Our bodies are strange machines, years of dieting takes it's toll and unsettles the balance, you have to stick with it as its a LOT healthier than a VLCD and better for you. Just change your mind set and like it says " The weight took a longtime to put on so it aint coming off quickly!" Stick...

How do you cope when you first start? I love my cups of tea, Tetley :) and bread, always have wholemeal, so am just wondering??? :confused: As you can see I am a bit 'scared' at the moment, just trying to find out as much as i can before my books arrive. :sigh: Also pasta??? I love my...

Will do Jim, am going shopping today to be armed and ready for when my books arrive :)

Hello everyone! Well have ordered the books and am ready to gooooo! Going to give Atkins a go, never fancied it before but have changed my mind :) Will I still be able to do exercise on Atkins? Am looking forward to starting and chatting to you all :)

Breadcake here in West Yorkshire :)

Thanks Michelle :) x

I have a couple of pieces of trout and I wondered if you lovely people could give me a few ideas regarding cooking it and what with, am not a fish eater and am a bit clueless as to what flavours are ok. Thanks in advance you kind peeps :)

Thanks! Thats a fab website! :) x

I am just having a shake for breakfast, hm soup and roll for dinner then my evening meal, i am also having a shake mid afternoon for when hunger strikes but i am on a 1500 calorie diet plus exercise so am just tailoring it for my needs hth

Haha love crunchy veg, thanks will look out for em! :) x

Nice, I am only having 1 shake a day, for breakfast, thats the time i need something lol not doing it strictly to the letter but as using it as a crutch atm :) x

Hi folks, was just wondering if any of you add anything else to your shakes? I firstly use 1/2 semi sk milk and 1/2 water then I add a tblsp of 0% fat free greek yogurt, it has a good protein content and it makes the shake really creamy, I drink the vanilla powder shakes, I factor the extra...

I go do something, running a bath, sorting the washing lol anything to keep me busy, go for a walk :) HTH I feel your pain x

Hannah Waterman's Body Blitz [DVD] [2009]: Amazon.co.uk: DVD I have this too, its good, just bought the 30 day shred to start alternating with

Awww thanks for this chuck, will honestly give WW another go along with the Xenical, thanks for this :) x

Thanks will give this a go :) x

She just said to maybe think about exercising more and try cutting out snacks and eating 5 or 6 small meals, been there done it, so dunno where to go now x

Thanks peeps, feeling a bit down about where I go from here as i was pinning my hopes on this succeeding. Where do you go when you have tried everything going lol x

Tried every diet going lol thinks its going to have to be good ole healthy eating and exercise hmph lol

Yeah nothing else lost x

Hi folks, Xenical isnt working for me, I might as well save myself the 7.20 and do it without. Am a bit sad about it but relieved as i thought i was doing something wrong.

Thats great news! Well done chuck! :) x

Well done chuck! :) xx Keep it up! x

Thanks for posting this chuck :) You have reminded me to see the bigger picture :) xxx

So pleased for you chuck, you have come so far!!! :) xxxx

Hi Kez, going ok ta, trying to stay positive but the blue tabs are keeping me on the straight and narrow lol, hope you are ok? x

Hi chuck, am doing ok ta, yeah you are spot on, it just feels just a uphill battle and wasnt helped with losing only 6lb in the first month was hoping for more but nevermind lol Am taking one day at a time and trying to be happy about the weightloss so far, its only early days but i guess its...

Well done you! :)

Thanks everyone, its so hard to think positive lately :( x

Yeah its slowly grinding me down, dunno why but it just is. Trying to stay positive but to no avail, any tips really welcome please :( x

I lost 6lbs so 2lbs to go :)

I use these tablets as a deterrant, my pre Xenical diet was fine while at home but am a self emplyed van driver and as you can imagine eating on the run all the time = junk food, KFC was my poison, i must admit these tablets are giving me the room to think about wjhat i eat and keep me on the...

Great stuff! Lucky you it took me 4 weeks to lose 6lbs lol :) Well done chuck x

Stick with it chuck, it will pay dividends :) xx :gen126:

Yeah me too, low fat cheese no effects :) x

Yeah better to be safe chucks :) Can affect peepes differently x

No its not, Xenical only remains in the intestines,never enters the bloodstream so can never affect the neuro at all x

Always remember, 1lb of fat is a great achievement girls! :) xx

It does keep the chicken moist by boiling

One Pound of Fat Hello! Do you know me? If you don’t, you should. I am ONE POUND OF FAT, and I am the happiest pound of FAT that you would ever want to meet! Want to know why? It’s because no one ever wants to lose me! After all, I am only ONE POUND OF FAT. Just ONE POUND. Everyone wants to lose...

