| Yes, 8kg in one month. But I worked hard and ate very healthy. Its slowing down alot more now.. probably half a kilo to 1 kilo a week. But the slower it comes off.. the longer it will stay off :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi everyone.... Today is Day 1 for me... So far so good... no dry mouth as yet no headaches as yet.... Really love reading everyones posts... Could only hope for the same results as some of you are achieving... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sorry i meant 8 kilos in a month? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hiya ppl Well I am into my 3rd week and I am pleased to report almost 3kg lost woopwoop. I have been going to the gym as much as I feel like it....some days I feel like I have no energy and other days I'm full of it. I'm doing a 30 min run and weights, and trying to do 2 classes a week ( I have managed 1 only this week so far). No real side effects dry mouth but not always and still mostly in the evenings. I have felt more tired this week, but thats cause I dont sleep well, I can't blame the reds too much for this as I had this issues months before I started. Food I am trying to eat healthy but I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times but not to excess, my food intake is minimal when I do eat. Any way I belive a treat s nice from time to time at least its not a daily thing. Water consuption has gone up along with my fruit intake so all good me thinks. Roll on friday when I weigh myself again. Its just so exciting, only 15 more kg to go ;-p |

| hi there, i have a fair bit to loose...like 50kg started on red 3 days ago, side affects are dry mouth, light headed but only around 6pm for a few hours, just wondering if anyone else is feeling the same. i have such a long way to go but i am determined that i will stick with this. it is my last hope, i desperatly want a baby and loosing weight and starting IVF is the only way. i have pcos and so loosing weight on my own is incredibly hard, this is not an excuse. i just need some help and feel reds will hopefully do this.

| Its up to you... you can not excercise at all... but your weighloss will be really slow. The more you excercise the faster it goes! For the first few weeks just take it really easy because your starting on the higher dose. Only eat when your hungry and not because its 'time' to eat. Try and eat as healthy as possible, lots of fruit and veg because you wont eat much in the first week and you need to make sure you get lots of vitamins. Once the weight starts falling off you will begin to get excited and motivated to excercise because youll see that its working. I was 15kg overweight and Ive lost 8kg so far and Ive been on the low dose for only a month. Aim for a kilo a week and resist temptation (chocolate and fatty foods) after the first week you wont even think about it anymore! Its easy! P.S Take your capsule first thing in the morning with a glass of water.. it helps with the insomnia! |

| I hav just been prescribed reductil today 15mg.I am about 10 kilos overweight,am wondering how much exercise everyone does whilst using reductil? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Holy heck! After reading everyone else's weight loss results, mine seem pathetic! I may leave work now, and run (20 kms) home - ha ha | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh, and regarding insomnia.... I could hardly sleep on day one, but I had taken my first tablet in the afternoon. Now I take them early morning, and sleep like a baby *yawn* | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi - I am on day 11 of reductil (10 mg) and have only lost 1 kg so far. I did head away on holiday for the first 7 days, so this maybe wasn't the ideal time to start. I arrived back from holiday, dumped the cases, and leapt on the scales. Was gutted to have only lost 100 grams!! But I have lost 900 grams in past 4 days, now that I am back to my regular routine. Phew! If any of you are having problems with constipation, I can strongly recommend 'Alpine tea' - available from most supermarkets. I take 2 cups a day, steeped for 20 mins, but I have suffered from constipation for years, so one cup steeped for 10 mins would be a more suitable remedy for most. Good luck :O) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi,I am new here and was wondering what people thought of Reductil? I am on the 10mg and have been for the last 6 days. I have lost about 1 kilo so far and from what I am reading it is not really all that much? I weigh 78.5 kgs and am 152cm tall (should I say short) :). I have started taking these due the fact that when I had a Glucose Tolerance test my levels were 8.5 and normal is up to 7.7. Doctor says I am not diabetic yet but have to lose weight and exercise... Surprise surprise... Anyone else in the same boat? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi kimberleym2105, I'm still much too heavy for my height but my doc says he'll be happy if I lose another half a stone to a stone. I'm actually 12 stone and 5ft 1 so I'm two stone overweight. I'll be happy at 10 stone. I've had Fybogel sachets which help with the poo side of things but I agree with you, it could just be that hardly anything is going in at one end so hardly anything will come out of the other end lol :O) |

