Hey all I've lost another 1.5lb this week. (Technically it is 7.5lb as I ended up eating way too much and not taking my pills the previous week which resulted in a 6lb gain. That's gone now including the extra so I'm very happy with myself x) I can now see the next stone number down now :-) xxx

Thanks Tracy xxx

4lb off for me this week after a sts last week. Think that takes me to the 28lb I was aiming for in this challenge :-) also another 1lb off and I'll get to see the next stone number down :-) woo hoo xxxx

Hi all. Just had my 4month check up at the docs for my pills yesterday and she was super happy with my loss so far. Asked to be measured this time as I knew I had definitely changed shape and since jan I have lost 11cm from my waist :-) also lost another 2.5lb this week xx

Hi Lexie just checked my total since you updated a few days ago and it needs jigging a little please :-) with today's loss added in I have lost a total of 24 lbs so only 4 left to go until my challenge target. Definitely going to beat it xxxxx :-)

Another 2.5lbs off for me please x

Well I've messed around the past few weeks with gaining and losing the same 4lbs. This week I've had a proper loss and have finally lost my first 50lbs :-) can't believe I've managed to do that since November x I've been really good at going to the gym and I push myself hard every time I'm...

Well done Tracy :-) xx

Hi all been missing for a few weeks. Have lost another 4.5lbs taking me over the 50lb loss in total so far xx

I have just bought that Paul mckenner book with cd. Haven't had a chance to look at it yet. What was it about it that made you change the way you live your life? You have doe amazing and good luck with the remaining part of your journey xx

Excellent news :-) xxxx

Thanks Lexie xxx

Well I didn't get the job but it did go down to me and the guy that did get it so that's something I suppose. Problem is I was applying for position in the school I already work at so slightly awkward but I'm sure it will be fine in the end. If I hadn't been losing the weight I most likely would...

Hi all another 5lb off for me this week please :-)

Thanks xxx

It will come off soon Hun. I keep telling myself that when the scales disagree with what I believe they should be xxx

Excellent news :-) xxx

Thanks xx :-)

Thanks Tracy :-) xxxx

Today's weigh in showed a 3.5lb loss meaning in 10 weeks I am only 1lb away from losing 3 stone so Im well chuffed about that. Still enjoying my gym sessions but am about to enter into a very stressful week at work. I have an interview for a promotion on Thursday and Im so pleased I have been...

Hey all, 3.5 off for me this week please. Just one lb away from 3 stone loss in total now in 10 weeks :-)

Excellent losses well done and applaud that amount of time on a cross trainer. I've just lat week re entered the world of fitness in over a decade and last time my trainer put me on the cross trainer for only 5minutes and boy did I feel like dying xxx I'm sure it will get easier over time xxxx

Well done chezz xx

Well my gym sessions went well this week and I've been out geocaching with my hubby and son which involved a lovely 2hr walk around our local lake. Haven't lost any weight this week which is a bit a annoying but I did have a big loss last week and it is almost totm. I know I have stuck to my fat...

Sts this week. Can't complain as I did lose 7lb last week. Just started the gym this week and totm is due soon. Have been really good with my food so hopefully ill see movement next weigh in x

Hey all, I completed my second session in the gym on Thursday and it's still going well. I'm actually really enjoying it. I do feel rather intimidated by the thin fit people that are there but I just smile and pretend I'm ok. I figure they may judge me on my size (possibly) but they can...

What a fantastic loss. Well done :-)

Hi Tracy, I'm like you with around the same amount left to lose, give or take. I took the plunge 8 weeks ago and started what is hopefully going to be my last major weight loss journey. I have a 5 year son and i often feel like a very bad mummy when I can't do things with him all because of how...

Hey Buffy, congrats on the new relationship and well done to staying on track and in your points. I had a big day today. I entered the gym for the first time in over 10 years and I actually enjoyed myself. My trainer is very nice so hopefully this will help me on my journey to becoming fit and...

Well I've completed my first ever gym session in over a decade tonight. Really liked my trainer and actually enjoyed myself so I'm quite looking forward to Thursdays training session :-)

Well done on the fab loss x

Thanks :-) I am very happy with loss xx Everyone has been doing super well xx

Wow what a fantastic loss you must feel like a different person x

Thats definitely why I need to take it. Can't see me coming off it any time soon but when I do I hope I am prepared enough to go it alone xx

It comes around quicker than you think. You'll be there in no time at all x

:-) sounds like you're having an excellent week :-) looking forward to hearing how you do on Monday x

You are doing super fantastic and your meals look very tasty. Don't get down because you ate the bacon. Yes it might have sent you over points but you certainly haven't ruined your week. I did a food for thought group prior to this weight loss journey and my favourite bit was the psychologist...

