Hi all
Just wanted to say hello,im lisa,26yrs old mummy of 2 from scotland started on 10mg reds on wednesday 4th october so this is my 4th day,had a bit of a headache 1st couple of days but fine now.
im following ww points diet and doing my excercise on my treadmill every 2nd day.
Alot of you are doing so well,i just hope theyre working for me? i do feel hungry for my meals and sometimes in between,if i am i have a bit fruit im not fussed for chocolate and sweets anymore so they are certainly helping that way!
I would ideally like to lose 35-40kg
my bmi is 38.5
height is 180cm
all advice welcome lol...
Is ther much difference between 10mg and 15mg?
lisa

welcome lisa,
sounds like your onto a cracking start and i am sure you will start seeing the results very soon..
ive been on 10mg since may my gp wont give me 15's because i am losing with 10 yes its hard and some days i am far hungrier than others...no-one said it was gonna be an easy ride hehe
you stick to the 10's for now see how you get on i am sure if you stop losing your gp will increase to 15 if he/she see's fit
good luck keep us posted on your journey

Hi gengen
How much have u been losing a week roughly? i know everyones different but just wondered?
This is day5 on reds and the past few days ive been feeling so down in myself as im not noticing much diff in my weight its really depressing me and i know i aint doing myself any favours by going on the scales everyday but i feel im working hard and getting no where fast  .
I was upset this morning and my partner is taking the scales away and he said he will give me them on wednesday morning cause that will be a full week on reds.
And i dont know enough about them myself to know if they really working?
lisa x

surely if your feeling so hungry the 10mg cant be enough and maybe your needing 15mg?
I feel hungry between meals 2 but have a bit fruit to get me to next meal,they are suppose to help supress the hunger so im wondering if they are really working for me?
all advice welcome plz x

well the first 4 weeks lisa the weight dropped off me, but i have got a lot to lose i was averaging 5lb a week, now its obviously slowed down and other than falling off the wagon for 3 weeks cause of stress and everything else hehe i have maintained around 2lb a week which i do think is a more acceptable level to lose at its not just water i am losing now hehe
what you do need to remember lisa and i am sure any of the lassies here will tell you, it can take up to 4 weeks to get properly into your system reductil, my hungry days come just before my period and thats always been a time when i could stuff ma face for scotland and never feel full but overall the 10's i am ok on at the moment...you see its not a bad thing to feel hungry sweets, remember we cant stay on reductil forever at some point we have to train ourselves to eat the correct food and not to snack between meals and if we do make sure its good food we snack on fruit etc and not the buscuit or chocolate.

oh and lisa one thing i have learned from the gals on this site and its very true, if you start to feel hungry have a glass of water, give it a few mins and if then your still feeling hungry take a piece of fruit or something...you have to remember to drink enough water to sink the titanic to be honest hehe
give it time, the tablets are only just getting into your system...honestly you will see the difference in a week or 2 and you wont be thinking of food all the time

hi girls just a quick line i always like to say !
the weight did not go on over night so it wont come off over night either!...
these tablets aint a miricle drug and there not going to melt it off you, they take time and perserverance.. and are there to help you with a healthy balanced diet!
good luck all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

oh and period times are bleedin awfull lol... i still get that pigish feeling !!! nightmareeeeeeeee!!! lol
and remember ya can only have these tablets for 12 months,, then you have to have a break
and the 15mg are the highest dose,, so if ya get straight on them thats it ... no higher dose, and the side effects are more likley to be there on the higher dose!
kels xxxxxxxxxx
