    Congrats Red, well done on the weight loss. xx
  121. skyegirl

    urgent question!!

    I have had Lurpak light and had no side effects so I wouldn't worry. xx
  122. skyegirl

    First weight in at GP

    Well done on your weightloss thats fantastic, keep up the good work. I too have a very supportive Dr, she's great. xx
  123. skyegirl

    Finally booked my 3rd Drs appt....

    3rd weigh in, 6lb gone!! Can't remember the link for the weightloss stars...anyone know it??? xx scrap that....found it. xx
  124. skyegirl

    Finally booked my 3rd Drs appt....

    Well went this morning and I've lost another 6lbs which although quite a small amount I am pleased with, thats a steady pound a week.
  125. skyegirl

    Fat content - mince

    I always use soya mince, relatively no fat.
  126. skyegirl

    bread?

    I hand bake all my bread and have to calculate the fat and calories acording to the ingredience and weight of it, thats a bit of a pain but its much nicer than the shop bought stuff, I used to have a bread making machine but it broke and I never got round to replacing it. xx

    Abreviation confusion....he he

    You will all have to excuse me, I do take a while to get things but I have been seeing the abreviation STS for a few days and was completely confused :confused: for a while thinking (don't laugh or be offended) that it looked like some nasty downstairs infection, didn't occur to me that it was...
  129. skyegirl

    Finally booked my 3rd Drs appt....

    Well I've done it I've booked the next weigh-in, as some of you might know I don't have scales so I have to wait till the Doc weighs me to see how much I've lost and its been over 6 weeks since I last went as I had extra tablets so there was no great rush...soooo I'm hoping the huge gap won't...

    Emmaaa is back, but not quite on the straight and narrow...

    Hi Emma, I remember you I think I'd done about a month when you went "offline", good to see you back, and don't worry you will get back on that wagon...you can do it. xx

    Christmas

    I am not sure what I'm going to do just yet but I think stopping the tabs a few weeks before and after might be a little extreme for me, I think I might just stop for the days over christmas, christmas day and boxing day and then sttraight back to it, I only drink vodka so thats not a problem...

    Help! I'm on a slippery slope!

    Check out the stickies they are really helpfull. But bare in mind it may well take your body a wee while to start burning fat and losing weight , we are all different. Really make sure you keep a food diary, its so important, that way you can see whre you may be going wrong if at all. Good luck...

    Worried- Side effect

    Never, never, never make yourself vomit, this is far worse than any xenical side effect, I'm sure things will be fine but never do it again..please. xx

    My latest discovery

    Help, please. :-)

    How to lose weight the healthy way I have included a link that will give you more info but as Red says you do need to eat to lose weight so don't go below 1500 calories per day, you will lose weight at aroubd 1-2lb per week which is perfect for long term weight loss, otherwise you may find it...

    Big Weight Loss = Loose skin

    Hi Calkarima, This issue tottally depends on your age and how much your skin has had to stretch. I calculate your starting weight as being around 17 st which although overweight is not as big as some of the people who have lost loads and been left with loose skin. You are right when you say that...
  145. skyegirl

    I GAINED!!

    Do you count calories as well as fat? If not are your portion sizes creeping up? Is it TOTM? Are you a bit bunged up? all these things can make us put on a few pounds. Look through you diary over the last 4 weeks and check to see what you were eating and wether it could have caused the gain. On...

    How is your body changing?

    Another question..sorry!

    Yep Rainbow, thats one of the early side effects too, I had it for about a week or so then no problems since. xx
  149. skyegirl

    My first weight in on Xenical

    Well done rainbow on your loss thats fab. I have no scales and have to wait to be weighed by the Dr, sometimes I go 5 weeks depending on how much of a stock pile of blue tabs I have and I find it quite freeing not getting on those scales every week. xx

    Hiya

    :welcome: Hi and welcome, re: the constipation, yes it will pass, (excuse the pun!!) just up your water intake and eat your greens, as for the lethargy and feeling sick, can't say I've had that but others on here have so I would say thats quite normal as your body gets used to xenical...

    Well done Red, you are doing so well.:happy096: :clap:
  152. skyegirl

    I am so angry

    I don't believe it, has your Dr had his/her head up his/her bottom for the last few years while the government and health officals have been going on about reducing obesity ? Sometimes you have to wonder how and why some of these people became Drs.:mad:
  153. skyegirl

    BMI and xenical

    I have been wondering if once your BMI gets below 30 do the medical profession still consider that you meet the criteria for xenical? My BMI is close to going below 30 and although I'm sure my Dr will continue to prescribe I was wondering what other peoples experiences have been. xxx
  154. skyegirl

    First time dreaded orange oil

    Could be something you ate a couple of days ago, do you keep a food diary? check back over what you've eaten in the last 48 hours. I've only had this side effect once and that was after eating 3 packets of crisps (yeah, should have known). xx
  155. skyegirl

    Calorie counting???

    How many of you count your calorie intake as well as having a low fat diet? and how many calories on average do your consume in a day? I have counted calories from day one and try not to go higher than 1,500 a day, a good day is when I manage to stay below 1,300. I am interested to hear if there...

    How much shold i expect to lose

    Hi I lost 13lbs in the first 4 weeks, then was weighed again 5 weeks later and had lost 6lbs which I was disappointed with but it was a loss and thats the important thing. It is much better to lose it slowley over a number of months rather than dropping rapidly and not giving your body and mind...

    What made you decide to try Xencial?

    I have yoyo'd for around 25 years, and quite frankly when I woke myself up snoring every night and couldn't walk to the shop without my back hurting I needed to do something drastic. My Dr was and is very supportive when I asked if I could try them and gets very excited when I get on the scales...

    I would have to agree with VixB, maybe your body just needs more calories, I rarely go below 1300 as I would be starving and this has to be something you can live with for life rather than a quick fix that leaves you wanting more, I also eat around 1500 a day and it has slowed right down, only...
