most slimming pills (especially internet-advertised) are shonky, except for those prescribed by a doctor. It would be better for you to see your gp if you are overweight so you can work out a programme. The gp's in my area can also refer you to gyms for a personalised programme at very reduced rates (£2 per time) it's called an exercise referral scheme. Yours probably do it too. Are you actively controlling hat you eat? If so Alli (buy from chemist or get on prescription) is meant to help you take off an extra pound for every 2 pound you take off yourself

thanks carabint and bednobs. i am 5ft 2inch and 10st 11Ib, i had a c section in 2007 and that got me depressed and i never really recovered, in additon to that i developed IBS and hypothyroidism. i think ihave had IBS a long time and have just been diagnosed. i just want to lose weight and fast, my partner calls me names for a laugh but they do get to me like fatty or fat git, hes toned and excersices regularly, but i dont know what excersices to do to lose my tummy weight and tone my arms up, i also have broad shoulders and a big bust, i hate it all. icant ask my partner coz he just laughs- i also have started eating more coz i have felt so down. just have no one to talk to

I think there are a few issues here.
Firstly you are not that much over weight, and your partner should be ashamed of himself calling you names.
3 years ago I weighed over 17 stone and was with my now ex husband who constantly called me names which made me want to eat even more !!
I joined slimming world and have never looked back !!
I am now at target, 9 stone, eat loads and am a size 8.
Slimming pills are not the answer.
I would recommend slimming world to anyone, you can fill up on pasta, jacket spuds and have chocolate etc in moderation.
the support from the group is fantastic and once you are at target, membership is free unless you go 3lb over or under. you just pay again till back at target.
I used to live in Rotherham and the best gym I found price wise was fitness first but I know that is mixed.
I find dancing round the room is good with my little boy lol !!!
Please look at slimming world cos I have never looked back and yes, sometimes I go off it and pig out, but always pick it back up and I love my body now and my life xx
Best wishes to you xx

Suzie, I know everyone is saying 'no pills, exercise' but I know how you feel, and it may help you to lose a little and gain some confidence before joining a slimming class or gym. I'm not going to tell you what is right or wrong for you personally, but in answer to your question Alli tablets really do work. Just watch your fat intake or it could get messy, and take them for about 3 months - any shorter and you won't see the benefit.

I find slimming world better as you are in control of how much you want to eat, how much you want to weigh.
I remember that first day I joined thinking everyone would think I was the fattest there, but it was really good and they never read your weight out or make you feel bad if you gain, you are just asked if you want any help.
Go for it !!!
