:) well done on your brilliant loss. Good luck for next week. x

I agree with Abbie. I think you should focus on the fact that a loss is a loss and that you have come a long way already. Stick with it and those pounds will soon start dropping off again.

Hi, welcome and good luck with your weight loss. Shorty x

Hi Allie, thanks for your support I hope you're right and those pounds come off quickly. xxx

Hi Kathryn, thanks for the reply. You are doing really great - Well done. I had a fantastic holiday thanks but back to reality now!!

Hi Guys, I Need to confess. I have not been on Minis for ages. At first I was having trouble accessing it and then I was just lurking and not posting because I was being a bit naughty. Then I went on holiday and didn't take the pills!! Anyway I put on 10 pounds and have lost 3 of them but...

Hi, Welcome to the Xenical Forum and good luck with your weight loss. It does work but you need to stick with it (I found out for myself!). Shorty

Well, I have returned from a lovely holiday but I am 10 pounds heavier!! I had started to drift from what I should be eating and had not been keeping a food diary before I went so it is not totally unexpected. I got back on track again on Monday and hopefully will lose something this week...

Come on Claire you can do it!! Think of all the lovely sunny days ahead you want to feel comfortable don't you? That's what's keeping me going at the moment, I've stayed the same for so long I was getting seriously fed up and was starting to eat far too much of all the wrong things but I've...

Hey Red, You look amazing - well done -all that hard work was worth it. Shorty x

I've been using the M&S 'Count on us' range which is really tasty too. I find it more satisfying than the weight watcher meals. I will try the fuller longer range as well now that I've heard how good it is.

Hi Sacred Silence, I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I haven't got any advice for you but I do know how you feel. I am struggling to lose much weight despite swimming every day and going on the treadmill twice a week. I stick very close to my calorie allowance but stay the same. My Dr...

Hi Kim's Dad, I have the same problem at the moment. I seem to have stayed the same for ages and it is really getting me down. Like you I think maybe that my portion size has gradually increased (I know that I haven't been weighing stuff as much) so I need to sort that out right away. Try...

That's fantastic, well done!!

Hi, I'm struggling at the moment as well. Feeling peckish all the time and giving in to little temptations. I'm blaming it on the cold weather and not being able to go out as much. But really I know it's all down to me. Good Luck. x

Hiya, Welcome back and Good Luck. x

Right, I've come on to confess that last night I had a Chinese Take Away!!!! It was the first one I have had since starting Xenical and I am now really annoyed with myself. I didn't even enjoy it that much but ate it anyway!! Haven't had any side effects yet but I'm sure I will later (or...

Well done Red. I'm afraid I'm not doing so well (lots of Christmas events that I've over indulged at). I haven't weighed but am sure I will have put on. I'm getting weighed by GP on 30th Dec so hope to have sorted myself out by then. Keep up the good work. Shorty x

Hi welcome to the forum and good luck on your weight loss journey. Your health seems to be similar to mine and you won't believe how much healthier I am on since being on Xenical. Not only have I lost more than 2 stones, I have much more energy (and even quite like exercise!!) , my B.P. is much...

Hi Yummy, Welcome back, we've missed you. Congrats on the job it sounds fantastic. I think you should go to the party - they must really like you to invite you before you've even started work so go for it. You can always wear a robe over your cossie I'm sure you're not the only one who...

There are two things I go for when I think I deserve a treat one is a WW mint choc dessert the other is a WW caramel dessert (not both at the same time - but in the old days I would've polished both off - no trouble!!) x

Hi, Just got back from the Doc's and I have now lost exactly 2 stones!!! I only lost 4 pounds again this month but I was prepared for that so didn't feel so disappointed as last time. Thanks again for all your support and for being here when I think of straying!! Shorty x

Hiya Red, Well done that's great. Good luck for next week. x

Hi, I'm so sorry that things aren't going well for you at the moment I hope it all works out for you. It is really hard for us women trying to be all things (wife, mother etc) and be ourselves as well. Men just don't get it they think that they have it tough because they go out to work but...

Hi Welcome and Good Luck. The best bit of advice I can give you is for you to have a look at the Sticky that Piink has posted for newbies - it's brilliant. x

Hey Liz, I know exactly what you mean. I have spent the last few years avoiding going to functions mainly because I didn't know what to wear and usually ended up looking like a beached whale!! Since I've been on Xenical I am much more positive about myself and for the first time in years am...

I know exactly how you feel I have always hated exercise and slimming clubs and have always found reasons/excuses to avoid going but this time it is different. I have found a way to exercise that seems to suit me. I started off gradually and now make sure I do some form of exercise for at...

Hi Red, I've missed your posts - you are so inspiring and entertaining so I hope you start to feel more like yourself soon. I definitely think its to do with the time of year. Like you I was doing really well but it's so much easier to eat salad etc in the nice weather. I've just wanted...

:mad: Hiya, I had my monthly weigh in with the Doc today and have only lost 4 pounds this month! I know a loss is a loss and I should be pleased but because I've lost so much more at previous weigh ins I can't help feeling disappointed. It wasn't totally unexpected because I have struggled...

