Gosh...long for that elation Steph....well done you.

Most good gp's are horrified at the amount it costs to just take Alli so I think I you explain the situation they will be good. I went to my surgery for something completely unrelated to my weight and they chatted to me about my general health and then suggested I took the blue beauties if I...

whoops meant to type DELIA!

Hi Starlight Love cake too...and birthday cake is important...particularly 18th. If you do a google search for low fat cake recipes there are some you can try, including a fat free sponge...not sure on this one...but if you like carrot cake Deli does a lovely one....

Thank you girlies for listening to my moans! I knew I would find the support I needed for refocusing my attitude. Last couple of days have been better. The only forgiveness I needed to seek was from myself, I am only letting myself down after all. Think I have accepeted it now and am ready to...

I have the same prob this month. Surgery not able to see me before tabs run out....as it is with the nurse earliest appointment is next weds, 4 days out of tabs.

Hi Jackie... I am just jumping in here so excuse me! The fat content is good to follow and regarding the calories, many people on here advise logging into fitness pal which gives a free calorie count according to the info you input. Don't think it necessarily takes into account the medication...

Hi gillian as others have said welcome to Xenical. I have been taking it for just over month now and have not experienced the ugly side effects that others have had...went to the doctor for reductil as it had been suggested before when I was still breastfeeding and they would prescribe it when...

Sarah...I am kinda in the same boat as at just over 20st to start with I lost on average 3lbs each week in my first month. I had hoped it would be more as the changes I have made I thought would warrent it. However, if you look more long term, think about that average amount in 3 months time and...

Hi and welcome Berri I have only recently started Xenical myself and it has been a successful beginning for me. I have been very fortunate not to need the adult diapers and have tried hard to watch my fat intake. I wish you every success on this medication as you have had on the reductil...

Wow Laura...you must be really pleased with that. have to admit I haven't taken my measurements and perhaps should have as they say sometimes you trim up on the shape rather than the weight don't you. Last week not too bad for me and lost another 3lbs so a total of 13lbs just under the stone...
