Hi everyone,
After reading through these messages, it seems like people have had a lot of success with reductil. I am curious though how much is the reductil and how much is the fact that you are simultaenously dieting/exercise? Has anyone lost weight without cutting down to extreme calories? If someone maintains a 1500-2000 calorie diet and exercise 3 times per week will they see the same results as everyone else? |

Hi guys
I too have been having a few issues... I lost 7.2kg with ease, however I have not lost anymore. I did have to go off them for 6 days (as my doc was on holidays) but I have been back on them almost a week now and have had no weight lose... so for 2 weeks I have sat EXACTLY the same... Frustrating... BUT I had to go buy some jeans yesterday as I stupidly jumped a fence in mine and ripped them and I bought same brand same style same style got them home and should have bought a size smaller... so maybe that is it... I am not losing kg but maybe losing cm's.... I just shouldn't weigh myself maybe....
It is a lil frustrating but.... So Kimberley I am feeling ya sweetie... but you got 3 kg's on me and less too lose I am sure... I still have about 20kg to go!!!!!! |

hi everyone, its great to read everyone's posts we are all doing so well! well tomorrow is the end of my first month! its gone so fast.The doctor told me he wanted to see me lose 1-2 kilos this month,ive lost 5 kilos(according to my wii fit and chemist scales) but i still wont believe its that much until the doctor weighes me! its not that its such a massive loss that its hard to believe but really because it's felt to easy! i usually battle myself every day on a diet with no reductil to stay away from unhealthy food and this past month has been a breeze!
So im sure the doctor will give me a second month of tablets....wont he? i keep getting worried that he might say well done...you can do the rest all by yourself now and im not sure if im quite ready for that yet! oh yea, that weight i lost has taken me out of three digit weight to two digits!! im over the moon im back in the 90's...104.7 was my starting weight and that scared me....thats the heaviest ive ever been! anyway....i hope you all have a great day/night!

Hi Kimberleym2105
Two things I want to mention, first please do not double the dose, that is one thiing my doctor told me not to do he said it was dangerous, the max dose you can get is 15mg so if you take 2 x10mg your taken to much, it will set your heart racing... the other one is, how much more do you need to lose? are you close to your target, maybe your body is saying righ, this is the weight for me?... also are you eating enough? if you dont your body will think its starving and wont let you lose any more weigh, it will store what you have incase it doesn get enough... so maybe try eat more, I no that sounds funny but years of weight watchers have told me that you wont lose weigh if you dont eat!!
If all else fails come off the reds for a week and re-introduce them back and see if that works.. |

Hi Guys,
Im STUCK!! Ive lost 10 kilos and I cant seem to lose anymore!! Ive icreased excercise and trying to watch what i eat. The 10mg dont really feel like they are working so im not sure if its that or that my weight has platued?
Anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? If I dont drop anything within the next two weeks I might go back to the doc and see if she will give me the reds.
Has anyone tried taking 2x 10mg? Ive researched all the medical data but there is no record of whether this is ok or not. Because its not recorded Im thinking its bad so of course wont do it until I have some reliable info!
Fingers crossed it the weight keeps moving! I dont want it to stop now!! |

Hi shadow
Yes im on reds 10mg, been on them for 10 days and yes im finding it hard but im trying to be strong, i also have an underactive throid which stops me losing weight also, so am on 200mg a day of throid tablets...
It is hard to stop haven the stuff you like, but I suppose you cant be good all the time or we will fall off the healthy eating wagon, im going to allow myself a treat once a week, nothing major maybe a ww bar or a healthy-ish take away that way I dont feel deprived all the time and will stay stong mid-week.. the weekend is hardest for me too, |

Hi Josy,
Congrats on your 2kg loss and I am more than sure that you will reach your goal in no time as you don't have much of a far journey to travel. I will keep you posted on a weekly basis. I just hope that the last 2wks will be as disciplined as these 2wks and definitely hope that my days off are a little less indulging-everything in moderation =P |

Hello Adam!
thnx for your input; I completely agree!
Weighing in on a daily basis is a bit over the top-mentally speaking. I was just amazed at how the elimination of "bad" indulgences can really have an impact on ones weight. I had gone to the doctors today and I have officially lost 9kg in a space of 2wks-WOOHOO!! but I must admit, on my 2 days off from work, I feel vulnerable...Sunday, I was at a birthday party and I gave in to temptation and indulged in 3 pieces of cake...today, all was going well up until the time I sat and watched a movie during which time I indulged in a packet of Weight Watchers Tartlets- I had no control!! can't wait to go back to work tomorrow and burn it all off. I hope time will teach me to control these urges.
So tell me a bit about yourself- are u on the same mind-altering drug? is it working for you? |

Hi tha_shadow66
Well to the board.
Try and weight only once a week, its hard I no but you get a better result if once a week and you will be more motivated that way, good luck with your weigh loss |

Hi everyone
sorry been off board since thur, no pc at home so have to wait till I came to work, the weather been horrible here in Ireland ( wed and thur) so it was hard not just to sit in and eat my way through the fridge but im got my bum up off the sofa and went to the gym, think the hardest is actually getting there once im there its grand, anyway I did say that i was going to wait untill the 15th to weigh in but i caved!! ha ha no will power anyway I glad to say that i have lost 3.5kg in 10 days, cant belive it im so so happy and iv been so good and careful, just goes to show you when ya eat healthy and excerise it does work, the only think is I have been crippled with headaches for the past five days, really bad and feeling a bit dizzy as well, side effects for the tablets I think, going to give them another week to try and settle down if not I will have to go back to see my doctor, but im going to try and drink more water and see if that helps,
Hope everyone had a good weekend.. let me know how you are all doing,
Adamkelly |

| Hi I have been on Reductil for a month and a half and I went for my check up at the month mark and had lost 4kg which I think is great as I have also been very sick and my husband had to cook for a couple of weeks and his cooking is not healthy so I am glad to be well now so I can get back to healthy eating and back into excercising at curves 5 days a week. For the people who say that they gain there weight back once they stopped taking them well you obviously didnt change your diet and excercise as the tablets are not a miracle pill they are a stepping stone but you have to be prepared to do the work and change your eating habits and excercise often. |

| Good idea, then if we have any help to get over "the hump" at any stage we could share it. Am finding Lady Grey tea/Lemon & Echinacea/Lemon detox teas the most refreshing. And can fill up on a banana and a probiotic drink, when I feel a bit light |
