| Hi, I started taking reductil yesterday, I am not feeling any side effects at all and am still feeling hungry in between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can anyone tell me how long the tablets take to kick in. Just bit worried that they are not working, can't seem to find out. Many thanks x |

| Hi everyone, I started taking reds yesterday. And I did experienced some headaches and also not feeling hungry. A little bit tired as well, but I guess it might be because its my first day. My starting weight is 67.59. I am hoping to go down to 59Kgs by the end of the four weeks. Its very motivational to read all your amazing stories. Keep them coming in people. Any tips, secrets or advise for me for those who have lost a lot of weight in only four weeks?? |

| Hi Everyone, just remember a loss is a loss no matter what the figure!!!! Keep up the good work! I guess the slower it happens the better it is as you are also training yourself slowly which hopefully means good habits will stick better!! :) |

| Hi everyone. Im also a newbie! I have been reading all of your inspirational posts for the past week... Finally plucked up the courage to go into my doctor to discuss my weight and he prescribed Reductil 10mg as i have about 50lbs to lose... So i started taking it on wed. Has anyone else experienced bad headaches? Im not sure if its related to the reductil or maybe just because im hungry and i dont recognise it but im hoping it settles down soon... Little dry mouth but apart from that im fine. I had lost 56lbs myself before i got married in july but put back up 12 lbs which was very disheartening so im really determined to shift the weight...and keep it off. Congratulations to everyone who has lost weight... looking forward to hearing more of your inspirational stories!! |

Hi Guys
I have now been on reductil for the full 4 weeks... had my last tab today... However my doc is on holidays and can't get another script until Wed.... So I am going to have to try and do things on my own for a few days... A lil concerned about that but figure it may not be a bad thing to do. I dont have any effects from Reds anymore so maybe a break is just what the body ordered.... I have lost 7.2kg in the 4 weeks so I am happy with that... and know it is totally due to laziness that I have not lost more... This is a fantastic journey we are all on and I will keep you posted with how I go without Reds... Damn Doc taking holidays. Good luck and well done to you all... Just remember everybody is different therefore we are all going to lose at a different rate. Be proud of your achievements... a lose is a lose and it is 100% better than a gain!!!!

| Wow!!! elisawitcomb@ymail.com your loss was fantastic. I have been on 10mg for 10 days now. I lost 1.8kg the first week, but so far this week I haven't lost any. Needless to say I am feeling pretty disappointed in myself. I know its my own fault, although I have been eating healthy I have not done any exercise. So thats my goal this week ..... to exercise. |

Hi SK224 & Lisa
I started Reductil 10mg on Tuesday (4 days ago) and woke up this morning with spotting even though Im not due. A bit worried so I got on the internet to see if this was a side effect.Im glad Im not the only one, and after reading what Lisa said, Im now not too worried. I have lost 1.5 kg's so far & am really excited. Dry mouth & wake up at about 3am...and now drink more water than alcohol...and thats a first! I had been excercising & trying to watch what I ate for the last 12 months, and getting no-where so, to me, Reductil is the best thing ever !!!!!

| thank you, i am really impressed with myself. i think the secret to my weight loss is the amount of exercise i have been including in with taking the reds. i make sure i go to the gym and work really hard when their at least 4 times a week as well as doing the school run and walking the dog. obviously its not all exercise as like i said i am generally quite active, the reds have really taking the edge of the cravings for rubbish food. i really dont feel the need to finish the kids food and i have halved my portion size. i tend to have a bannana in the morning as always in a hurry then for lunch i have been having soup or a bowl of cous cous then for tea i have a general meat and veg dinner but i make sure i dont overload the potatoes. when i get hungry in the evening i grab an apple. this is probably when i think of food the most and i have to use all my strength and will power not to eat. for anyone who is doubting the reds i would say that they are not a magical cure. you have to want to lose weight and work hard. i have founf plenty of days where i could have caved in however now i have seen the weightloss its def made me want to try even harder. the doctor said to me today that it was the best result that he has ever seen from these tablets and that the min he thinks my weightloss is really slowing he will put me up to the 15 but at the moment i feel fine on the 10's and clearly its something that really works for me. i just hope i can keep it up x |

hi, im new to this forum however i have been following the success on here. i have now been on reds 4 weeks and i have had very few side effects. the first 3 days i was thirsty and that was it. i have had my first check up with the doc today and i am on the 10mg and am pleased to say, i have lost 11kgs. i jumped on and off the scales 4 times as could not believe it. I have been going to the gym approx 4 times a week and playing netball twice however i have always been active
just could never control what was going in my mouth until now. i have a long way to go howver i just want to say that these tablets do work as long as you want them to and have a massive amount of will power with it . |

