    why does everyone say drink lots of water? is it just because it's good for you or has it something to do with these puills/diet particularly?

    Hi MelodySnuggler

    Many people seem to have headaches when they first start the tabs and drinking more, water especially, helps to allieviate them. Also it's supposed to aid weight loss, combat water retention AND help your poo move through your bowel faster :!: I KNOW :!: GOOD STUFF eh? Don't ask me how it all works, its just a little miracle :lol:

    TTFN Kal :wink:

    Hi

    I just wanted to stop off here for a little moment, i to am new here, i have been taking the blues for 4weeks not saw any weight loss on the scales however keep getting told i have lost weight from the back.wooohooo

    i am staying positive, still having the oil spells a few near misses.lol but fingers crossed, i have logged in here for about a week now and the people seem very supportive.

    I have never been on any chat rooms or sites so this is also new to me.

    Keep taking the blues and hopefully after the 4 weeks you may see something happening
