Another 4lbs off for me :)

Thanks for the feedback ladies I think cals are definately the key. As I said when I was on scottish slimmers it was recommended that my cals were 1800 a day (and I lost weight on that) that is why I started with that and am decreasing them and like Rach said I weigh more than most (if not all...

Hey hun Yep use MYF every day (missed a couple of days during the week), am down to inbetween 1400-1600 calories (but according to ww or SS etc I should be on 1800-1900, not sure if that is a factor). Not managing 2 litres every day but drink a good 1.5 ltrs most days. I have started cutting...

Oh dear 2 weeks since I checked in!! In my defense I am back at work now from maternity leave and tbh I'm shattered by nightime, it will take me a while to get back into the swing of things again. I also have a new role so that has been a bit stressful. Anyway things aren't going well just...

Hi 3lbs off for me :) 10lbs to go!

Aw I have a 4.5 wee one too but a girl, she has NEVER had an accident to speak of.......my wee man though is a proper little boy, he is an absolute joy but oh boy he is going to be hard work at times when he is older LOL! I'm feeling really tired just now, just a combination of things I...

Eeep been 6 days since I last posted so just checking in. Back to work from maternity leave this week so that was a bit of a shock to the system. Diet wise things are going ok have missed brekkie the last 2 mornings since being back at work, just need to get back into a routine again...

I want to eat (rubbish) today :( it's the first time I've felt like this. I've done my wii active and drinking lots of water but that feeling wont shift. I suppose this is the test......how much will power do I have :o Doesn't help that DD has been desperate to bake so hubby is going to do...

Can you update mine as well please hun, I've lost 5lbs with 13lbs to go. Thanks x

OMG I know I shouldn't but hahahahaha......sorry:o

Mmmm nice one, would be good for a treat every now and again :) I have discovered pitta bread pizzas and they are so good, my wee one loves making them with me and likes putting on her own ingredients. They probably aren't within the rules as I still use a bit of cheese, although not much...

Well I stayed the same so happy with that as it means I have actually lost nearly half a stone (although didn't take proper weight with clothes on when I weighed myself when I started again last week so have taken a guesstimate for my stats and ticker). Nurse was ok this time and she did...

Weigh day for me today, I know I will have stayed the same even though I've actually lost about 7lbs since last Tuesday but not sure how the nurse will take to that if I haven't lost anything since my last WI a month ago :( Oh well can't do anything about it now I knew what would happen if I...

I'm looking into get Just Dance 2 would you recommend it? I have the Wii active and it is really good, not got round to using it again but I will :o (when I find the bits and pieces I need for it).

hahahahah!!!

Eeeep 5 days :eek: you must have been in agony LOL!! That's ok then, just used to 'going' more often during the day but I never feel bunged up or anything. Thanks :)

Well done!! It is a great feeling and gives you the motivation to keep going at it. I am looking forward to that again :)

Ok I've been swithering wether to post this or not but as i know there is never TMI here I'll just ask :D If you are sticking to the rules, how often do you go to the toilet (a number 2). OMG I can't believe I have just asked that now it is written down ROFL!!! The thing is since starting I...

Aw lexie thank you that made me :) I read OP's diaries and I know what you mean lol ;) I did have a sneaky wee peek on the scales this evening around the time when I would be roughly getting weighed on Thursday and I'm down to what I was before Xmas so i'm very happy I have a few more days...

Not really much to report but I think, for me it's important to keep my diary up, even if nobody else reads it LOL. A bit of a manic day, baby brain again and I forgot my daughter had a birthday party to go to (thought it was tomorrow). At 11am text one of the Mums from nursery who informed...

It must have been another diet I am thinking of then :) She goes for 5% per meal rather than per 100gs. I actually picked up her magazine today, forgot about it until just now, there are lots of recipes in it.

I followed her diet years ago (yep i have tried them all LOl!!) and used to go to a class which had exercise built into it which is a great idea. I remember the 5g rule thing from then although I'm pretty positive her rule was 5g of saturated fat meaning that the total fat could be slightly higher.

The calories confuses me tbh, I have never really followed calories, usually fat or carbs or points/checks. If I go my Scottish slimmers or WW's I would be allowed 1800 calories for my weight but I do find it difficult to consume all these. Will adjust MFP I think and try maybe 1600 to start and...

Thanks hun I'm trying LOL, once I get this WI over and done with I'll feel better I think and 5% is 14lbs so totally doable in the next 2 months! That is an amazing weight loss from you, well done!! How many calories are you eating a day?

