    no thats not good, definatly speak to them about it :) But even if you do have to come off it, you could still do the 5% rules :) it may be something not related to xenical. I didn't have anxiety but I had a headache dizzyness and lights which I thought was related to Xenical but I went to...

    How Often do you weigh?

    I weigh once a week at boots, if I had scales in the house I'd be weighing everyday (probably more) and would get dis-heartened if I didn't lose or went up during the week. I got rid of my scales lol
  20. AmyE

    Opps

    I'd take one, there has been research into people taking too much xenical and they say it just causes more side effects. I break off a strip of three a day though because I'm terrible remembering if I've taken one or not x

    Christmas

    I'm have small portions of food which I really want. We're going to my parents for christmas day so I'll have a christmas dinner but I'll have a bit of stuffing and will probably make my own roast potatoes with frylight to take with me. I'm not stopping taking my tablets though.

    Do you count calories too?

    Hi, I don't religiously count calories but if I'm hungry during the day and havn't used my daily fat allowance (I plan main meals a day in advance) I'll work out how calories I've had and will be having , and count for snacks if needed.
  24. AmyE

    to coke or not to coke?

    I've had no problems with it, but I'm not sure of the sugar content in it. Some days, if i'm at my mums house I have about 2 cans and I've been ok. But don't give up the water, it is better for you :)

    I have some ryvita mini's (0. something grams of fat) per bag, I like the salt and vinegar ones because I was missing crisps.

    End of first month weigh in

    and I've lost 9lb, it doesn't sound that much in a month, but I'm happy with it considering i've not been able to get to the gym as much as I'd of liked to. The dr wants me to lose 4lb a month, and I've gone over that, so got my pills for next month :)

    Xenical and combining with other diets.

    Hi there are a few people doing the WW plan, the only thing you have to watch is food which is allowable as 'points' as you still have to stick to the 15g of fat per meal, and 5g of fat per 100g of product. Same with SW, I'm also not sure if eggs are listed as allowable foods but some people...

    dont think it works

    Hi :) it takes about 3 weeks for Xenical to get into your system, so you may not notice much until then. A lb is still good though and it could pick up. If your not getting any side effects, it means your being good :) Are you drinking enough water? xx

    I'd be worried that if I ate more calories on one day then the other (such as the judddd) that the body would be knocked out of ketosis (which takes me a week to get back into if I have a set back) so will not be burning the fat gained on the up day. Also if the body is starved one day and...

    As long as you don't drink large amounts (say 2 litres) at one time, I think you can have as much as you want, just make sure its spread out over the day/evening. I have it during the day though, because if I had it in the evening I'd have to sleep on the toilet lol

    What is motivating you all this week?

    What motivated me to do this diet was that I am going to see a consultant about surgary, and I wanted to lose as much weight as possible (I had planned on being at least 12 stone before I saw him, but the appointments come through alot sooner then I thought it would) and that breast cancer is...

    I wasn't too keen on the choc mint one (I may have put too much water in so will try with less today) but they taste better then other meal replacement shakes that I've had in the past and they fill me up (which no other shakes have) and thats the most important thing for me :)

    adding more water to shake packs/tetras

    I've not started yet but have done Celebrity Slim before which involved shakes, I've noticed that some people add more water to the tetras or packs to make them go a bit further... does this make them watery and weak, or do they still taste ok?

  224. AmyE

    How much does the cambridge plan cost per week?

    I'll ring the other local consultants and ask their prices as it does seem a big jump from £30-£40 which I thought it would be. She just said that there were different plans and that the sole source is £50
  225. AmyE

    How much does the cambridge plan cost per week?

    I phoned my local consultant today and she's said £50 per week for SS so I'm doing the next step which has a protien and veg meal, as its £37 so a bit cheaper

    How much does the cambridge plan cost per week?

    I'm very interested in the Cambridge diet but worrying whether I can afford it or not. I've seen somewhere that it is about £35 per week but does that include the meal replacements or is that just the cost to see the consultant each week and then you buy the products on top? Many Thanks Amy xx
