I'd like to share my in-depth experience with these pills and a glimpse on my profile as well. I'm a newbie here, so please help me if I need to be aware or warned of something about the Jap Hok Pills.
This is the first slimming pills I am serious in taking. I've tried slimming pills before and Orlistat but I wasn't too serious in taking them. But now, I need to shed off these pounds because I'm going to Bohol with my SO next week. Yipee!

PRESENT WEIGHT: 134 lbsNOTICEABLE PHYSICAL CHANGES: I really couldn't say because I don't have a tape measure available but I seem to have a flatter tummy and a rather bony face. Arms seem to have gotten smaller. Fiance said I seem to have gotten lighter because he can now carry me with ease.
I plan to finish the bottle, if my symptoms won't get worse. I'll try to eat more regularly this time. I'm afraid my not so desirable symptoms are due to my eating habits; I might be losing more than what I should be taking in and I know that's a big imbalance for my health. I'll stop the contraceptive pills in 2 days and won't take it again up until I empty the bottle of JH. I'll continue with the glutathione to help clear the rashes up. I certainly hope I'll get my period on time.
Will post updates in a week's time ladies. Good luck to us.