Congratulations Lisa! That's fantastic weight loss, and in two weeks!! Wow!
adamkelly - It is safe to take the pill whilst on Reds. Don't worry - I read the leaflet that came with it thoroughly LOL!! Didn't want to take any chances... |

with him we run and do weights, he goes to boxing twice a week...I am on reds he isn’t, he has lost 1 KG I have lost almost 5 oh and we eat more or less the same (I think he cheats) but it’s kind of fun doing it together. I am proving to him the reds do work as he was, maybe still is apprehensive but I so far am losing more. I know everyone doesn’t have a partner or friend but besides this site it’s really helping motivate me big time.
Someone posted re the pill, yes reds can have side effects and advise to use extra precaution, but everyone is different and I am not a doctor. I think if your monthly’s are off course its prob best to use something other than your pill, just to be on the safe side.
Keep up the good work ppl, and again well done xemx
sorry I wrote an essay without realising hehehe...WELL DONE LISA |

WOW
It’s been a few weeks since I have been on or should I say written anything and it’s amazing to see so many people posting, well done to those who have lost and good luck to those who are starting. I have been away on a little 5 day hol and during that time I decided to take a mini break from the reds...I am please to say I never put any weight on woop woop, I never lost much either but hey ho. I took my gym kit with me but sadly never made it, I will get back into it tomorrow. I ate well and I never felt hungry @ all even without taking the reds.
Any way up date, 6 weeks including 5 day break I have gone from 84.3kg to 79.6kg it doesn’t seem a lot but I am very happy and feel so much fitter muscle weights more than fat right!!! So I am assuming that fat is turning into muscle which is fine by me. I have some definition so I know it’s there, in my arms anyway, just waiting for my bingo wings to go boohoo I hate them the most and I have always had them, if only they go I will be happy for sure...
I see a few posts for meals....Try homemade soups for lunch/dinner, quick, easy and make mass to freeze, have chunky one’s as option for dinner and a blended on for lunch. Easy to carry to work, very cheap to make and just cut out the bad stuff if you get a recipes online ie use less/no butter/ no cream (it tastes just as good promise). Evenings I make a mass range of foods, chicken, fish, veg, curry (very little oil if any used) and still tasty, wraps/pitter instead of bread wholemeal of course, with chicken, veg, salad can be very filling...as appetite is not so great it’s easy to fill up quicker. The web is a great source for healthy recipe ideas just use uncle goggle or bbc food. Cut out the choc, crisps and MC Dees I have found that all too easy and have fruit instead. I would be happy to post or email some recipes if anyone is really stuck
I am now in competition with my husband, I am in the gym 4 days a week 1 hour to 1.30, 3 times with h ... |

Hi there
this is my first day of the tablets and so far no side effects ( give me time haha) but in answer to your question about spotting, I did read somewhere that is can interfere with you period, the article I was reading said it can make your periods late, so i suppose it can make you spot, but you can spot for any reason so it may or may not be the tablets, can anyone else tell me if they are safe to take with the pill? |

Hi all,
started Reductil 10mg yesterday and noticed this morning a bit of spotting - thought it was my period but it seems too early in the month for it to come.
Could this effect happen within 24h of taking reductil?
It is really helping me be in control of what I eat, but I am very worried about the side effects. |

Hi all
Jayjay
3kg is a good weight lose, if you keep that up that is 6kg in one month which is nearly 1 STONE in a month and I would be very happy with that, I no i will be the same, im starting my tabs tomorrow but have to stop myself thinking that they are a magic tablet |