It is soooo nice to be back on track, well I'm nearly there, just need to cut back on the carbs. I had a sneaky weigh in so have lost 2lbs in 2 days, am desperately hoping to get down to at least what I was before Christmas by next Thursday when i have my WI. I can't actually believe how much...

Erm chicken of some description and we have to use peppers up so will throw together a concotion. I need to cut back on my carbs again, eating farrrr to many!

Thanks Lexie :) Oh it is soooo nice to be back on track and feeling good again, all that junk makes you feel so bleurgh doesn't it!!

Oh no I missed this :( Can I join in too please? If I have 13 weeks until Easter I will go for a goal of 18lbs

Curried mince and pasta with sprouts LOL a very odd combo but ooooh so good!

So the choccies/crisps/treats etc etc are all done (well the kids still have theirs but wont be touching them) so I am officially back on the wagon. :D Weighed myself this morning so have put on a few lbs as expected but have over a week to try and lose it until weigh day but I'm going to be...

Oh dear things haven't been going well, have totally gone off the rails this week. Had my night out and it appears that I can no longer handle my drink :D Really haven't stuck to my diet this week and I am really disappointed in myself, I thought I was stronger than this but I am desperate to...

Cool I drink voddy and diet coke anyway......probably wont be able to drink much though, will have become a light weight no doubt lol!!

Thanks Lexie, it made me feel better. I know I'm in this for the long haul but it's going to be even longer if the weight doesn't shift LOL!! Anyway it is unofficial weigh day and I am 2lbs down, so according to my scales I have lost 5lbs since being on the tablets (2 1/2 weeks) which is ok...

So I have been on Xenical for 2 weeks now and if I'm trully honest I am feeling completely deflated and pretty down :( not sure what I was expecting, miracles maybe? If I'm honest I thought i would lose a lot of weight (given the size I am) pretty quickly but to date I have lost 5lbs according...

Well done on your weight loss and I agree with the others that is a great loss in a month, we all want to lose the weight quickly but doing it slowly is the sensible thing no matter how frustrating it is. I would also say that 800 calories is waaaaay to low. Not only is it not really good...

I have started taking the full dose of Orlistat now and I must say last night was interesting. Woke up during the night to visit the toilet and had a bit of tummy pain. Had a bit of diahorrea (sp?) this morning, not orange though but I was unsure if I was going to be ok sitting on a bus for an...

Ah right, thanks for that just helps me understand it a bit more and never TMI LOL!! :D

Yeah I started the 120mcg with my main meal last night.

*sniggers* Glad you enjoyed it :)

Fantastic thanks for that, the crisps would be great as a treat now and again :)

I found it, it was in my alli book which I got with the 60mcg tablets, maybe it's different for Orlistat/Xenical but it is 3g of total fat.....will just ignore that then and stick with the 5gs

Oh right, I'm sure I read it was 5g per 100g for meals but 3g for snacks?? Will have to see where I read that then. Pretzels would be good thanks for that! :)

Fantastic thread thank you!! One question though, I understand that the tablets block the fat so even if you don't have any of the nasty side affects are the tablets still working iyswim, or do they only work at blocking the fat if you have more fat than allowed? Not sure if that makes sense LOL

I have been round the supermarket today trying to find some snacks which stay within the 3g rule but have been having trouble with it! Ok I know fruit and veg are the best snacks to have but just for something a treat every now and again. Can anyone help pretty please, oh and I appear to be...

Feeling a bit more chilled out today lol!! I will see who I get the next time and if I get her and she's the same I will ask for a different nurse in future. I got my hubby to take photos last night and oh dear me!! Hey let's face it I know I'm huge but I did get a shock :o hopefully that is...

Oooh I'm excited about this have had a think so my goals for 2012 are: To get to 19 stone by the end of April To get to 16 stone by the end of August To get to 14 stone by the end of December Wow that seems a lot of weight 7 stones in a year?? Should be totally doable!

Grrrrr I'm so flipping pee'd off, went to get weighed and as expected I haven't moved, I was weighed at 8.40am the first time and 4.45pm today so of course there is going to be no change. The nurse was ok but i felt she was so negative "oh you've not lost anything" well no of course it's not...