Hey ya just wondering how you're getting on?

Sounds yummy x

Well done that was an excellent weight loss x

Well I've just had my official weekly weigh in and I've lost 7lb this week making it 37.5lb in 8weeks. I am more than happy xxxx

Well after losing a further 7lb this week I am now down 37.5lb in 8 weeks. Woo hoo!

How long were you on the xen for Lexie ? You have fantastically well on your own x

Official weigh in this week is 7lb off :-)

Hi all well it ended up just being a paper based xassessment yesterday. Am now going on Tuesday for my first physical session x been to docs or my xenical check up today and that went well. She s happy I am still losing so have been given my ext months supply. Official weigh day tomorrow. Hope...

Well done on your loss this week x

Hi all, well after my stress about going to the gym yesterday they didn't actually let me get started. They did all the paperwork but want me to come on Tuesday for my first proper time. Today was my 2month xen check up and the nurse who I didn't like adt month was nice to me this month. Pretty...

Gym induction today with the gp referral programme. A bit scared as I haven't been in a gym for over 11 years and I certainly have never worked one o one with someone before x

:-) well done Lexie xx pleased to see you got your 11 back xx

Well finally got to speak to the person at the leisure centre and have got booked in for my gym induction session on Thursday after work. Wish me luck as its been yeas since I saw the inside of a gym x

Hi all thanks for all the lovely comments. Have my assessment at the leisure centre on Thursday so hopefully that goes ok. I have started getting out and about more with my little one, have got a friend and her two children that are wanting to be out and about so we have days out walking etc...

Sounds like you know what you want x good luck to you for your appointment x keep up with the good work in the meantime :-)

I'm hoping so. X

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining the chat :-) I'm also someone who is going to be hanging round here for the foreseeable future. I started my current round of weight loss in may after I suffered from some health problems. While seeing my very nice doctor about my chest pains, palpitations...

Back to work for me today and I have to say I'm pleased to return to normality. I was looking forward to opening up a fridge and not wanting to eat everything in sight ( namely as it doesn't belong to me -hehe!) I have stuck 100% to what I should be eating and am hoping to drop a few more pounds...

I'm terrible. I just don't think I have a stop button when I start on the crisps x best not to have them in then I can't eat them

That's ultimately what I'm aiming for. Baby steps on my way there I think :D

Well done, you made super choices with what could have been a very naughty meal :)

I'm currently on Orlistat, been on for 7 1/2 weeks and I have to say it was the best decision I have ever made. I don't consider it to be a miracle pill more of a Jiminy Cricket pill (my food conscience)

I like the weight watcher hula hoop crisps too but I've just stopped myself buying anymore as someone who previously ate too many crisps I'm becoming a bit addicted to them and eating too many. So I'm going crisp cold turkey for a while. :o I've tried out some of the weight watcher ice cream...

Can't wait! :p

Been trying out the individual weight watcher cake slices, currently have carrot cake and lemon cake in the cupboard. Not sure I'm actually that keen on either of them. I do however like the chocolate brownie weight watcher cake x

Oooh Jenny I quite like the 3 jars idea. I have a lot to lose and have only just started out on my journey so having the small step jar in between maybe a perfect way to not be overwhelmed by the huge first jar.:D

Hi, I'm only 7 1/2 weeks on Orlistat and I have yet to have any major side effects from the pills. No leaking or accidents. At first I was very good not to eat anything that would set off a bad reaction. I don't add any extra oil to my cooking as to me it is a waste of my fat allowance. Instead...

Oh dear, I like both cake AND alcohol ;) hehe xxx :D

Hey Betty, just wondering if please tell me how you make the sw parmos? OH and I love them but a real one is a no go when trying to lose weight. :-)

Hoping mine doesn't slow down too much yet with me still being a long way from goal but I always take it one day at a time and it will come off as and when it wishes. As long as I know I am eating healthy and sticking with it I know it will come off eventually x

I'm not at the point where I can have any food like chocolate in the house without wanting to stuff my face. Hope to get there one day :-) x

It sounds like you had a good time as well as managing to stay in your calorie allowance. It's good that we can still have a life while still losing weight as long as we prepare for it like you did with the extra exercise :-) x

