Thanks so much - I'm suprised i didn't put weight on. You're doing so well! Very impressive! Thanks for the support :) x

I wasn't looking forward to getting weighed today as I really went to town over Christmas and New Year. Thankfully I have stayed the same as last time and not put any weight on! (You'll all know that I don't want to know my weight!). Bacck on the straight and narrow now.Getting back into...

I've been taking the pills even when I have relaxed the rules but I haven't seen 'agent orange'! I'm really worried that it isn't working anymore or I have too much in my system. I've been very constipated for ages. anyone else experience this? (I've been on it for about 8months) x

Good on you girls. I'm totally back on it now. I get very depressed at this time of year for various reasonsand have really indulged lately. I don't weigh myself but feel bloated and out of shape. Had a cream cake today and felt so crap after eating it but couldn't stop myself. I didn't even...

Good luck to you too. I don't think that thin people realise how hard it is to lose weight! I feel a bit thick around the waist at the mo but I have been indulging rather a lot at various parties and at my birthday this week. I'm going to have a few treats on xmas day, then am back on the...

HI girls, I hope you're all doing well and that weight is melting off you all! Have been very naught over the last few weeks and been treating myself a bit too much - no nasty orange suprises which is suprising & a relief! Do you think my system has got used to it and it's not working? Got...

Thanks girls! I'm so happy, I'm finally getting rid of the weight in a healthy way and will NEVER let it come back on! The feeling of fitting into lovely clothes that I never thought I would, is wonderful. Good luck to all of you, and I'll kee you updated xxxxx:D

Hi everyone Got weighed today and my total loss is 1 stone 6 pounds! I've been on Orlistat about 4months and have cheated a bit, and drank a lot, but am going in the right direction! I've had a few bulimic episodes but am getting help for that. I work out at least an hour a day and have...

:pMango sizing is insane! I've been losing weight steadily but clothes in my wardrobe that fit me run from a 12 to a 20-it's unbelievable! I haven't got a bloody clue what size I am! I bought a Mango top & dress from Asos. The lace top has no stretch and is a Large (size 12!) and fits like a...

Thanks. I think I need to! :)

Thanks for your support. The first month shows that it does work for me. I have to now work on my calories/cutting down on booze etc :) At least I didn't put any on! I'm quite constipated at the moment and my period is due, so I'm hoping that these factors may have prevented a weight loss. But...

Hi, I posted a similar message earlier but am keen to speak to someone. At the end of my first weigh in I lost 9lbs. Today, at the end of the second month, I lost NOTHING! :cry: I don't get it at all. I'm a lot thinner, have had to chuck loads of clothes out and feel/look very toned. My...

I lost 9lbs after my fist month on Xenical. I went for my 2nd month weigh in and have lost NOTHING! :cry: I haven't cheated at all but had lots of wine. My doctor though it was very odd as even she had noticed I had lost a lot. She did say that it could be because I have been doing a lot of...

How did you get on? I hope it was a good loss! Let us know :)

Thanks everyone! I am really pleased with it now. I hope to lose the same or even a bit more by my next weigh in.Feel really positive and can't wait for that flat tummy! :)

Hi all. I had my first weigh in today after 4 weeks of Xenical and I have lost....9lbs! :) I was a bit disappointed but my doctor said that it was a good weight loss as it is slow and stready meaning I have a better chance of keeping it off. She told me that I had done really well- especially...

Thanks so much for the fantastic support-I'm really touched. I treated myself to some chocolate today and really enjoyed it. Previously I would have piled it down. I really enjoyed it and wanted a treat. I felt so crap last week because this drunk arsehold called me a fat *****. It didn't...

Thanks for the support. I feel a lot better today. I'm sure I have lost some weight but don't want to get my hopes up. I'm very impatient and know that 4 weeks isn't very long but I'm determined to go for it. I'll never go back to bulimia-I was just feeling sorry for myself. I'll keep you...

