how did you get on?

dont think i had a particular amount to have to lose prior to being prescribed the tabs. he just asked me about what effort i had gone to try to lose weight and when i said the different things i had tried he agreed to prescribe them.

ok folks. will get weighed tonight - i know i weigh heavy then but its just the time i usually get weighed. so watch this space.

i think if it is low and you had diabetes that would have suggested type I and this is picked up when they are young. if you are type II i dont think you usually have low blood sugars and it is hight blood sugars that you get (i am type II - associated with being overweight) blood tests are...

had you eaten anything? have you done a fasting blood sugar? presume you are not diabetic?

think i was told i just had to show i was losing.

thats an idea. might try that. its just i enjoyed my hour of swimming. the reason physio said no to breaststroke is it extends the neck muscles - or flexes it i cant quite remember. he certainly nearly had a fit when i said i did for an hour at a time! otherwise you are right swimming is really...

bril thanks i go through cheetham hill to work every day.

thanks Lexie. will check

have just seen a physiotherapist following a car accident in january - nothing is quick when dealing with insurance people. i have been advised not to continue with my excerise programme of swimming for an hour three times a week. i am not to do breast stroke but can do backstroke. i cant do...

at the moment that seems a long waaaaay offff

cant get any in manchester or bury

30 minutes swimming 15 minutes walking.

chicken casserole including lots of lovely root vegetables

whoopedy whoooop

i have been using xenicol since December 2011. i have now lost 2stone 2lb. it has helped me keep on track. use mfp too to keep me on track. i am notagain100 if you want to add me

(((hugs))) hope your head clears soon. get back on the waggon and you will be fine. Lexie will come along later with the waggon and just climb back on board. keep coming on here and you will find the support you need.

shepherds pie, sugar snap peas broccoli and cauliflower.

well done everyone. not for me though. it is a saturday. need my wine and pretzels. it could be worse it could have been pistachio nuts as i used to have.

how brilliant - love a bargain. how bril someone not recognising you with your weight loss.

have a lovely time. i dont think liquids count on fridays or saturdays!

another hour of swimming.

i agree ask the pharmacist.

not for me today however stressful day and it is friday. sorry. but good news i have lost 2lbs since last week

ah thank you

2lbs off for me please :)

whoopety whoop

60 minutes swimming

((((((hugs))))))) what a miserable time you are having. hope it all sorts it out soon

oooh that sounds lovely. i was wanting to have one but i have had a flare up of arthritis in my feet and they are too painful to even touch them. as they are getting better might think of booking one.

i use the mfp for the calories and the diet i do is a diabetic one - more or less, less being at the weekend!

bloodyhell that is too complicated for me! but good luck to you on it. whatever floats your boat

well done hmmmm

do you know what causes your IBS? i know for me wheat is not brilliant. i know my gp said for some people tomatoes affected them badly. when i was diagnosed as diabetic i found the diabetic diet more or less sorted out my IBS which had been severe at times. i know it is different for everyone. i...

whoop whoop for me today :)

Only 30 minutes swim fir me. Too many kids in. Last time I go from work early. Still it all counts

Thanks. Was gutted :(

thanks for running challenge. certainly cant think about how much I could lose before Christmas. for me its each Friday as it comes!

Have just made lovely ham and egg salad for lunch at work tomorrow. went into fridge to get a diet coke and salad container fell out all over the kitchen floor. cannot believe it. i am trying so bloody hard . anyway made another one. thought i had boiled an egg - put timer on and went back to it...

i used to drink loads of water. i am not sure what happened but now i am a diet coke addict.

that will never happen i am always in a rush in the mornings. was thinking i would do it friday evening when i do my weigh in. i guess if i always do it at the same time hopefully it will still show my losses. it was a bit frightening when measuring. i am sure the tape measure had shrunk and...

that has given me a good laugh. thanks

i have a script but cannot get any in manchester. most chemists did not know when they were expecting any supplies but boots the chemist said the end of May. i know some on here have been able to get supplies.

i used to drink diet coke occasionally now i am addicted to it. it cant be doing me any good but it just seems to hard to give it up as well as diet.

thanks everyone. need to think this through a bit. really glad i came on here though as i have not given up and had a much better day.

thanks everyone. just feeling sorry for myself. feel really miffed. i know others go of the rail they dont seem to do it as badly as i do . anyway taking everyones advice and tomorrow is another day.

no all me i am afraid. he rarely drinks as if he does it is red wine. i enjoy sparkling wine and all the crips were mine. i know i just need to start again. just feeling really pathetic. i am either getting it all right or i go off the rails big time. i am an all or nothing girl!

at home with husband watching tv.

i can go one better. a month or so before i started to get to grips with losing weight i gave away about 7-8 bags of smaller sized clothes. now i am having to buy new ones!!! cant believe i gave them all away. couldnt believe i could do it. now down 2 sizes but trying to see the positives.

bloodyhell. 1 bottle of wine 4 packets of crisps so far. i have lost it yet again, did do an hours swim today. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

take it back bottle of wine and 4 packets of crisps later !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

bust measurement - under or over? sorry for being thick

thanks for doing this. i have found it great that even if i have not done very well with my eating plan i do usually do some excercise in the week and it feels good to put it in writing. can you put me down for 3,600 which may be a bit optimistic but still i can only try

another 60 minutes swimming for me please

whoop whoop

Glad you dont actually want our measurements. nearly fainted at the thought of that. i will join in.

