Hey guys I thought about writing a diary about my experiences with redusyn. Maybe this could be interesting for others who are not sure yet wheather to try a diet pill or not. I started with the intake of redusyn yesterday morning.

This is my second day. I took the pill as usual in the morning. Unfortunately I am having a horrible headache today but I don't think that this is a result of redusyn as I am used to have a headache.
Current weight: 263 lbs
Cherry
It is my third day on redusyn. Luckily I don't have a headache anymore and therefore I don't think that it was an effect of redusyn. Finally I have lost a little weight which is so great!
I ate quite normal during the last days but I tried to avoid any kind of sweets and I am planning to do a little work-out in the evening. Maybe something like pilates.
Current weight: 261 lbs

Hi cherry, how long did it take for you to get your redusyn??? I ordered some last weekend, then we can do this diary together, I just can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that they come soon sounds like you are really already doing good, Please keep me posted and I will keep you posted on how I am doing with them. biggrin.gif
Cherry
Hi MaggieMay I am glad that you like my diary. It would be great if you could also write some entries about your experiences in this thread so that we might share opinions, experiences and maybe even answer questions. I am really looking forward to it! It took about 10 days to get redusyn. So you should get it soon!
Cherry
This is the fourth day! And so far I really like redusyn. I haven't experienced any bad side effects and I am motivated to reach my perfect weight in summer. I usually take the pill in the morning while having breakfast. I am going to try aerobics tonight. I bought a video yesterday. Maybe this could even help me on my weight loss.
Current weight: 260,5 lbs
Cherry
I can't believe it. I have been taken redusyn for five days. Time passes by pretty fast. I have to say that I feel great and I am motivated to keep on losing weight. I am losing weight every day and last night I also did aerobics which was quite good.
Current weight: 259 lbs
Cherry
The sixth day! Almost a week! And I feel more active than I used to feel before and actually I am also not that hungry anymore. I used to have a ravenous appetite for sweets quite often -especially in front of the tv in the evening - but this feeling has gone completely. It is great!
Current weight: 257 lbs
Cherry
One week! Today I have been taken redusyn for seven days. And I really like this kind of diet pill. I feel great and motivated to reach my perfect weight in summer. And I feel that my self-confidence is rising too! I am going to do pilates in the evening!
Current weight: 255 lbs
Cherry
My eighth day on redusyn! I went out with my sister last night and we had a pretty good time. And somehow I think that my self-esteem isn't that low anymore. I even danced a little bit which I haven't done for ages; I used to be too afraid to disgrace myself. But last night was different. So far I am glad that I chose this diet pill.
Current weight: 253 lbs
Cherry
I just took my ninth redusyn pill. And I feel great. My mom stopped by and we had breakfast together. She asked if I had lost some weight. It was so great to hear that because I haven't told her that I am losing weight. But it seems like people may already see it!
Current weight: 252 lbs
MaggieMay
Hey Cherry GOOD GIRL!!!! I am starting tomorrow, because of my job I had to leave town for a week, and when I got home there were my redusyn, tomorrow is my first day WOW, I just can't wait, it is so cool to hear that you feel great, I hope the same goes for me, it also nice to do this with someone else!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!
Cherry
This is my 10th day. I just took redusyn while having breakfast. Today I am going to go shopping. We will see-maybe I have already dropped a size. So would be so great. I will let you know!
I really hope that you will like redusyn too! Tell me about your experiences! Good luck!
MaggieMay
Hi Cherry, started with my redusyn today. had a really good day, felt good about myself, the gal at worked offered me some cookies at coffee time and I refused, and it didn't even bother me that they were all inhaling their cookies, and I was happy with just my coffee. I hope that this keeps going on, will keep you posted.
Cherry
This is my 11th day! And I am so happy. I told you that I wanted to go shopping yesterday. I went to a store in a mall which isn't too far away from my place and I tried on shirts in a smaller size. This is unbelievable but I really dropped a size. What a wonderful day! My current weight is 250 lbs! Good luck MaggieMay!
Cherry
This is my 12th day. Unfortunately I feel horrible today. My stomach hurts but I assume that this is because of my period (I usually feel like this one the first day). Then it should be over by tomorrow. I will let you know. My current weight is still 250 lbs. So I haven't lost any weight since yesterday but this should be normal or what do you think?
MaggieMay
This is my 3rd day and I feel so Great!!!!! I really do not think about food all the time like I use to, tomorrow is the scale day and I will see if I lost any weight, I feel like I have, any way Cherry, Sorry to hear that you had a bad day, but with your period, you sorta bloat up the first 24 hours, it will be gone tomorrow, and I bet some weight will be gone too.
Cherry
Sorry for me horrible entry yesterday. Me mood is usually terrible on the first day of my period.
So this is my 13th day. It is unbelievable that I have been taken that pill already for such a long period of time. But I am so happy with it. My current weight is 249 lbs and this means that I have already lost 14 lbs and I am going to lose more ( at least I hope so biggrin.gif ) Perfect shape I am coming :-)
I am glad that you also like redusyn, MaggieMay! So how often do you weight yourself?