That sounds like a good plan to get past your "sticky" weight. Good luck x

Thanks x

Thanks :-)

Thanks :-) I'm so happy to see a 24 on the scales instead of the 27. I haven't seen it in quite a few years xx

Well I've lost 1 1/2 lb this week which I am happy with as I haven't always taken my pills or watched what I've ate. Back on it properly now so hopefully I may have bigger numbers for next week xx

1 1/2 off for me this week please. Hoping for a bigger loss next week when I've actually stuck to healthy eating more :-)

Yeah I saw your jam jars. Think they're a fab way of seeing just how far you have come and also how close you are to getting to target :-)

Hi Lexie thanks for the add. I'm on the xenical currently. Got my second monthly check in at the docs on the 10th of Jan. xx Just looking for a little extra incentive in the way of a challenge :-)

Well that's what I thought. If I had something to focus my mind to, in smallish-steps then the weight may come off quicker than I realise. Had my first "proper" full day back on it today. No cheating whatsoever and all my pills so far today have been taken. Been and done my first 2014 food shop...

Well done on your loss and have fun today :-)

Thanks Tracy x it's weigh day tomorrow but I've been really patchy both with pill taking and eating (well it was Xmas :-)) so I'm not expecting much if anything for tomorrow. However I'm back to it now so onwards and downwards xxx You have done super well and I look forward to a time when I have...

Hi Lexie could I join in too please? As I'm right at the beginning of losing my weight I'm going aim for another 2 stone off so 28lb as my target please. Thanks :-)

Hi Rawrrr, just replied to your thread asking about meal ideas and found your blog so thought I would say hi. I'm currently taking Orlistat and I have to say for me it has been the best thing ever. Was completely at the end of trying everything by myself- including being referred to a food for...

Hi ya. I've found most weight watchers sauces to be quite good. You could technically have a Mexican wrap if you were to substitute your chicken or mince for quorn. Its not perfect but it has been allowing me to enjoy foods that might be too high in fat otherwise. The calories are low too...

Thanks Kitty. It's very exciting watching the weight actually coming off this time :-)

Well today is week 6 weigh in and I have to say I'm pretty happy with my results. I've lost 3lb this week (was 6 on Xmas morning but that was due to being poorly) which makes it 29lb in total sine I started on the xen. I am so happy that I have made the 2stone mark. Now next week I'm looking...

It's Christmas Eve and I have been worrying about what I should eat as to not go over my fat allowance. Turns out I need not worry about it as I have unfortunately ended up with a middle ear and throat infection so currently can't swallow anything more than liquid. Ah well every cloud has a...

Well it is week 5 weigh in today and I have to say I am very impressed with myself. I've lost 3 1/2 lb this week making my total 26 lb. can't believe I'm 2lb off 2 stone in only 5 weeks x

Hi Jules how are you doing? How's your dad?

Well I am pleased that I am on the little blue pills tonight as really want to eat a Chinese takeaway. Not just any chinese food but sweet and sour battered chicken with half fried rice and half chips. I don't even think I'm particularly hungry more of a craving because I haven't had one for...

Hi all. Well docs appointment went well. I was given month 2 of orlistat. Bit of a delay getting them but have them again now so that's the main thing. Lost a further 3 1/2 lb this week making it 22 1/2lb in 4weeks :-)

Hey Jules hope is going well and your dad is doing better x Docs day tomorrow I'm a bit nervous even though I have lost weight as I don't know what to expect. It's been a slow weight loss this week so far but I have lost a lot in a short space of time so it is probably just balancing itself out...

Thanks Kitty I'm off to the docs tomorrow for my first monthly check up. Think it's been a slow weight loss this week but I have lost a lot already so I'm not gonna let myself get upset or down about it x

Hi good luck on your journey x I went straight on the 3pills a day too as I would have thought people would need the help of the pills more at the beginning and maybe less as time goes on and you can control what you are eating more by yourself. I'm due to go back to docs on Friday for my 4 week...

Hi. Thanks Rach I have to say I've impressed myself x Jules, nice to meet a fellow newbie. In terms of food I have not eaten anything over the 5g fat per 100g. My first week started quite safe I stuck mainly to stir fry and chicken with veg. Next week I started developing a taste for quorn so it...

Hi to all who may read. I began my journey back to me 3 weeks ago with the aid of the little blue pill. The doctor prescribed them as my last attempt to lose weight before I head for surgery. In all honesty I wasn't looking forward to them after reading about the "side effects" but I can easily...