Happy Easter everyone . i personally can resist chocolate. its savoury foods and wine i find harder lol

chicken with bag of winter vegetables done in the oven

whoop whoop for me :)

another 60 minutes of swimming for me please

i get weighed at the doctors in kg but it really doesnt mean anything to me. so weigh myself at home in stones and lbs. i also weigh only in whole pounds. it does do some increments but i dont bother with that.

well done you. it is such a good feeling.

whoop whoop for me:)

bril way of tracking our excercise. another hour swimming.

no sorry. will try harder tomorrow

dont want to look as it is too far away. just know i am nearly 2 stone lighter so trying to focus on the positive.

thats pretty fab

no woop woop for me :(

pretzils for me too

does anyone live near manchester and if so are there any tablets. i am hoping you are all right in believing more supplies are coming. i just cant find any. :(

only managed 35 minutes swimming

spoke to a pharacist today. has been told it will be at least until end of may before any orlistat available.

is there room for a little one? ok a big one. losing plot. have put on 2lbs . i know not the end of the world and i have still lost but feelilng fed up. have had a bad week. i know its all excuses but honestly i have been diagnosed with osteoarthrits of my toes and ball of my feet. have been...

60 minutes of swimming please for me

that sounds brilliant lets hope it is getting around the country so we can all get back on it.

thanks everyone. continuing to resist other goodies at work.

sounds like a plan. good luck

chilli and wholemeal pasta

you poor love. it is such misery when littleuns are unwell. hope she is feeling better soon and you are able to get back on track.

60 minutes swimming please

needing to lie down now after reading all your planned excercise lol

sorry you have had all your medical problems it really sucks. as you are probably aware there is a general shortage all over. the best i can suggest is you keep coming on here and try to stick to the diet but without the tablets. are you on myfitnesspal? its a good way to keep tabs on your...

ok well i have had a 100% day today. well unless i eat something not allowed but feel confident.

chicken casserole with baked potatoe

thanks everyone

well can i just ask what is a 100% day. i am under calorie goal according to myfitnesspal. but i have eaten doritos and a bottle of wine. so maybe i have had a 100% day although i have forgotten to take my tablets. honestly i do try but i like my wine and something salty.

salmon parcel with leeks creme fraiche - reduced fat frozen peas tarragon carrots potatoes and brussels sprout flowers.

cant remember who started a positive thread. but my positive note is that to get to my seat at the football i have to walk up about 100+ steps. usually i am so out of breath i have to make several stops on the way up. today i was able to make the 100+ and walk straight to my seat. yes i was out...

try tomorrow. must work harder lol

best advice is to speak to a pharmacist.

another hour of swimming tonight. thanks

Was weighed by nurse and doctor but I only count my own Friday weigh in

So far ... Lol

no i have put the 3lb in the sticky for you to log it off today. does that make sense. think i was just trying to comment that you had another 3lb off.

ooh not really sure but i suspect not with my wine and pretzels. will check in sunday to thursday :(

thanks everyone. onwards and downwards

well i have added another 3lb off

another 3lbs for me please

another hour swimming for me please

not thought of that

thanks that great to know. sometimes i feel it is only me as everyone else seems to be getting on. i know folk have blips but mine is regular as clockwork. so far i have managed to lose weight

all gone. no thorntons chocolates left and i had none

oh dear it all sounds a bit of mess with it all doesn't it. i have to say this month the tablets dont seem to be affecting me the same. i usually have oily poo (sorry) and can see fat globules in the toilet. now nothing. and i am defo remembering to take them. not sure why the change.

i dont think i need the waggon i just need my lips sewn up every friday tea time til sunday morning. i am really good the rest of the time and its weekend coming.at work thinking of wine and pretzels. i know i know. :(

it is a bit of suprise when the health professionals dont know about the shortage. my nurse did not know about it either.

that is so fab hobnobsmummy, well done

that is just so bril. waiting for my turn to be able to say that

whatever works for you - and great that your colleague is behind you.

how great is that. you must be feeling tip top.

