">Canada Pharmacy</a> I managed to get down to 18 stone and i've never felt better. Seriously guys this is the best solution i've ever had. I've tried excersise, ive tried dieting (Atkins, No Eating, Zone) and nothing tops this. It's amazing!

Slimming pills

Dear All

I work for the BBC1 series; The One Show and we are currently making a film examining the use of slimming pills in Britain.

I note from this forum that some of you use these tablets and wondered whether any of you would be happy to speak to me about your experiences. I'm particularly keen to speak to those who source their tablets via the internet.

If you're able to help then please email me as soon as possible at charlotte.hopkins@bbc.co.uk, forwarding your contact details so we can discuss the film further and I can answer any questions you may have.

Many thanks,

Charlotte Hopkins

Slimming pills

I think they are some slimming pills that work and some that just don't work. Also some of the slimming pills can work on other people, but not on you. Here i've found a website containing info about some of the slimming pills on the market: http://www.slimmingreviews.com

Reductil's long-term effects

Hi there, I began taking sibutramine, the effective ingredient in reductil, four years ago in Chile when I was 39. It was available over the counter there as Hypogras, and I had about 45 pounds to lose.

I had a very good degree of success with the medication, losing 35 pounds over a four-month period. The experience wasn't entirely positive, however: I noticed the pills made me quite jittery and quick to snap at people, and that I could only sleep about five hours per night while taking them. I also had a feeling of dryness in my mouth and the illusion of a lump in my throat. But I figured the pay-off was worth having to be careful about what I said to people and having to drink more water than normal.

When I returned to the UK I ran out of the medication. Over another six-month period I gained all of the weight back. So I went to my physician here and had her prescribe me reductil in the 10 mg dose. I didn't notice any reduction in my appetite, only that I had the same moodiness factor I experienced on the Chilean form of the medication. So I asked my doctor to increase the dose to 15 mg, which was the amount I took in Chile.

But the medication just didn't work as well for me as it had the first time. I didn't want to eat a lot, but I found it actually increased my cravings for the foods I shouldn't have - in other words, I could eat very little, but I wanted to consume chocolate, fat and alcohol in greater quantities than I would normally have. It reduced my hunger overall, but made me crave foods with particularly strong flavors and higher fat content. I also had the impression that I wanted to smoke more while on the drug, something I have no interest in when not taking reductil.

I think that, by the third or fourth time I filled a prescription for reductil, it was actually causing me to gain weight. My metabolism was slower because I was eating very little, yet the calorie content of what I was eating was very high.

I gave Reductil one last try last month. It was about the sixth time I had gone off it and then asked for a new prescription. I was on holiday and did more exercise than usual, and ate less than I normally did. But I only lost three pounds over the course of the month, and this time I felt the weight loss was not worth the burden of having to censor what I said to people for fear that my irritability was not justifiable, and I don't need anything in my life that makes me want to smoke and drink more.

I've now signed up for Body Chef, which follows the advice given in the book Skinny B***h, and will deliver me all the food I need for the week. I'm hoping that this will get me out of the pattern of tiny meals with huge caloric content.

I wish you luck with your Reductil experience, and hope it isn't like mine.

Cheers,
Margaret

Banned slimming pills

Hello
I am a writer, researching a report into slimming pills that are not licensed in the UK, but are being taken by British women.
Please get in contact me if you have taken slimming pills that are not licensed here, and would be interested in talking about your experience.
Perhaps the pills worked for you and you lost weight, perhaps you experienced side effects/illness as a result of taking them.
A generous fee is available for suitable case studies.
If you'd like to find out more please email me on eimybabes@hotmail.com
Thanks

Thinz

thinz are amazing the actually work they completely remove my apetite.

however i read somewhere that they are being banned soon in south africa (where they come from - does any one else know abiut htis)

x

Thinz

they are being banned as they contains Amphetamines which come from the same family as Speed

Proactol

The only pill that actually worked by me and my friends is Proactol. I also found info about proactol discounts at http://proactol-discount.blogspot.com / and i will get my next pack at the end of this month.

Slimming pills - reductil

Hey there

My dad went on reductil tablets for his high cholesterol and it actually made his cholesterol go up, but they did make him lose weight, as it supresses the appetite. Good luck!

Does reductil contain stimulants as prescribed type?

Hi,

I steer away from Doctors medication if I can, basically, I find that they have a negative impact upon my system... I was looking at another forum recently where one woman was taking these and heart pains... She was only 27..

I like the ones that are 'fat dissolving' ... I have taken a look at eBay.co.uk recently and entering

"lipotropic weight loss cheapest" in the search

I found some that I tried before that are cheap...!

Sorry that I do not address your question about reductil... apart from to say be careful if they have stimulant qualities!

Thanks...

Hi

Hi, I bought reductil a few years ago and paid £90!! and they did not work for me at all. In my opinion slimming pills may work for some people and may not for others.

Good luck with them,

Reductil

Reductil doesn't work for me either but I tried thinz for 3 months and lost 2stone .
It suppressed my appetite and I had no cravings at all .
It did ,however make me a bit moody .

I've been off it for 2 years now and its only now that I'm starting to pick up weight and so I would like to get back on it but cant seem to find it anywhere .
There is a new thinz on the market that doesn't work at all ,looking for the real thing .

Anyone know where I can find that ???

Reductil and lipovox

Hi, I have tried reductil with no luck what-so-ever. I was on the 10mg tables (I didnt know at the time that there was also a 15mg) and persisted with the entire pack. I had every side effect possible...nausea, dizziness, no sleep, forgetfulness etc etc. Total waste of mopney ($125A). I must admit I did no exercise and no dieting at all whilst on them. However, having said that, I have a friend who has been on the 15mg and has lost at least a dress size and looks great. She said that there are no side effects with her. She also didnt exercise, nor diet. I didnt want to go back to try the 15mg reductil (cost and side effects alone were the key factors). Now I just started taking Lipovox (purchased on Ebay). This is day 3. My skin looks a bit better I must say, and I have no side effect as yet. My appetite seems a little bit less but I think its early days yet... Will report back after 10 days is up..cheers

Weight watches

I am searching the web and have come across lipovox- the only one that has caught my eye... it looks great but everytime I go to "confirm order" i chicken out!!
Have you heard of this pill- and what are the comments you have found- it seems every slimming product is 50/50 good/bad reviews.

However- i wrote to tell you about the weight watchers!! although i am only 18 and i wouldn't consider myslef overweight- i SWEAR BY weight watchers- i needed to budge a few lbs- and in 3 weeks I had lost 7lbs! it's great- i went with the "no count" plan- which means all your lean meats, veg, fruit, low fat yoghurts, low fat cheese is free of points (you van eat as much as you want from the "no count" list)
I would definatley recommend it- you don't even feel like your on a diet!!
write back soon if you know anything about lipovox,
and good luck with weight watchers if you fo it...

Reductil

I took reductil for one month. I had to stop as it was affecting my mood far to much. All day I was up and down. It may have helped me loose weight if I carried on taking it but I'm not sure.

Weightwatchers

just reading your message on slimming pills/weightwatchers - the girl i share my office with at work has lost over 42lbs on weightwatchers !
