I think your being a bit impatient. You need to eat a low fat diet with the pills to make them work, not fat free. The pills wont work if you dont. Drink plenty of water and exercise if you can. Everybody reacts differently to the pills as you will see from the threads but dont force your body to have an effect (it really isnt something you want to happen).
I've been on them just over a week, lost 4 inches from my body and nearly 7 pounds. There will be weeks when you lose, and when you dont but hang in there. Most people on here have positive thoughts on the pills and we are all here to help.
Dont ever think you are alone in this :wink:

Nicky`s rite. All takes time (unfortunately... :lol: )
Hi KFC,
I am a bit like you, being impatient, but I guess we have to just be sensible and see. I was eating low fate before on weight watchers, so no major bones for me to carry on, just aware of neating enough fat, but I guess that comes with time and experince!
Good luck to you,
Rachel
