Is there anything else I can be doing to drop weight quickly?

I'm kick-starting my weight loss resolution early, and I'd appreciate any tips or good quick weight-loss diets anyone has. Right now, I'm starting my day off with a piece of whole wheat toast and a lean meat, a multi vitamin, a Stacker 3 diet pill, 2 laxatives, and a quick workout routine. I'm eating around 1200-1500 calories a day, and drinking only water and hot tea. Also, I know laxatives aren't for weight loss, the pain and mild sickness I get makes me more motivated. So, any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Update:

I'm not going to stop taking the laxatives. I'm only taking the pills through January 31st. After that, it's all strictly diet and exercise. I've stopped cooking fatty meals, so sticking to a balanced diet won't be hard to stick to.

    From my experience of losing weight, the most important thing is to pay attention to your body and how it responds to your eating and exercise habits. Then you can adjust things and find out what works best for you. But here are some general tips that work for everyone regardless of fitness goals or body type. They’re weight loss basics and anyone trying to loose weight should have them well-established:

    - Drink plenty of water throughout the whole day. Make sure to start your day with a glass of water and drink a glass before and during meals.

    - Stay away from sweetened bottled drinks. Also, try to eat fresh fruits instead of drinking fruit juice.

    - Increase your fiber intake as well as proteins and vegetables. The more of your total calories that you get from these, the faster you will put off weight.

    - Stay away from fried things, junk food, and simple carbohydrates. This includes white bread, white rice, pasta, potatoes, sugar, etc.. And try to also get healthy fats, they actually help you loose weight. Eat things like almonds, avocado, olive oil moderately and stack up on beans.

    If you follow the above tips, you will loose about one pound of fat a week. If you wanna speed up the process (up to 3 pounds of fat a week) and maybe even tone up your muscles, add 30 mins of totally body workout or cardio 3 – 4 times a week. Search on youtube a total body workout that can be done at home and try a few until you find one good for your level of fitness. (for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYNpJNLsNGk )

    Your diets gonna fail. You're Probably telling yourself, that you won't let it. It wont. Ever. And for months or maybe years, it wont. You'll know what i mean. If you have a social life, diets are not good. You will fail.

    Eat as healthily as you can and have about 1400 calories a day. When you're out with friends, treat yourself to something small if you need.