I'm 3 1/2 weeks into Xenical and am depressed. I feel that I haven't lost any weight. I noticed it a lot in my first week and my clothes do feel a bit bigger but I feel bloated and useless. I don't know my weight as I asked my doctor not to tell me, as I have a history of eating disorders, so...

Sorry! Would be happy to talk to you if you don't mind. How are you getting on? It's 2 weeks on Tuesday for me. I'm only getting weighed once a month by my doctor as I have a history of bulimia and think it would depress me too much. I have done my measurements though which wasn't pleasant but...

Hi girls. I've been on Xenical for almost 2 weeks and think I've been doing well. I can tell that I've lost some weight but am only getting weighed by the doctor once a month. However, I went to a party last night and got really pissed and depressed. I'm so angry myself as I bought 3 bars of...

Hi all. I've been on xenical for almost 2 weeks. i can tell that I've lost weight already but my doc is weighing me once a month as I don't want to know my weight as it will depress me (I've a history of eating disorders). I've been really cautious so far and just eating low fat convenience...

I've been on X for nearly 2 weeks and have just been concentrating on fat but eating wholemeal bread, rice & pasta. My doctor is weighing me once a month so I'm not obsessing too much. My real worry is low fat ready meals, cakes & biscuits. I read somewhere that these foods are rubbish as they...

It's my 7th day on Xenical tomorrow. I feel great. The constipation has stopped and all seems normal. I don't see orange poop but I assume I'm doing ok. My doc is only weighing me monthly as I've a history of bulimia & she knows I will freak out. My jeans nearly fell down tonight-it's crazy! I...

Thanks, I'll do it. I really hope this works for me! I'm determined! I'm still a bit constipated and have indigestion today. Can I ask a question? If Orlistat is working, will your 'deposits' be orange?! I don't mean the dreaded exposive orange oil with eating too much fat but the normal...

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I've been on Xenical for 4 days. I've been eating low fat, drinking lots of water and eating a lot of veg but I am very constipated! I haven't had any horror orange so I must be doing something right. I can tell that I have lost weight, especially in the...

Wow-you too! You're an inspiration. Are you sticking to Orlistat & low fat alone or are you counting calories, carbs etc? I'm sticking with the pills & low fat alone just now as I don't want to get bogged down with other stuff until I'm used to the low fat diet x:)

Day 4 and feeling great. I can tell I've lost weight already (especially in my face). I haven't had any awful side effects and am eating well. For the first time in many years, I am eating 3 regular meals a day and feel that I already am finally getting a healthy attitude to eating. And...

Hi everyone. I'm on day 4 of Orlistat & feel amazing. I'm eating low fat and feel amazing. I can see that I've lost weight already (especially on my face) and have had no side effects. The neon orange bathroom experience is interesting though so at least it shows it's working. I ate loads of...

Hi Starlight I'm taking the tablets but not following a specific plan. I'm using common sense and following a very low fat diet but avoiding too much sugar & food high in carbs at night. I had a tiny little cake today at my neighbour's house but it was actually very low in fat! Going good. I...

Thanks for your kind wishes. First day on Xenical seems ok with no unpleasant side effects! Feelin good and not like I'm on a 'diet'. This is really gonna work for me! Slim by Xmas! :D:D

First day on Orlistat seems ok- no mishaps! Have eaten really well (with hardly any fat) and don't feel deprived at all. I'm going to do it girls! Hope everyone else is going good too! :)

Well done to you ladies- you're inspirational! I'm starting on Orlistat tomorrow and am nervous and excited! I'm determined to do this for once and for all. I'm going to hang my thin clothes in the wardrobe to inspire me. I'm not going to panic too much about carbs and calories just now. It's...

Honestly, you're replies have almost made me cry. Thanks so much for your support, it really means a lot. Of course, I send you all good wishes back and hope you all have great success. It's so good knowing that there are so many people in the same boat to share with. I'm determind that I'll...

I'm new to the forum and am sick of being overweight! It's been a problem for all of my adult life and is just getting worse and worse. I had bulimia a few years ago so feel proud of myself that I've stopped it. I feel so stupid as I am an intelligent person who know about nutrition etc but...
