    I've been on for 3 months and only lost a stone so I feel your pain. I was expecting so much from these tablets btu even though I'm eating healthily and exercising regularly I feel as though I could have lost this just by dieting alone and without all the oily mess!!

      Hi, I feel your pain, how depressing, but be positive, hey you have lost a stone - a whole stone - that's my dog ha ha. I have lost stone also and bemoaning that it's not enough, not quick enough etc so my husband picks my dog up (who weights 1 stone exactly) and holds her to my stomach saying "you've lost a Merry from here"! It always makes me chuckle because she's a fair weight. So think of it like that, you have lost a full stone. Well done and keep going. (p.s I think age has some bearing to how quickly we lose - I am mid 40's so despite being very good I am not losing as quickly as perhaps some younger people - it all slows down apparantly).

      Hi. You're correct about age. I'm 50 now and finding it much harder than it used to be. I'm also in peri menopause which isn't helping at all! I have been trying gabapentim to help with the hot flashes which works but a side effect is weight gain aaaarrrggh!! Getting old sucks!
