No...laxatives are to help you, um, go. They won't help with weight loss.

They'll help you get diarrhea, and help you become dehydrated.

Dear me0oh0my,
Laxatives do NOT make you lose weight
Laxatives are not a way to control or lose weight. They do not remove food from your body before the calories are absorbed. The belief that laxatives are a way for losing weight is not true. It is simply a myth.
Laxatives remove a lot of water from your body, and this ‘water loss’ is often mistaken for ‘weight loss’. Your body not only loses a lot of water, which causes dehydration, it also loses essential minerals and electrolytes– and the mineral and electrolyte balance of your body gets upset. Electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium are essential for your body. An electrolyte imbalance in the body is harmful and can lead to muscle pain, spasms, fainting spells, irregular heartbeat, and in some cases even death.
Sue...good luck

they will only help you lose water/sh*t weight.
if you take them regularly your body will get used to them and you'll have to take more and more.
then you wont be able to go without using them.
not to mention the tummy cramps and being stuck indoors.
it's not pleasent.
