    TMI question Re Xenical withdrawal on exante

    Hiya, when I started xenical I was 15.7stone.. And within 9 months I was 12.3 stone. But that was being very strict and not eating anything over 5g of fat per 100g and I am a vegan too, so didn't eat any meat, dairy etc.. Which I think helped a LOT!!

    I understand that.. I'm more or less happy with things at the moment, but I really do need to lose the weight before my doctors will help me with anything, as every time I see them, they say it's always downto my weight, so I want to prove to them at 10stone, it ISN'T my weight anymore! And...
