Actually, I've lost weight on it so far. Also, as an anorexic (since I don't think you ever really recover from that...), don't you dare try to lose weight by taking laxatives! You'll literally kill yourself, and if you don't you'll abuse your system so much it will takes years upon years to straighten out your electrolytes etc.
Be smart! Talk to your doctor, watch your diet, exercise more, stand on your head for that matter - just don't do stupid things like laxatives to lose weight. They really are more harmful than anyone will tell you. (They helped shift me over to type II diabetes, as well as screwing up lots of other systems so that I now can never stop watching my diet - not great for an anorexic, and not a great way to live for anyone.)