(((hugs))) i dont know what i can say really. only you know how you are feeling. i agree with others. keep logging what you are eating on mfp. we are all rooting for you.

bloodyhell

you me both. i felt soooo much better once he weighed me. i knew i had lost weight. ok 2kg in a month is not bril but is is a weight loss and it certainly isn't a STS. feel loads better. i think the other reason i was annoyed about when i told the nurse i had lost weight on my home scales she...

sounds loads of fun. might ask the waggon to call even though i am on the straight and narrow at the moment. dont want to miss all the fun.

thanks girls. it was tempting as i had to go past where they were sitting but knew i was swimming tonight and didn't want to have to swim for longer to work off the calories

what is the nurse looking for? i asked my doctor today if there was anything else but he said there used to be but it is now banned. so for me i guess that is a no!

so glad you made it home. i have only once experienced the need for bum clenching and it is not good.

How big is this waggon lol sounds like we need a fleet of them

box of thorntons chocolates opened today at work. i am so proud i did not eat one single chocolate. i would have loved one but didn't . one colleague who is dieting had 4. sorry just wanted to come on here and boast.:D

thanks for that tip! i had to see my GP today for another problem and whilst there i asked him to weigh me and funily enough i have lost 2kg since monday! so feel vindicated that i must have lost that on Monday and it had not shown. probably standing too far back!

sounds lovely. its great to have somethink like that to look forward.

had to see doctor today and asked if he could weigh me whilst i was there. i have lost another 2kg since Monday weigh in! so feel vindicated that something must have been up with the nurses scales.

another hours swimming please for me

well done you. a new start. glad you are celebrating with grapes

((((hugs)))) you rant if you want to.

Lexie, does that mean if you have a private prescription you can get hold of the stuff? thought it was unavailable. perhaps i am being thick!

good luck with getting any. one chemist i spoke to said i would not be able to get it anywhere in the country!

glad you are feeling back on track. good luck

nurse did take my waist measurements but it is years since it was last done and it was more! still she has a measurement now so if i dont lose i will ask her to do my waist measurement.

1 hour swimming please

i have to be weighed by the practice nurse monthly and only if i lose will i get a script although this week she said you can get away with one month staying the same. at home i weigh myself every friday at the same time in the buff ! i have weight watchers scales. they are digital (nurses...

can you get ali or is that not easy to get hold of?

is that lipobind? as it is all i can find.

hope so Lexie otherwise i will be screaming at the top of my voice and you will hear me all over the country!

they are your tablets so i dont think it is selfish. lets just hope it is all sorted out quicklyl

ooh ta

must look into this.

aah dont be hard on yourself. it was a special weekend for several reasons and you ate more than you should - jump back on. you know you are ok. keep going. keep coming on here. also lucky you having a months supply of xenicol as several folk on here cannot get it anymore!!! there is a shortage.

i am searching around the house to see what tablets i have over. i know initially i kept forgetting to take them. i might be ok for a month - possibly. i know i have some at work. i have kept them all over the place to try to remember! its hard to know what to say for those without any soon. i...

well that sounds good? i know you are worried about not being able to manage without your tablets. at least it is homemade and you know whats in it.

((((((hugs)))))) sending loads of hugs. whatever you do try not to stop trying. you know once you stop you really stop. dont give up. try each day to start again. it is a hard journey. dont be hard on yourself. it was mothers day and you are obviously working hard and you chose mcdonalds as...

thanks folks. will keep going and see what happens.

home made chicken curry and brown basmati rice

thanks - it is dishartening but i haven't lost my focus to lose weight. i did show the nurse my troussers which are too big for me! i usually love to go and get weighed as i have lost each time. i have booked my next appt and i will defo have lost.

and i have a script and like everyone else there are no tablets. i have about 2 weeks worth. nurse has told me i have to take them 3 times a day as i did not lose any weight and i had admitted to not taking them three times as i was trying to stretch them. nurse hadnt heard any problems with the...

same scales. it is so disappointing as i have not cheated on my home scales or anything.;

Now i do know that i am overreacting but i feel devestated. i have been to see the practice nurse and i have not lost any weight. the scales say i have stayed the same. i dont know how that can be when i weight myself every week and have clearly lost weight. it feels sureel. i dont cheat on...

well thanks guys i will give it a go. thanks

oh dear. happy mothers day anyway!

full roast dinner with minimal fat on roast potatoes. and best bit is i am not cooking it.

thanks everyone. will keep you updated

how easy is it for someone who has never done it to pick it up. i am not very coordinated ! think the leisure club i belong to might have classess i am not really sure i can do it. on the other hand i have arthritis and might find it difficult anyway. might try it though

what happened when you phoned the manufactorer? have you spoken to your chemist about your worries they are not working?

well i can always reduce the number i take a day and hope they get some soon. i know of at least 2 chemists who dont have any but i will see next week. as long as i keep coming on here and getting support hopefuly the worst that will hap pen i will just stay the same.
