hey rach i always check every label. it was 11g per 100g and i had half which is 50g it was well within the limit hmmmmm. as you know i follow fat gram per portion as recommened by alli. oh and it was the asda one with 30% less fat

thanks booboo. im eatin similar stuff daily. it happened after a jacket potatoe with beans and low fat coleslaw. i think they have gotten into my system now so hence the oily poo lol its not too bad but its different cause i didnt notice it the 1st two weeks. ill let u no how i get on

hi guys thought id fill you in, iv lost 3.2lbs so far on alli. im feeling positive. first two weeks everything was normal but now into 3rd week my stools seem to be oily. is that normal? bloating only lasted for a week, thank god lol hows everyone doing? hey jude i really hope you start...

lol thats pretty cool

alli said i need 1800cal but i think thats too much considering i cant workout or do much exercise so im having 1600. that shud be ok i think. it also says i need to have 19g fat per meal but iv barely been getting 15g lol i know what u guys mean about not been able to consume all those calories...

im so made up for you hon, uv all done brilliantly. am nervous bout my first weigh in, gotta check in on sunday :-s iv been calorie counting for couple months but nothing happened so really hope this works

go girl am welk made up for u

iv filled out my consultation just waiting on a price from health express :-(

does anyone on here buy there xenical or do you all get it on prescription. i need to buy em but cant afford expensive version. theres loads of people selling it

so when you treat urself do u not take the pill with that meal?

iv come across someone on facebook they selling one box £35 but how do i know if there legit

he said that they dont prescribe them at that practice but he said i can get a second opinion from another doctor but whats the point if non of them do ill just be let down again. i mean what do they have to lose by prescribing them :-)

the doctor refused to prescibe me xenical he said he doesnt believe they help in the long run. thats just really upset me. there so expensive to buy :-(

for those of you considering a zumba home workout dvd the site is www.zumbafitness.co.uk its about £50 although i got mine for £40 a year back

wow what a difference you look amazing. how did you lose the weight

i have a ap on my iphone called mynetdiary that counts calories and tells you how many calories u burn with different types of exercise its a great motivater

it doesnt matter if you start off slow with exercise so long as you build it up slowly and set youself little challenges ul do great rach. and yes i read ur essay lol im really happy for u sticking with it to date, ul do great at the weigh in.

lol i went for a 40min walk today after ages boy are my legs killin ouch but on the good side of things i burnt 257 calories yeay!! :-)

try not worry about the slip up rach, following a strict rule can be daunting. it may happen now and then :-)

i was on diclofenac am now on naproxen but my tummy hasnt settled so am takin break from em

im ok just been having stomach problems from the pain killers doc gave me for my back pain. his changed em but stomach isnt settling so im taking a break for few days. hows ur weight loss goin rach

u basically need to follow a rule. u need to have 5g of fat per 100g and 15g max per meal. i personally know someone whos taken xenical. she started off as a size 22-24 when i saw her sox months later she was a size 10... so long as u follow the rules i believe u shudnt get the nasty effects...

hey binny congratulations on your HALF A STONE loss thats brilliant uv got nout to be disapointed about girl uv done fab :-)

great job rach am really pleased for u

i have 4 stones to lose but im 5 7 in height so that might go against me :-(

it might be best to eat wen u get back. eating will add a lil weight on scale.

iv not even stared xenical and im already obssesed with this forum lol

i got mine from shopping channel u can also try ebay

im ok thanks just watching what i eat at the mo. ill find out monday if doc will giv me xenical

the zumba is brilliant its much fun seems more like dancing then workout, u can either get the dvds or join a zumba class its fab

what is dairy calcium and what foods contain it??

hmmm iv neva made soup either does it have to be blended or can everything be chopped fine. what kinda stock is used??

hi guys what is lipotrim? does it work and does it have side effects like xenical??

hi the best place for you to get support and get help with your questions is the xenical forums some people have had great results

congrats caz your right every pound counts. :-)

hi im new here. iv had pcos since i was in my teens. my symtoms were pretty much the usual, exessive facial hair, acne, irregular periods and my weight wouldnt budge. my doc startrd me on dienette was on them for couple yrs they helped with the cycle and small amounts of weight started to come...

awww well i guess u shud eat what fills you up

sal if u eat them slowly and conciously they really do fill u up try it seevif it makes a difference

i find pot noodle filling and my fave is bombay bad boy it tastes like indian curry :-)

iv got 4 stones to lose. am 5,7 in height and weigh 13. 11lbs need to get down to 10 stones. thanks guys.

well i can have what i like at the moment because i havnt started xenical yet yeay!!! lol, im seeing my doc monday and am hoping he will prescibe me the xenical, if not will have to spend £125 to buy a 3 month supply which is very expensive so iv got my fingers crossed that he will take a chance...

hey binny i just checked a pot noodle tub its just under 5g per 100g put wen u add water it becomes 300g so that becomes just under 15g per pot. i think we shud watch out for that kinda stuff. i still dont understand why we cant just go with 15g per meal in the serving nutritional value instead...

bless. its mine on the 3rd so in 2 days. im hoping by my next birthday ill be a lovely size 10-12 lol that will defo be a 30th to celebrate lol

hey hon whens your birthday??

thats amazing sal. u can do it. keep up the great work. keep thinking of the end result :-)

u can also have warbutons wholemeal medium bread too

thank you so much guys uv been great. im gonna see my doctor on monday i hope he takes a chance on me. sal? one more question about an example. ok crunchy nut cereal has 5g per 100g does that mean i can have 300g total of that to make 15g max?? have i got the right idea?

can u have any fruit and as much as u want? also still lil stuck on grams thing ok say i was having a ww desrt and it says 3.4g per 100g but the serving gram is more or less how is that calculated

great work rach keep it up ul soon get used to it :-)

what about inbetween meals? can u eat somethin with fat

i was jus wondering guys is xenical stil in action inbetween meals? also for example if i had it with my breakfast and lunch and decided not to take it for my dinner cuz i wanna it takeout is that possible?? or do u have to stick with the 5g rule at all times???

i was jus wondering guys is xenical stil in action inbetween meals for example if i had it with my breakfast and lunch and decided not to take it for my dinner cuz i wanna it takeout is that possible?? or do u have to stick with the 5g rule at all times???

how long u been taking it sal? yes PCOS is a nightmare but it is said that once the excess weight is lost the symtoms reduce drasticly too which is fab. im so glad i found this forum u guys r great. have u been to the doc for your knee??

thank you that kinda seems straight forward. im jus tad confused bout the 5g out of 100g thing

sorry to sound dumb but could u give me an examble please

hi guys im thinking of taking xenical but not sure if doc will give it to me cuz i have three stones to lose, im very confused by the fat intake, on the xenical website is says something about consuming 30% of fat from calories so i calculated an egg and its 61% so thats obviously a no no...