Know how you feel chuck but I am using them more as a deterrent, I need that lol As long as I am not eating the crap that got me into this state I am happy :) I am not that good at counting my calories, prefer the fat intake at this stage but if it works for you and you can stay focused you do...

haha migh do the same with mine lol x

Hahaha well that could be bad news tho LMAO :) x lol

Thanks everyone, have realised that -6lb is a good result, more likely fat than fluid so am pleased :) Thanks for all your kind words xx

Thanks you two xx

Yeah suppose, nurse was over moon lol she said 6 loss is really good at this stage, i wanted more tho! On a happy note she said I can eat my porridge :D

Went for my first WI since starting Xenical a month or so ago and -6lb :(

Great about the smoking too Celtgirl! I am into my 8th month of stopping after 24 years of smoking, if i can do it so can you! Keep it up chuck :) xxx

Hi Celtgirl, I did feel sick first few days but it has settled down now, as for feeling down, no. I dont know if the tablets cause that as they do not enter the bloodstream or alter anything neuro, thats my understanding of the workings of the tablet, all they do is go from your stomach to the...

Well been a bad day for my van hmph, all sorts wrong but got em sorted finally! Costing me a fortune so today I worked for nothing really :/ Nevermind, thats life! :) BREAKFAST Cornflakes, ssk milk, wholemeal slice, marmalade, smidge flora light LUNCH 2 Small wh bap, 2 slice lean ham...

Sounds like you are doing great Celtgirl!! :D x

:gen126: Awww hope you are feeling a bit better soon Penguin, know how you feel my friend, its a long hard journey we have undertaken and we are going to hit some obsticals along the way but with determination and remembering why we are doing this will hopefully ease the hard times somewhat :)...

Think I will Penguin, and will use lettuce leaves for wraps and do a tomato and onion salsa, thanks chuck! :) xx

I bought a smaller plate Penguin, that has really helped me with my portion control x

Right then, been off work for a couple of day, self employment sucks sometimes :/ anyway yesterday was a bummer but today has started in a more positive vein :) Made a big pan of green lentil and veg soup, just had some tastes nice :) So going to snack on that i think today lol :) BREAKFAST...

Well done Downsizeme! Hope I can jump on your weightloss train soon! haha xx

I am back at docs this Thursday so am going to have a chat to her, have been thinking of calorie counting past couple of days as i dont think i am eating enough. So frustrating for me makes me upset that it doesnt seem to be working :( x

Thats my problem tho gonna, no change on scales so far :( x

I am same as you Penguin, cant make sense of it, I am also worried they are not working as i keep reading that they dont work for everyone x

Am so glad you commented on my original post, thanks sooo much. I hope I can help you keep motivated to stay on track :) You have given me such a boost! thanks again xx

Good luck! :) xx

WOW! Thats fantastic! Well done to you! I can understand what you mean about coming to terms with your smaller size, i feel like i am scared to lose weight!!! Dont know if that makes sense, it drives my hubby round the bend, he hates the fact i cant just look forward to being healthy and...

Go girl! Sounds yum! :) x

Thanks for this :) Are you still losing weight tho? Even tho you have fallen of the track? x

I personally use the principle that 2 small roasties is good for me and same with chicken breast, as long as there is no skin, no visible fat and its grilled or roasted without fat it will be ok, so far this principle has suited fine :)

Hello Gonna, am there on Thurs this week, am going to have a good ole chat with her lol x

Awwww glad you are ok chuck, have a good time tonight! Enjoy your ww meal :) x

I feel you pain! lol am back on it now so am booting you up the backside lady! lol

Did ok really considering lol set off at midnight back at 4:45pm lol :)

My Mum uses sunflower frylight for the roasties and they are yummy :) x

Thanks peeps :) x

Well as you might know I had a lapse in concentration yesterday and was struck by temporary insanity and i had a 4 finger kitkat, then today......nothing, zilch, could it be the tablet isnt working for me??? I dont seem to have lost any weight in the 3 week i have been on a low fat diet and...

Orate chucks! :) Early start for me this morning but early finish so am glad :) BREAKFAST Slice wh toast, flora light, jam, cuppa LUNCH Chilli bean soup, cuppa DINNER HM wedges, egg, beans 1 large skinny latte As much water as i can get throughhhhh lol Am doing a delivery to...

You look fantastic! You have achieved sooo much! Such an inspitation :) x

Thanks Celtgirl, motivation is still there its just the fact i dont 'feel' like i have lost weight, not dwelling on it tho just trying to stick at it :) x Hope you are well x

GREAT!!! :D x

Haha yeah know what you mean! It does settle down after the first couple of weeks :) x

I dont, end of lol thats why i am on these tablets, but the bingeing is creeping back so am going to start writing how i feel down and have a word with nurse on Tues, if i do snack and am being good i will have a yogurt or some tinned fruit.