Eeeep it's weigh day!!! I have weighed myself on my own scales and I am 3lbs down in 10 days :D ok a couple of more lbs would have been better but it's an ok start. Will get weighed later by nurse so will be interesting to see what her scales say. Will report back ;)

Aw that's pants Lexie :( Surely your friend knows you're trying to lose weight so she should be supporting you. Ok she obviously wasn't thinking about it when she promised her son a trip to Pizza Hut but she shouldn't take a strop because you have said you don't want to go as you don't want to...

Aw thanks Lexie that made me :) x

It's weigh day tomorrow and tbh I'm not feeling all that optimistic, I 'feel' like I've lost weight but the scales aren't showing it :( this hasn't been helped with the fact that I have had to totally give up breast feeding my wee one since starting Orlistat and my hormones are all over the...

Yeah I never eat processed food as it tastes like c**p lol and scratch cook everything but it was a one off I just have to see what works and doesn't work for me.

Thanks Lexie and LOL it is at least 15 years for me too! I think it was the beef curry I made that done it, I thought it would have been ok tbh as there was no fat on the beef (or very little) and it was just made with veg and stock and a tin of toms :confused:. It happened once today this...

I have decided to start a diary as this is going to be a loooong journey, looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better. :) So I have been on Orlistat for 8 days now and was doing ok until yesterday when I got the dreaded orange oil and then had more today :o In a way I was glad...

Eeeeek!!:eek: Have been experiencing the dreaded orange oil today for the first time (spoke to soon yesterday ;)). Is it bad that in a way I was pleased to see it as I know the tablets are working LOL!!!:o Will just wait until Thursday and see what nurse says, I will get a new prescription...

Thanks Lexie for clearing that up, that's a bit annoying though, I would rather have waited another day or 2 to get the proper dose!! :rolleyes: Thanks also for the welcome everyone it's nice to know we are all in this together :)

Hi everyone just thought I would check in to say that things are going well, I've had not side affects whatsoever and so far finding it a dawdle (I know that can change in the next few weeks though ;)). I know the tablets aren't a appetite suppressant but they almost seem to be working like...

Hi there :D I am going to follow Scottish slimmers as I have been following that already and keeping a note of what I'm eating, I'm just hoping that I can stick to it as much as possible in as much that the fat content will be ok, it tends to count calories rather than fat but I'm sure once i...

Hi there :wavey: Just thought I would pop in and introduce myself, I am going to be starting orlistat tomorrow and am a bit wary and excited in equal measures! Bit of backround, have been overweight for as long as i can remember and have been dieting for years and years.....tried them all to...

Hi! I have found this to be one of the easiest diets ever and I have tried loads of them. I needed a diet eventually, which was limiting me to what I was allowed to have as i found it too easy to cheat on the others thinking that I would just cut back my points/checks etc the rest of teh week...

Hi everyone! Goodness this is a really quiet forum! How is everone getting on? Well my first 8 weeks are up and I have lost 32Ibs! Still have a long way to go but over the moon, this diet really works!

Another 5Ibs lost this week-16Ibs in 3 weeks i can't beleive it! Having a really hard day today-i am so hungry and just want to eat junk but I know I will suffer for it I think its because its totm! I will not give in to temptation!

thanks-lost another 2Ibs this week I will admit I was a wee bit disappointed with that due to the decent fluid loss the week before. How are you getting on?

Done my first weigh in yesterday (was going to do it on Saturday but couldn't wait) and I have lost 9ibs this week!!!! Really chuffed!

Thanks for that will have a look. Hows it going for you anway?

Hi there. Glad things are going well for you. I'm a bit confused about the Avidlite shakes as I e mailed the rep (Sarah) to ask her to explain how they should be used and she said that avidlite is not a diet and the products should be used as part of other diets i.e. Atkins. What I...

Thank you so much for your reply-is this normally a quiet forum? I started today but find the products so sweet especially the bars!! I am determined to stick at it though, was just wondering though how Avidlite worked I have heard the shakes are not as sweet. I have a weeks worth of CS and...

Hi everyone!:wavey: After much consideration I have decided to take the plunge and go for it. A wee bit of background, well I am 32 and have always been overweight. I have tried countless diets but I can never keep at it. I piled the weight on after I had my baby 2 years ago, I actually...

Hi there I have not started using CS yet, just reading up as much about it as I can as it is a lot of money to spend, but I think your post has been the inspiration I need. I have a lot of weight to lose (realistically at least 10 stone!!!!!) and I think I need something pretty drastic to get...