MaggieMay
Glad that you are OK now, I also feel bad when I have my period, WOW you are doing pretty darn good. I weighed myself today and 3 lbs. are gone, I think that I have to buy a new scale tho. I just have an old one from my folks. I am gonna weigh myself every 3 days. I feel soooo good at the moment, I hope it keeps up.
MaggieMay
Well, I got myself a new scale today (WOW the prices are high for a good one) but I needed it so what the heck. I am not gonna weight myself tho, not for 2 more days, I think it is better, how often do you do your weight in Cherry? Maybe it is better to do it every day? I am just afraid that if I do it every day, I will get depressed if I didn't lose any weight that day!!!!
MaggieMay
Hey Cherry, hope that you are doing OK, would really like to know how you are doing with your diet, I feel great today, took my dogs on a really long walk, maybe my one dog will lose some weight too, she could use it too. Tomorrow I will be jumping on my new scale, hope I like what I see.
Cherry
Yeah it is really important to have a very good scale. I took me quite a while to find a very good one because most of them are so different. What kind of scale did you buy?
I weigh myself every day although I don't think that you should do this. But I am just to curious and therefore I have to weight myself just after getting up every morning :-)
Cherry
I am sorry that it took me quite long to answer. I went to my sister's house yesterday and that is why I didn't have any time to go online.
Anyways I took the 15th redusyn pill this morning. And although I had a very good dinner last night and drank some wine at my sister's place I didn't gain any weight. This is so great. I mean I didn't lose any weight either but this subordinate when you eat as much as I did last night :-) So ho a you, MaggieMay?
MaggieMay
I am just doing great, I think you should not weight yourself every day, cuz one day you might not see any weight loss and then fall of the wagon, and it is really OK to have a glass of wine or some goodies once in a while, you can give yourself a treat, I am not going to give up eating ice cream in the summer, but just not as much as I did before. Keep up the good work.
Cherry
It is my 17th day. I hve only 11 pills left and therefore I have to decide wheather I should order another package of redusyn or not. Actually I am very satisfied and therefore I think I should order one more- the last - package. What do you think?
Yes that is right. During the past two weeks I thought about me whole life and I tried to change my eating habits too. I have found out that you are allowed to cheat from time to time but you need to learn how to eat consciously.
Cherry
This is the 18th day on redusyn. Unfortunately I don't feel very good today. I have a cold attended with fever. So I decided to stay in bed today.My luckily I have got my laptop and therefore I am still able to keep on writing my diary. Hopefully I will feel better again tomorrow. I even forgot to weigh :-( Well probably this doesn't matter too much as I don't think that I have lost any weight since yesterday!
MaggieMay
Sorry to hear you are ill, take care of yourself, and remember to take care of yourself, I decided to wait and weight myself tomorrow, I decided to do this for 3 months (but not more) if I don't lose enough in the 28 days, then I will go for 3 months, it is now or never. Get better soon.
Cherry
Unfortunately I am still ill. I feel horrible. But I almost sure that this is not a consequence of redusyn. I might go and see a doctor later because I hate to be in bed all day. Nevertheless I just took the 19th pill. But I am not going to weigh myself today. My weight would be falsified anyways because I am lying in bed and eating almost nothing :-( Hopefully you will have lost some weight, MaggieMay!
MaggieMay
Well I just LOVE my new scale, I have lost 12 lbs without any effort, I feel like a new person, and it is not even hard to change your eating habits with redusyn, sorta goes by itsself. You should go to the Doc. and don't get depressed, everyone gets sick once in a while. You will be better soon!!!!!!!!!
Cherry
Yeah I know but nevertheless it is really frustrating. You know I ws so motivated to exercise a lot and to cook healthy food. But right now I am doing nothing but watching tv, reading a book and I am eating almost nothing. And I know that I have to eat if I want to lose weight :-( I guess I really have to go to a doctor tomorrow :-(
MaggieMay
Yes Please go to the Doc. you do have to eat tho. best thing is good ole chicken soup, with vegies in it. Don't worry about your diet right now, you can continue it when you are feeling better, it is no use to try and lose weight when you are sick, it would take you longer to get better if you stick to a diet. Take care of your body first.
Cherry
I just woke up. Quite early I know. But I feel even worse that yesterday. The first thing I am going to do today is go and see a doctor. Hopefully she could give me some drugs against that stupid pills. I am also going to ask her if there might be a connection between redusyn and my illness although I don't really think so. But we never know. I haven't taken a pill yet but I might take it later after the doctor's appointment.
Cherry
I went to the doctor yesterday in the morning. She told me that I have the flu! Not just a normal cold. I really hate that because that means to stay at home even longer. I asked her if there was a connection between redusyn and my illness. She said no, but she said that it would be better to do without the pills while I am ill. She added that it might be possible that the weight loss pill and the drugs she have me cause negative effects. Of course I don't want this. Guess I have to stop the weight loss for about a week :-(
MaggieMay
Sorry to hear that you have the flu, I just hate it when I am sick, Hope that you get better soon, forget about loising weight right now, get better first, I am still taking my redusyn and doing good (hate to tell you this while you are sick) I lost 1 1/2 lbs again, so this seems to be working, Hope you get better real soon.