| It's now been almost a year since I first endeavored to lose weight. I have lost 10kgs! My BMI is now 22 and I'm considered a very healthy weight! Reductil kick-started my weightloss, but BE CAREFUL! It has awful side effects and I could only handle it for 2 weeks. Also... do it slowly. This sounds sucky but now I eat properly, not like a fatty. If you just take reductil it doesn't teach you how to eat. You need to start eating more fruit and veg, not starving yourself. If things like reductil really worked, people wouldn't put the weight straight back on... Take it slow and use it as a tool to break your cravings and bad habits. But MAKE THE CHANGE! If you go back to eating McDonald's then you'll just get fat again. I will keep this weight off because I don't eat bad food anymore (only as a real treat) and I exercise and I eat plenty of healthy foods and don't starve myself. If a diet is maintainable it is not a diet it is a lifestyle. Choose to be fit and healthy. |

| Hello All... Been a while since i last posted... I've been on Reductil for 4 weeks now and have lost 17 kilos =) I'm finally moving on with my life. I'm so happy atm! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hahah I have that problem too banjosgirl!! Your not alone.. except I cant tell if I'm not going much because of the tabs or because there isnt much too ... ugh... come out! hehehe! Ive just been taking a natural 'softener' every few days to help things along! Are you not losing much because you dont have much to lose maybe? |

| I've been on the Reds for two months I think now and seem to lose weight more slowly than anyone else. I'm not bothered because I am losing. I've lost about 21 pounds in total and my doctor was really pleased with me. I just hope that he still prescribes them next month as I don't know if I can carry on losing without them. I hardly eat anything now, and gave up alcohol almost immediately. I do have a little bit of insomnia but I always woke up before I started on the Reds anyway so its hard to tell whether they are part of the cause. My only problem is embarrassing and that's constipation! I've not had that since I was a kid and I'm sure its the lack of fibre and food, and the Reds. I must address this soon coz I don't want to end up with problems. Anyway keep up the focus everyone coz I still feel that these little pills are the best thing to come out to help us problem dieters!! |

| The side effects of Reductil vary between each person. If your finding the medication too strong it should only feel that 'space cadet' feeling for the first week. If your taking the 15mg (reds) maybe reduce to the 10mg (Blues). If your already taking the 10mg and feeling that yucky speedy feeling maybe try taking it every second day and slowly introduce it to your body. Taking it as soon as you wake up helps with the insomnia. Reductil is only a short acting drug and leaves your system within 48 hours. I NEVER take any medication.. not even Panadol. Reductil is the only medication Ive ever tried so my body isnt used to processing chemicals as I dont drink or smoke either. I found the 10mg really speedy and spacey for the first week. Eventually my body got used to it. The best thing to so is firstly, dont panic because that makes it worse and secondly, if your feeling that racey feeling, slow down, dont excercise and just work through it until it passes. If its unbearable.. then dont take it. Happiness is the most important thing. By the way.. almost been a month and have lost 7.5kg!! BMI is now 26.5!! YEAH! only 12kg to go! |

| I see everyone posting great things and yes it does work but the side effects are awful. I feel like a complete space cadet, no sleep and so depressed. This not worth weight loss is it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| asarb21 - Well done for such a fantastic weight loss firstly. Secondly i dont think its the Reds that would of coursed this, it is more likely the raipid weight loss itself, a lot of people get gallstones also as a result of rapid weight loss too, maybe its time to slow down the rate at which you lose weight now, size 14 is very resectful, curvy and sexy :) thats my target. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| first weight in for me today too, 1 stone also. wooooooooooohoooooooooooo ooooo |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| well first weigh in today after 26 days of reds 10 mg and ive lost 1 stone 1 pound . am delighted and been smiling all day :-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I've been on reds for 5 months. delighted with results and can cope with lack of sleep as I seem alert most of the time. BMI now 31,(was 39) and dropped from a 20 to a size 14. But suddenly got severe gastric pains and admitted to hospital with acute pancreatitis. Was there 8 days,antbiotice,intraveno us drip,no food till things settled. Numerous tests. No cause but symptoms now settled. Dont know if reds are culprit and so unwilling to start them up again in case pancreatitis flares up once more. Anyone know if red are guilty? |

| I am now on day 13. I had been taking the 15mg, (lost 5lbs so far)which were working really well to curb my appetite. I was feeling really spaced out and had noticed I was getting really dilated pupils. I stopped taking them over the weekend, and have reordered the 10mg. These seem to be better, as Im not getting so spaced out :) Ill keep you updated. Ive also joined weight watchers online so I can track what im eating to make sure im not still over doing it on the cals. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "21lbs in two months though" Thats not a "though" statement thats fantastic well done :) I went this morning, lost 9lbs 4kg Whoooo and i got my period today so thats another pound. They gave me another month :) |
