Did you try flax seeds, psyllium husks and wheat bran first? Or a stool softener?

Better to increase your fiber rather than use a laxative. Your local chemist will have fibre supplements available without any prescription I am sure. It is much healthier than a laxative.

Laxatives are very habit forming. Once you start taking them, your body becomes dependent on the laxative very quickly in order to move your bowels. They are dangerous to someone your age. You need to use a stool softener if you are already constipated. Then, you need to up your veggies and take flax or psyllium husks with lots of water until you become regular. Start easy on the flax or psyllium husk and take a little more each day.

 Also, for someone who is 5'4", 110 lbs (50 kg) might be quite an ambitious goal. I don't say it's not possible to get there, but it might be difficult to do it and maintain without some drastic (read, unhealthy) dietary habits.

I agree with Georgiana. Move on to OWL. The added vegetables will help prevent this problem and might even spur more weight loss. It definitely does not slow it down.
