Well I've had the rubbish news that I'm being made redundant at Xmas :cry: Have worked there for 12 1/2 years so am really gutted...on the plus side we've decided that we're going to go to Egypt for New Year, hopefully, so that should cheer me up!! Also I'll be 4 1/2 stones lighter than I was...

My target for December is 7lbs, I'll only be 12lbs off my target weight then, will have lost 4 1/2 stones!!! Can't believe I'm so close!! Also might be going to Egypt on Dec 28th and am going to wear a bikini..EEEEK!!!!! :flirt2:

Yay!!!! 4 1/2lbs off at my weigh in today!! Have hit my target!! Yay me!!

Now I do have serious supsicions that you are working for Metamucil / Gary Taubes!! Go and promote whatever it is elsewhere Bassman, we are all quite happy with the way we are dieting here thank you!!

Had lost 3lbs at my weigh in yesterday so am pretty chuffed as haven't been that good the last couple of weeks...4lbs to get off in the rest of November now......

I'll go for 7lbs off this month please!

I didn't get weighed as I should last week as couldn't get an appt with the nurse at all, so annoyed!! I'm now seeing her on Wed 11/11. I won't use other scales either as don't trust them! I only ever weigh on the nurse's scales.... So I don't know my end loss ofr the month... never mind...

I never really had an actual weight in mind, I decided to myself I wanted to be able to wear a size 14 dress size comfortably, I am pretty much there now, some size 14's are fitting me, now I am nearly there though I'm thinking I'd like to maybe lose another 21 lbs which might even put me into a...

I've always eaten roasts!! Turkey and a massive pile of veg is a perfect meal for a Xenical taker! I do skip the yorkshire puds and roasties these days but other than that, a roast dinner is absolutely fine. I've never had a side effect yet from one. In fact have only had one side effect...

I was weighed on Wednesday, had lost 1.5kg, so about 3lbs, 5 to go for my monthly target...(I think I said 8 :confused:)

We went last night and it is absolutely amazing!!!!! Poppy loved it so much, she was totally captivated, I was nearly in tears all evening just watching her!! She went dressed as Sleeping Beauty, looked gorgeous, all the little girls were dressed up! The show itself is just fantastic, you can...

It's in Manchester this week at the MEN, we're going on Sunday, my daughter Poppy is beside herself with excitement! she's dressing as Sleeping Beauty, has had her gown hung on her wardrobe for the last two weeks where she can see it when she wakes up!

8lb again for me please!

Boooooo!! got weighed yesterday and had stayed the same :cry: Was a bit gutted to be honest! This afternoon though my period has arrived so I'm hoping I was retaining a bit yesterday due to that. Means I was 1lb off my 8lb target for September though :cry:

It's my weigh in tomorrow morning, not feeling overly confident this fortnight, had lost 7lb last fortnight though so only 1lb needed to meet my September goal, would be over the moon with a 3lb loss, would put me at 3 1/2 stone loss in total! Fingers crossed!!

Are you sure you're eating enough? 1200 calories doesn't seem like enough a day to me. I eat 1500 a day and the diet has been working a treat, one fortnight I cut down on that, to about 1200, & I lost nothing at all. Maybe try upping your calories.

I'd like to lose 2 stone by Xmas too, I'd be at my target weight then too. Would like to be wearing size 14 clothes, I'm now down to a 16 so I reckon another 2 stone gone and a 14 will fit perfectly! Fingers crossed!! Good luck everyone!

I have a drink every single weekend while I've been on Xenical and it has not affected my weight loss at all!! I drink either wine (rose), cava (or champagne if I'm feeling rich!!) or if spirits, gin and slimline tonic, vodka and a diet mixer is fine too. I've lost 46lb so far since May. The...

I had my weigh in yesterday and I've lost 7lbs!!! :party0049: I'm so pleased! I'd set myself 8lbs this month so only 1lb to go!! would love to lose another 7 though.....

Wowowowowow!!! you look seriously amazing, what an achievement, well done you!! :D

8lbs for me this month please

I had my end of month wigh in yesterday, I had stayed the same ,was happpy with that to be honest, I;d alreday lost 13lbs this month, so ended up 1lb off my target. We've just got back from 5 days camping so I was surprised I hadn't put on, bbq every night, cooked breakfast, even had a pub...

Woohoo!! That's brilliant!! feels great doesn't it?!

Wow! Good luck! My daughter in law has just lost 42 lbs in about 8 weeks on Lipotrim. She was told she wasn't to exercise on it though, don't think you are taking in enough calories to fuel you for exercise so please be very careful!! Take care and please keep us updated on your progress...

Roasting is a fab idea, I eat lots of roasted veg, sprayed with one cal spray, sprinkle rock salt and pepper on them, sometimes some paprika or chilli flakes too. I also often sprinkle finely chopped coriander on veg...yum.....

Wow!! everyone is doing so well!! go girls!! I got weighed yesterday and have lost 7lbs this last fortnight, yay me!! I'm so pleased with myself!!! I think I set my target for the month at 14lbs..have done 13 so far! I get weighed again on 01/09 so will report back then.....

You have done amazingly!!!

Another vote for Spanx here, they are fab and actually comfortable, worth the money.

Had my weigh in this morning and have lost the 6lbs I put on whilst on my hols so am very happy about that!! That leaves me only another 4 (I think I said I wanted a 10lb loss this month) for August), not many that really so think I'm going to up my target to 14, so a stone off in August...

I'm joining again this month, am back off my 18 day holiday to Turkey, didn't take any tablets while there and pretty much ate and drank whatever I felt like, I had a sneaky jump onto the scales this morning at the docs and it looks like I've gained about 6lbs, which I'm okay about...so my...

