laxatives will only make you lose what will eventually come out anyway and the best ones are glycerin suppositories.
you can lose weight only if create just a slight deficit in daily caloric intake because a big one (starving/depriving yourself) will only make you lose water weight and muscle not fat and slow down your metabolism not even talking about the fact that you will gain all or more back.
make healthy food choices, eat 5-6 small meals a day, 5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day, lots of protein, healthy fats and complex carbs.
do cardio which is the only fat burning exercise 4-6 times a week for average of 45min and some light weight training a few times a week.

Your future.
You couldn't lose anywhere nearrrrr 40 pounds ever with all the X-Lax in Canada. Any laxative will work for a little while anyway. Very quickly you will find that your body chemistry is so screwed up that you can't even poop on your own anymore (charming). You can upset your electrolyte balance. Electrolytes are minerals like sodium and potassium that are dissolved in the blood and other body fluids. They must be present in very specific amounts and exact ratios for proper functioning of nerves and muscles, including the heart muscle. Laxatives and enemas (and also forced vomiting) can upset this balance by flushing essential minerals out of the body, resulting in muscle cramps, tremors, spasms, irregular heartbeat, and in some cases cardiac arrest. The heart stops, and unless the person receives immediate emergency medical treatment, s/he dies.
Laxatives and enemas (and also vomiting) remove needed fluid from the body. The resulting dehydration can lead to tremors, weakness, blurry vision, fainting spells, kidney damage, and in some cases death. Severe dehydration requires medical treatment. Drinking fluid may not hydrate cells and tissues quickly enough to prevent organ damage or death. Laxatives irritate intestinal nerve endings, which in turn stimulate muscle contractions that move the irritant through the gut and out of the body. After a while the nerve endings no longer respond to stimulation. The person must now take greater and greater amounts of laxatives to produce bowel movements. S/he has become laxative dependent and without artificial stimulation may not have any bowel movements at all. Laxatives and enemas strip away protective mucus that lines the colon, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Enemas can stretch the colon, which over time becomes a limp sack with no muscle tone. No longer can it generate the muscle contractions necessary to move fecal matter out of the body. Laxatives abusers seem to have more trouble with the following problems than do nonusers: irritable bowel syndrome (rectal pain, gas, and episodes of constipation and diarrhea) and bowel tumors (both benign and cancerous). So there's your future..good luck.

The more water in the colon, the more regular you will be. Increase your WATER intake. For extreme cases get up very early in the morning and before you brush your teeth drink 32oz of warm water as warm as you can take it, for best results add 2 tbs uniodized sea salt to the water and drink it. this should be by 5:00 am as the body attempts purge itself between 4:00 and 7:00 am. Becareful your body has not developed a dependency on laxatives, you can also try Cascara Sagrada

Doing that will really screw up your systems. Laxatives can ruin your digestive track and make things "uncontrollable" eventually you may get dependent on them and not be able to go to the bathroom w/o them. Serious stuff

that is very dangerous and will just make you really dehydrated and sick. It wont make you lose weight.
Try exercise and eating better. Much better results.
