Hi Kitty, I am still here :D Had a very busy weekend and first day back at work today after a week off with kids so it was mad! Still doing great! Had my night out at a friends on Saturday and it was actually fine - she did indian meatballs and I just had 3 with some rice! Didnt get "told off"...

Hi Laura, its natural to be down now and then - as long as you pick yourself up and keep your eye on your long term goal! I have over 10 stone to lose and as you say, it didnt go on overnight, so it certainly aint gonna shift overnight (I wish!). I have messed around for years but I think I...

Day 9 and still going strong. Meal out with the girls went well. I did drive and just had penne pasta with roast peppers and a small amount of feta cheese. No side effects so must have been ok. Takes a while before people notice with me - probably be about 2-3 stone but I can tell in my face...

Sorry you are having a bad week - feel bad now for being so chirpy! However, I know I have bad days ahead if anything like all the other times I have tried, but I think this time I have got my head around the fact I am allowed the odd treat day - this is real life and we cant be perfect all the...

Hi Kitty - too right the old Ruth would have eaten them all in bed first thing!! But the new Ruth was fab and sent them packing! Then, and we need a drum roll please ...................... we went for a 2 hour walk around a huge reservoir which was beautiful - 10 minutes in I suggested we head...

Well, here I am on day 5 - feeling very positive still despite the blip this morning when hubby presented me with a box of Thorntons to say Happy Valentines Day - MEN!!! He got a telling off and apologised and has taken them away. Had a chat about being supportive, which he normally is, but...

Hi Kitty, like you I am new to this site and love it - its also keeping me very focussed and positive as I have been a dieter for nearly all my 41 years of life!! I have always started diets feeling positive but have never felt like this before - I truly believe I am going to do it this time so...

Hi Beth, welcome to the site - I am new this week too! On day 4 of Xenical and all going well at the moment! I have been overweight all my life and have missed out on so much - so make the difference now - and I love that saying from Kitty - "nothing tastes as good as being slim feels" - we are...

Hey, 2lbs is a bag of sugar - my sister once said to me years ago to put it in a carrier bag and carry it around all day - soon realise how much you have lost!! It worked! (didnt last all day - about half an hour!)

Your before pics look like me now so I am truly inspired - cant wait!! Well done you and thank you for making me feel positive about the long journey ahead xx

I have always felt I am judged because of my weight - people think we are lazy and some even think we are dirty (as in unclean!). Because of that I always feel like I should be apologising for things - if someone bumps into me - I say sorry because I am big and they are "normal!" I never give...

PK - well done on the 4 stone loss - I wish! Hoping for a good figure for my first weigh in next week! What effect does wine have with the little blue pill?

I watched a programme this week which was about healthy snacks for the kids and one was very similar to the chicken one above! She took small strips of chicken - rolled them in seasoned flour, then a mixture of milk, dijon mustard and paprika and rolled them in cornflakes - and baked for 20...

Hi Laura, welcome - I am also new this week and on day 3 - feeling very positive too. Alex - thanks for that posting - has really helped me too! I thought I had to stick to 5g per meal for some reason! Doh!

The trouble is one of the meals is the Cookery Teacher at my son's school. He has made friends with her son who also goes to the school and she has invited us around next Saturday - have only ever chatted on facebook to her so dont really know her and her husband and as its the first time of...

Hi - well Day 3 going equally well - discovered sushi today - never had it before because I thought it was raw fish but I had a chicken one from Tesco and it was yum! Followed by huge bowl of fresh pineapple - gorgeous lunch! For breakfast I had flakes with strawberries and a low fat yoghurt...

Hi Kitty - Day 2 has gone well! Its so surprising though just how much fat is in things - thought I was going to have a nice healthy spanish omlette for tea until I found out how bad they were - dont think the little blue pill will like that!! Also love pilchards on toast - thats a no no! Ended...

Half a stone is great - well done you! Cant wait for my first weigh in - is that wrong?? Anyway, just keep at it - as my darling hubby says - the weight didnt go on overnight so it aint coming off overnight - but WE WILL DO IT!!!!

I dont do any exercise really but I know I should as I believe the weight will come off quicker! My problem is I have a bad scar on my leg left from cellulitis and an ulcer which becomes very painful when I have stood/walked for more than 10-15 minutes. The only exercise that wouldnt put...

Hi Deem, thought I would say hello! I am new to the forum as from yesterday and started Xenical yesterday too! So far so good - you made me laugh with you "telling off" stories - not looking forward to that one! I am 41 and scared of a little blue pill!! Anyway, hope you are still getting on...

Hi, can I ask you experienced people whether you can take a day's break from the pill if you are having a special meal out? Or will you still get the side effects? Thanks, Ruth (Day 2 going well!)

Hi Gillian, just reading your story - I have started today just a few days after you! I tried reductil last year but it made me very depressed! Day one of Xenical today and cannot believe how focussed it has made me - think its the worry of the side effects! But its exactly what I need - like...

Well done Sophie - hope I lose the same in my first month!! I have set myself a goal of 2 stone in 7 weeks which seems a lot but I have a lot to lose and it should come off quicker in the first few weeks!! Then hoping to shed at least 2lb a week - is that achievable??

Hi, I have just discovered this forum today. I have got over 140lbs to lose - sounds very daunting at the moment! I know its going to be a long journey and I know the key is to get some exercise - which is where I have failed before! Love this site and hope it helps keep me on track. Thanks xx

How funny - just replied to one of your threads - I am new to this and not sure what I am doing! How do you put your goals on - is it just a case of editing what you have written? Ps - 831 kids? Thankfully no - just the two!! 831 is a code for I Love You - 8 letters, 3 words, 1 meaning!

Hi, we have very similar stories except I have a lot more weight to lose - but as the title to my first thread was "first day of the rest of my life" - thought it was spooky that you used the same phrase. We are the same age, same aged kids and same feelings about not wanting to make them feel...

Hi my name is Ruth and this is my first day on Xenical! I am a yoyo dieter but my health has taken a turn for the worse, being diagnosed with Diabetes and an underactive thyroid! Time to turn my life around, for the sake of my kids! I am very nervous about using the tablets and like many of you...
