    Xenical info for New Starters!!..

    Hi all - I have been on xenical since last year and have lost nearly 1.5 stone and found it relatively easy. Have had no side effects but then have stuck to the 5g fat per 100g and if you stick to that it is fine. Now going to start exercising on my Wii Fit to give myself a boost. Good luck to...

    Hello to everyone

    Andrea's Diary (Fraggle1805)

    2lbs is fantastic in a week - that would be 8 lb in a month which is half as stone and after 6 months would be 3 stone lost so feel good and proud and it is best to lose slowly than quickly so chin up and as Kitty said onwards and downwards. Anyway just think it could have been 2lbs on !!!!!!!

    Am I eating too little Fat

    I agree Kitty but reading some posts on here I think people think eating small amounts means large weight loss but it does not have to be if you add things like Branston, picallily and beetroot to salads as very little calories and hardly any fat. Thing I do miss is salad cream as never...

    Ideas for snacks

    Hi Dawney and I know what you mean biscuits can be so tempting. I have a fruit bowl in my office and just tuck into that.

    Positive thinking - how this can help

    Hi I am only on day 5 of taking xenical but have decided to use same process on here as when I joined a no smoking site.

    Help

    Best advice is to get back on as soon as possible but like Kitty has said you are probably still losing it but not as much and the trouble is the longer you leave going back on the worse it will seem. I have lost weight in the past on diets but use to have naughty days which led into more...

    New and just confused

    Thanks all for your comments it really does help. I probably use to eat low fat things anyway i.e. mullerlights, fruit, low fat spread, skimmed milk etc but now on the tablets it is making me not eat, cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc which is what we should not eat anyway if we want to be healthy...
