    Hello, Denise,

    That is fantastic. And great encouragement for the rest of us! Its all about how your clothes fit. My clothes are swimming on me, actually, so there is no point replacing them (yet), as I should be losing a lot more!

    In 6.5 wks I've lost 5\" off my tummy, and 4\" off my bottom, lost 2\" off my chest (around the back, and an inch off my boobs. I've lost around 20 lbs. This pill is a miracle, as I never was able to lose weight before!

    Keep up the good work!

    smile Vanna

    i wish my shape would hurry up and change, been on these about 10 weeks now, lost 1st 9lbs and haven't lost much in inches at all, maybe 1 inch on my waist at best and my face has thinned a little but as for bingo wings, ginormous bottom and thunder thighs they're standing their ground!!!

    I lost lots of inches in first 2 weeks and now inch loss has slowed down - i have put it down to more exercise as i feel that i bulk up when i exercise. Last weekend lots of hiking in Snowdonia - including walking up Snowdon and back down. Also did high ropes course. I'm feeling more confident each week.

    You weight is coming down so the inches will catch up soon.

    i hope so, i do 3-6 workouts a week and in just over a week i will be doing the NSPCC Can You Hack It hike around wales which we have been preparing for, maybe its the exercise thats hampered the inch loss so far, i'm sure it will catch up soon but it feels a bit rubish when you feel that someone is lookin at you thinking 'yeah right' when i say i have lost 1st 9lbs but they dont see any difference to my figure, when people turn and ask if i have lost weight because i look slimmer i will be happy smile

    I find I fluctuate on these tabs. One week i will lose loads, the next nothing. Shape has changed a bit but still basically the same so getting rather disheartened.

    Had a comfort eat binge today - loads of chocolate!!! But took a tab immediately after so may get punished later.

    It is my own fault. i know I have a tendancy to comfort eat so why the hell do I buy the stuff. I hit a bit of a panic moment so reached for the chockie. Didn't even make me feel better, just sick!