Definitely agree with Katie about the chicken stir fry, I use the blue dragon chow mein sauce and chuck in some Amoy straight to wok noodles as well. Nice and tasty and very filling and also quick and simple to prepare. x

Hi, I've been on Xenical for about 3 months, I am due for my third weigh in tomorrow. Up until my last weigh in I had lost 20 pounds. I lost 10 pounds each month and was thrilled. My clothes are definitely much baggier and my boobs are much smaller. People have started to notice that I have...

Hi everyone, I've had my second weigh in at the Docs this evening and I've lost 10 pounds again. I am very pleased with this as I thought last months good loss was down to beginners luck! I love reading how you are all getting on and I'm sure it's because of you all that I have stuck with...

Red, that's fantastic you should feel really proud of yourself. You've really got stuck in to it and the hard work is paying off already. You're amazing, I can't wait to hear how you get on when you get weighed at the Docs. :D:D

I LOVE Malt loaf ..... but spoil it by eating the whole loaf 'cos once I start I can't stop - I am so weak!!

Yes, I've been having a bit of trouble with that as well!! They seem to catch me unaware and are loud and stink like anything!! I find I need to leave the room just in case - I would die of embarassment if anybody heard it!!! Shorty

Come on Missy you can do it!!! I know it's really hard at times, but we're all here for you and know exactly how you feel. I'm sure I would've given up by now if I didn't read all the amazing success stories on here. I've set myself mini targets because I can't cope with big ones that I never...

Hi all, I need to put some more music on to my i-pod and I was wondering what you listen to when you are at the Gym or exercising etc. I'm getting a bit bored with my stuff and need some ideas. Thanks Shorty x

Good luck with the weight loss and for whatever lies ahead for you. I'm sure you will be fine. x

Well done, that's a HUGE loss. Good luck for the next month. x

Pasta with a homemade low fat bolognaise sauce - loads of mushrooms, tomato etc. Side salad and NO garlic bread!!! WW lemon cheesecake - scrummy.

Hi Shazbo, If you can't indulge on a cruise celebrating your silver wedding anniversary when can you??? I'm glad you had a brilliant time and enjoyed all the lovely food. I'm sure you'll be back on track soon. Good luck Shorty

Hiya, Can you put me down for 7pounds please? Cheers Shorty

Chicken stir fry - delish!!!

Well done for going swimming I hope you enjoyed it. I think the first time is the hardest so it'll be easier from now on. I went lane swimming early this morning and it was lovely and quiet. I find the first 10 minutes or so really hard but once i get into the 'zone' as they say I quite...

Welcome back, glad you enjoyed your weekend away. I am very impressed that you only had a half portion of cheesecake - I don't know if I would be that strong. x

Well done!!! I lost 10 at my first weigh in as well. TOTM certainly plays havoc with the scales so hopefully you will notice a difference next week. Good luck. I love reading your posts they are so lively and inspiring. x

I had a small lean steak with mountains of veg. Fruit salad for pudding x

SNAP!!! I had roast beef with a mountain of veg. Stayed at home today but spent 30 mins on the treadmill this morning so feeling quite good.

I love swimming. I was a bit worried at first cos it had been so long since I had been and was very self concious but it was great. I try to go 2 or 3 times a week but it gets a bit expensive. I feel really good afterwards. Good to hear that you are getting on OK. Shorty

Yummm, sounds lovely. I'm having loads of veggies and a slice of roast lamb. For pudding I'm having a WW icecream cup. X

Thanks Kae, I'll give it a go - I'm not very good at this IT malarchy!!! cheers

Good Luck at the Gym and don't overdo it! Let us know how you get on. Shorty

Enjoy your break (especially the peace and quiet) I'm sure you will be fine. x

Hi,I'm with Skyegirl on this one. I have a prepaid annual prescription (but this only works out cheaper if you have more than one item a month e.g. Xenical + B.P Medication) otherwise I think it's about £8.00 per item. But like has already been said - cheaper than buying Alli. Shorty

I would defo recommend Xenical. I too have tried WW, SW, Herbalife etc but can not stick to it. My GP suggested I try Xenical because my blood pressure was sky high despite being on medication for years. Diabetes is also in my family so I took her advice and am really pleased I did. I have...

Good Luck Piink. I'm glad you'll still be posting on here though as you are amazing and reading your posts really has been inspiring for me. Thanks Shorty

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words. I have decided to follow your lead and post some of my targets for everyone to see so that I have to try and achieve them- here goes half a stone down - done (25/08/09):) a stone down 5% of body weight down stone and a half...

:woohoo:I am so chuffed!! Today was my first weigh in since starting with Xenical on 22nd July and I have lost 10lbs!!! I know it's early days and that I probably wont lose as much in the future but I haven't felt so positive and confident in years. My GP was really pleased and...

Dubai is amazing, you did really well only putting on 2lbs- well done!

Hi Vanda, Don't let it get you down we all have these mad binges and then feel bad about it. Like you say put it all behind you and start afresh tomorrow. Good Luck. Shorty

Well done on your brilliant weight loss Mistraldancer. I've only just started with Xenical and will be thrilled if I manage a loss like yours at my first weigh in. Fantastic!! All the best Shorty

Hi Piink, I started Xenical yesterday and this info is VERY helpful, I have to admit I was very confused until I read your post. Many thanks. Shorty
