If you really want it to work, you'll have to follow their plan closely, a shake for breakfast and lunch, their snack bars for snacks in between, and a "sensible" dinner. It'll work, but it's not a miracle diet, and it's not easy to maintain unless you can really do it.
And the diet pills, some work, some don't. You really have to be careful about the ones you choose. If you were to go this route though, get them at GNC. You'll sometimes pay a little higher of a price, but if you find they don't work for you, you can take them back with your receipt and get your money back. I use this practice quite a bit when I'm "testing" new products from them.
If you're really desperate to lose the weight, there's a new diet pill out called Alli. It's a fat blocker. You REALLY have to follow their plan though. If you intake too much fat, you'll get really bad side effects (leakage, staining your clothes, oily discharge to name a few). They suggest you carry extra (dark) clothes with you until you know the side effects.
Don't forget though, with whatever option you choose, you should add in cardio workouts as well. It'll help boost your metabolism, and make it easier to lose whatever weight you want to get rid of.
Good luck!

I've tried MANY different diet shakes and they may work at first but as soon as you start eating normal food (even fruit, veg and meat) you gain the weight back plus more. You are currently in a healthy weight range for your height but losing those 10lbs will still keep you healthy and not in an underweight category. Think about the workouts you do - are you doing plenty of cardio work? or are you doing mostly toning and weight work? Try this: Reduce your meal size slightly and add more protein (to keep you fuller for longer) Exercise a minimum of 5 days a week - mix of toning, cardio and weights And remember that it's going to take time, it's won't happen overnight.

It will work in the short term, but it's not something you can maintain for a long period of time unless you make permanent changes in your lifestyle. When I tried slim fast before I felt really deprived after several days and ended up binging.

it didn't work for me. Ended up loosing the weight slowly eating less exercising more. I know of a girl that lost 3 stone with it but she changed her habits too. She kept the weight off
