    Diet Pills on exante ????

    Hi Kerry I would definitely not consider Diet pills, it could be really dangerous. The diet works well without them. Diet pills work by combining all the fats in your stomach, passing through your intestine without being absorbed. Whilst good for a calorie intake of 1500-2000, for VLCD All the...

    Remember all the way you've come and what you've lost. Its disappointing seeing +lbs but if you stick to it, in a week you'll have a large first week loss, think of it like that! One slip or a week of slips don't beat yourself up. You can't do anything about the past only the future :-) x

    How long did your weight loss start to show

    I find that at 3 stone lost, people really notice all of a sudden. Also some people might not want to say "have you lost weight" if they've noticed unless its dramatic as they question their own eyes and don't want to get it wrong and draw attention to your weight. This is what o have found...