I've been eating loads of fish, prawns, tuna steaks, cod and haddock, have got a lovely recipe for Moroccan Cod Tagine and one for Haddock and spring onion risotto, both really yummy!! Also a Zesty prawn recipe (basically a tomatoey sauce with prawns and lemon zest and juice in it, it's...

That's fantastic, well done!!

Wowowowow!! That's brilliant, well done!!

Yay!! Well done, thats brilliant!!

I'm bowing out of July's challenge, I'm away from 10th to the 28th on holiday so know I'll be drinking a fair bit and probably eating a bit more than usual, am going to try and keep it healthy but also really don't want to spend my holiday stressing about it.. Will be back in the August...

I'd lost 12lbs up to my weigh in last Wednesday, had set myself 14lbs off during June, I don't get weighed again now until Wed 8th July but I'm at the docs for something else tonight so am going to try and sneak on his scales and see if I have lost 2lbs since last week to hit 14, fingers crossed!!!!

Oooooh, will get some of these, I've been missing crisps!

I'm going to Gumbet on the 10th, for 18 days! Love it!

I too am off to Turkey on holiday, next Friday! I've decided that I'm leaving the tablets at home. I have no control over how the food I'm going to be eating is cooked, I don't want to spend my whole holiday being worried about side effects, I discussed this with the nurse at my last weigh in...

You can't have anything with more than 5g per 100g, even if it is only a tiny bit and the rest of what you are eating is super low fat. I tend to have a bit of fat free yoghurt (I add mint to make it the same as you get from the Indian!) or Weight Watchers creme fraiche, which is the only creme...

Had my weigh in yesterday, I'd lost 3lbs, in a fortnight, I was pretty gutted to be honest :cry: I'm feeling a bit better today, trying to look at the bigger picture, I've lost 27 lbs in just under 8 weeks, which is amazing! I don't get weighed again now until 8th July.....hoping for a bigger...

Wooohooo!! Well done!!

Well done babymable, that's a fantastic loss!! Weigh in day for me on Wednesday, I always get nervous around now and convince myself I won't have lost anything......

Thanks for the replies guys. She has totally stuck to it 100%, I know that for a fact. I should see her tonight so will mention about her maybe drinking too much water and also if she's going to the toilet okay too. She gets weighed again in the morning, I hope it shows a decent loss as I...

I've still been drinking, like 2 bottles of wine over the space of the weekends and have still lost an average of 4lbs per week, I've not drank last weekend, am not drinking this weekend either, I get weighed on Wednesday so am interested to see if not drinking has made any difference at...

Thanks for your reply, she is drinking a lot of water, every time I see her she has water bottle in hand! What is the maximum she should be drinking per day? I'll pass the info on to her! I'm just hoping she gets a decent loss this week to make up for it. it wasn't her time of the month so...

I'm posting this for my daughter in law, she had her 3rd weigh in on Saturday just gone (she's on Lipotrim) and was told she'd gained 6lbs. She was absolutely devastated, the chemist guy said it might be because she is exercising, she's gained muscle, but 6lbs?!!! She was so upset all day...

You can eat anything as long as it is less than 5g of fat per 100g, you need to read the lablel on literally everything!!

That's fab ,well done!!

That sounds very similiar to my diet lately, I've been doing fine on it

I thought you would only get orange stools if you ate too much fat? I'm on week 7 of Xenical and haven't had a single side effect, I also haven't eaten anything in that time with over 5g of fat per 100g. I had lost 24lbs when I got weighed a week ago so it must be working!

That's fab, well done!!

I had my fortnightly weigh in yesterday, have lost another 9lbs!!! Wooohoo! So 24 lbs in total in 5 weeks and 5 days! i'm thrilled! am realyl starting to feel a diference in myself and with my clothes now. Happy days!!

Maybe post on here exactly what you are eating over the space of a couple of days and I'm sure one of the experts might spot something that is causing you not to lose weight. It must be disheartening for you. I do find that keepnig a record of every single thing I eat and calorie / fat content...

That's fab! well done!

That's fab, you've done so well!!!!

I would like to lose 14lbs in June. i go on my hols on 10th July and had set myself a target loss of 2 stone by then, have lost 16lbs of it already.... Good luck everyone!! (My next weigh in is Wed. 10 June)

I've not replied sooner as strangely I can't access this board from my home computer, it's driving me mad!!! Anyway, I got weighed last Wednesday and had lost 4kg!! So I was 1kg over my challenge, I'm thrilled!! That's 7kg in my first month! (well 3 weeks and 5 days, so sut short of the month!)

I drank a bottle of gin over the space of the whole weekend..in my defence it was with slimline tonic though!!

Oooooh, I've always fancied a colonic too! (in a weird kinda way!) Please let me know how you go on!

That's fantastic!! Well done!!

Woohoo!! that's fab, well done!!

Thanks Shazboo, i'll have a nosey on there....

Well done!! I've had no side effects at all either

I've just started keeping a food diary at weekend, am doing it on my laptop, in Excel, here it is.....(I'm not saying follow this exactly, obviously, but this is what is working for me so far, I've lost 3kg in 12 days, it is quite long too!..) Hope it helps! Saturday 2 Shredded Wheat with...

Thanks for the welcome guys!! Have just done my first dumbells session, am shaking like a leaf!! :D

Hi guys, I'm also new here....would like to join this thread though! I've got my next weigh in on 27/05, I'd like to have lost another 3kg by then (had my first weigh in today, have lost 3kg in the 12 days I've been taking Xenical)

Hi guys, I thought I'd finally post after lurking here for the last 12 days!! I'm on my 12th day on Xenical today, had my first weigh in at my doctors and have lost 3kgs!! so I'm thrilled! Have worked hard though, no cheating, nothing other than very low fat foods, bought a cross trainer...
