Absolutely useless!
Look around you if ANY of these things worked would we be getting so overweight?
We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don't do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don't use them up!
Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg.
Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?
I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!
No fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way.

First you have to realize that all hoodia gordonii diet pills do is suppress appetite. Despite the marketing hype and the exaggerated advertising claims you may have heard and seen, it does not burn fat, increase metabolism, or magically melt the weight away.
Hoodia diet pills work best for those people who tend to get hungry a lot and as a result tend to overeat. If this describes you, then hoodia supplements may work great. However, if you tend to overeat even when you are full or you have a terrible diet, then they will do absolutely nothing for you.
Now, regarding the specific tablets you are taking, I can't tell you how effective they'll be. What I can tell you is that the vast majority of the hoodia supplements available today are fake - meaning they contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii. In fact, one expert says the percentage of fake hoodia supplements could be as high as 80%!
The question is, are the hoodia tablets you are taking real? If they are not, then they will do absolutely nothing for you. You don't mention what brand you purchased so I can't help you out there. However, I have provided a link below to an article that highlights the 12 things to look for when you buy hoodia. You can use the criteria outlined in the article to determine if the brand you purchased is real.
Another thing you have to consider is that hoodia diet pills don't always work immediately. It can take as long as 2-3 weeks before they start effectively suppressing appetite. Also, it can take as much as 3,000mg of hoodia gordonii per day for them to work.
Finally, not everyone responds to hoodia. So even if you are taking adequate amounts of REAL hoodia gordonii for 2-3 weeks, there is still no guarantee they will effectively suppress your appetite.
Best of luck to you.

Yes they work...I took them for 2 months, You still do have to eat healthy though. You can't eat McDonald's and expect to lose the weight...I think that hoodia is mostly an appetite suppressant. And it was for that reason I took it. I was never hungry. So I ate like a mouse and didn't starve.