I was the same for first couple of weeks, what helped me was having a small bowl of tinned fruit and Activia pouring yogurt, got me moving next morning :) It works for me x

Another long day for me today but was a good day, good mood :) 1 cup ready brek 1/2 cup ssk milk tea chicken sandwich from waitrose on malted bead, 4.2/100g, botle water. HM chicken curry, 1 cup brown rice 2 large skinny lattes 1 orange and lemon muffin, low fat, only ate half kitkat...

oops! Hope you are ok now chuck :) x

Thanks chuck, have told Mum to just do what we are all doing on here, 5/100g 15g and 45g per day x

The cup is 250 mls, I use it for all my 'not sure how much' foods :o It says on a site i use that 195g of cooked brown rice is 216 calories and 2 grammes of fat hth :)

I am Mum, this thread was from other week :) x

Me too, find it hard to 'snack' on healthy stuff :( Ohhhh I love iced gems! Forgot about those, will have to stock up :)

Right, today has been a bit of a struggle but handled it best i could :) Long days driving brings on boredom = binge :( Well I chose best I could, ended up with a packet of eat smart carrot cake slices, damage limitation i guess hmph BREAKFAST 1 cup ready brek, 3/4 cup ss milk. cuppa tea...

I had 1 cup tagletelli and 1 cup bolognese sauce made with extra lean mince, left over from other nights tea :) followed by WW choc mousse :)

WW choc mousse is lush :) lol

I use an american cup size of cooked brown rice, use that same cup for measuring my pasta and potatoes too :)

When i make dips now i use fat free natural yogurt, fresh corriander chopped, squirt lemon juice salt and pepper, or i make a tomto salsa, chopped red onion, chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped corriander, squirt lime juice black pepper x

Wondered as I have been thinking about trying to cut carbs down but not sure about how it works lol

1 cup cooked rice not uncooked, does that make any difference? x 216 calories and 2g of fat per cup cooked brown rice, is that ok for a meal like chilli and rice or curry do you think? Or too much?

Well i only have rice about once a week so will cut the amount down, I also bought a smaller plate and that seems to be working out ok for me now, am full on less than i used to eat, so am pleased with that :)

Thats what I thought, am going to tell her to do the 5g/100g and 45g like i do, just wondered if anyone else had been told the same as mum. Thanks peeps :) x

Some great ideas for me here ladies! Thanks :) Keep em coming! :D

You must be disiplined Holliekin! :) Good idea for me to try there! Ta chuck x

How have you overcome the nemisis Celtgirl? x

Hi peeps just wanted to ask.... How do you all control the urge to snack? I am terrible in the evening and most afternoon, I used to eat loads of chocolate and have KFC alot, think i was addicted actually :rolleyes: anyway, I am trying to control the urge to snack, the tabs are helping me stop...

Hi folks, My Mum went to get the tablets today as she wants to lose weight since stopping smoking. She is 62 years old and am really proud of her for stopping :) Now the nurse told her no more than 3g/100g and 67g of fat per day, is this because of her age do you think?

Are you doing low carb downsize me? x

No all I have is a cup full, use the american cups to measure out potatoes, rice, pasta etc Is a cup too much do you think? Last night I have frylight roast potatoes but only had 2 small ones, I always try to limit potatoes etc but am eating more than half less than I used to.

WOW! That's great! Well done chuck! :D

Extra lean mince, thats mine atm :) Sometime really stuck for ideas, its so versatile and a lifesaver :)

At the minute am just concentrating on the fat gonnagetslim, I always check the cals for a rough guide to keeping in my amount but having looked through my diary i think i may not be having enough fat, sounds crazy to me tho lol

Thanks Celtgirl am looking forward to it :) x Thanks for your support yesterday really helped :) xx

Well today is a new day and am feeling positive again, thanks to you all for your kind words and encouragment :) Brekkie 1 cup porrige oats 1 cup ssk milk Lunch Tesco chicken & veg soup, multi grain bap with wafter thin ham, ww chocolate mousse Dinner Roast chicken, broccoli, carrot...

HAHAHA what you like! That so made me laugh, sounds like you are doing great! I love it when I find things I think there is no way on earth I could have, its like winning lotto! lol :) x

I take one with every meal, 3 meals a day, I just like to know i have a routine, if i didnt take one with every meal i know i would forget.

Haha yeah the windy days make me chuckle lol. Glad you are ok, thanks for your words of encouragement it means a lot, people are soooo nice on here :) xx

Thanks Penguin :) xxxx

:party0049:Awww thats great! Well done!

Cheers, I reaaly have to remember it took a longtime to get on so its going to take a longtime to get off lol :)

Thanks for this downsizeme, am looking at other diets to combine as maybe i am not eating enough fat :/ Looking through my food diary I think this could be so.

One thing I didnt do when i started was measure myself, I forgot :sigh: Will do it today and see if anything changes to the 18th when i have to go back to doctors, am worried because if i havent lost 5% they may take me off :cry: so will give it full on with the exercise, maybe this is the key??? x

Am just doing the low fat healthy eating rule, have started my wii active exercise. Hahaha thats so funny, yeah there is always an enabler around lolol xxx

Will try those love, will try anything to kickstart my weightloss, thanks again chuck xxx

Well done! 2 stone is a great achievement chuck! :) Yeah maybe the weather is a factor lol x
