Well I am back into training and feeling more confident that I can reach my goals. I went back to my GP yesterday to vent my frustrations at how I am struggling to loose kgs (bearing in mind I had been on a 12 month plateu before now, and no matter what I did I couldnt stop yoyoing up and down a couple of kgs), and between us we have decided that now I have a better attitude to food, and am doing substantial regular excercise that it was time to try something else. So I have started on reductil, it has taken me a long time and a lot of research to decide to go down the diet pill route, so please no negative comments, I NEED to do this. I feel really confident now that by the end of this year I will be at least aother 15-20kgs lighter.

Thanks girls

Will PM measurements through andhey maybe we can keep going with a thread about this..life after the challenge lol

Ali - I hear you....Ive been in the same boat and I dont know why but this is workignfor me. Can I ask you what reductil is? Ive been on duromine in the past and hated it...it gave me the worst mood swings and i never lost any weight on it.

I had to laugh yesterday. Ive been buying ultraslim premade shakes at coles for the last few weeks andthoguht..woo hoo how cheap $2.99 fora six pack so have been buying up. GEt there yesterday and quiet obviously who ever has been stocking the shelves in the past stuffed up...its ment to be $2.99 for ONE drink not 6...hahahhahaha

Maz- Congrats on starting your weight loss journey, dont yia think it is kinda liberating to admit to yourself that you need to loose weight, and then do something about it. For the first time ever I am not daunted or depressed about the amount of weight I have to loose, I am excited that I have finally made a whole hearted commitment to do something about it.
As for reductil it is an appetite suppresent, in that it allows you to feel fuller quicker, thus reducing your food intake. It also works to keep your metabolic rate up as you loose weight. It does have some side affects (none of which I have experienced yet) but from everything I have read, they are no where near as severe as duromine. I am hoping for me it will allow me to a) stop obsessing about food, b) get my calorie controlled eating habits going and regular and c) help me to maintain a weight loosing metabolic rate, as this is where I usually fall down.

ALi I couldnt have wirtten you rfirst paqragraph any better myself. I think you just need to find that light bulb moment that allows you to go, thats it..no more fat suit!

Now im peeved at my doctor...ive gone to him in the past for help about my obesity and he offered duromine of a gastric band (no yet thanks). I declinded both and said ive gotta try this the natural way first. Im going to research abit on this reductil......i might end up getting somehelp then when I think Im platoing. And ALi its better to ask for help rather then try and try and get no were

he offered duromine of a gastric band (no yet thanks).* I declinded both and said ive gotta try this the natural way first.

imo - It's so much more satisfying to be able to lose the weight on your own than with intervention iykwim