Cherry
Yes I know but that really sucks. (Sorry for saying things like this but this is how I feel right now) I was so motivated to lose weight and now this stupid flu intervenes. But I guess there is nothing I could do about. I have to make the best of it. Hopefully I will feel better soon!
But I am glad that at least you keep on losing weight!
MaggieMay
I am not gonna weight myself today, thought I could skip it today, feel great (sorry that you are still sick Cherry) but I bet that next week you will be up and around and losing weight. Keep eating while you are sick, but stuff with lots of vits. in it so that you get better soon.
Cherry
Luckily I feel a little better today. I already got up to have some breakfast-well just an apple and a glas of orange juice (lots of vits :-)) but this is almost more that I ate during the past days :-( But instead of the redusyn pill I took the drugs of my doctor :-(
MaggieMay
Well today was scale day, and I have lost 16 lbs. I feel so good right now, glad that you are getting better, then you can start again, the flu has really been going around this year, had it last Nov, for like 2 weeks. I hated it. Try to keep eating healthy stuff, you will get better sooner, it does help, since I have been taking redusyn, I have also been taking a multi vit. just incase I don't get enough thru my food.
Cherry
I think I have broken the back of the stupid flu. I am feeling much better and I even got up yesterday (to prepare that yummy smoothie :-)) and I am going to go for a walk later to take the fresh air.
16 lbs! That is amazing! So how long have you been taken redusyn now?
MaggieMay
This is my 13th day, and I just can't tell you how good I feel, like a new person!!! As far as I can tell Redusyn has really done me good, I have not noticed any side effects, the weight is dropping off, what more do I want. Glad that you are doing better, soon you can start again.
Cherry
I am glad that you like redusyn. I am feeling much better but I still have to take the drugs which my doctor gave me. But I am going to see her again tomorrow just to ask when I will be able to start taking the weight loss pills again. Maybe even tomorrow night. I can't wait to lose weight again.
Cherry
Hi everybody. I feel very good again. I am going to go to see my doctor later but I am almost sure that I may restart taking redusyn tonight or tomorrow morning. By the way I just weighed myself. You know what-I have lost 2 lbs while being ill!!! But I guess that this is because I didn't eat very much during the past days!
MaggieMay
Glad that you are finally better, and lost weight too, but make sure that your Doc. says you can start with redusyn again. You don't want to get sick again. Your imune system is still down, you have to build it up again, so take lots of vits. right now.
Cherry
Yes you might be right. I also haven't taken another redusyn pill yet. I will wait until I have seen the doctor. I will let you know what she says! Okay thanks for the idea. I am going to go Publix later on anyways and I am going to buy some fresh fruit to built up my imune system again!
Cherry
The appointment was great. My doctor said that it will be okay to restart taking the redusyn pills. I am going to take the pill while having breakfast later! Nevertheless I bought lots of fruit yesterday afternoon-I bought some apples and a pineapple. I just love these fruits! So how are you doing?
MaggieMay
That is great that you are up and around again, I just love fruits now, never did so much before, I am still losing, lost now 15 lbs since I have started taking redusyn, I think I might do this for 3 months, or do you think that is too long to take a diet pill??
Cherry
Me neither. I never thought that fruit could be so tasty. Which is your favorite piece of fruit? So it seems like you are also very satisfied with redusyn, aren't you? Well I think that three months is a very long time. Maybe you won't need more that two months. But I guess you have still some time to think about this, right?
Cherry
I am back again :-) I took another redusyn pill yesterday while having breakfast and I am going to take the next one later. But not now-I just woke up in the middle of the night. I tried to read a little bit in hope that I would fall asleep again but forget it. That's why I decided to get up and to surf through the internet a little bit :-)
MaggieMay
Fruits are great, never thought that before, I usually walked right by them in the store on my way to the candy section, but now I spend alot of time in the fruit and vegie section. I wonder if redusyn has something to do with this??? Ha Ha I like Mangos and grapes alot, I eat them at least once a day. At night I cut different melons into little balls, mix them together and eat them while reading or watching the tube.
Cherry
This is the third day on my second start. I am feeling pretty good and I have already lost 1 lb again. I really hope that it is not just water. But probably it is or what do you think? Yeah me too. But I don' think that this is an effect of redusyn. I think we are just learning that healthy food might be tasty too :-)
MaggieMay
I don't think that you are losing water anymore, I am glad that you are better now, I just ahte being sick. Are you also taking a multi-vit. with your redusyn?? My doctor said it wouldn't be a bad idea, I just take a regular one. Can't hurt. I think that you are right about learning that healthy food is tasty, before I was too busy deciding which chips to buy instead of looking at fruit.
