I just wish I could understand why these pills don't work with me ... I am quite upset that I cannot do as well as you girls :/

Well done on your losses and meeting your goals girls. I have thrown out my scales and my xenical this weekend.... I couldn't cope anymore ... as i said on one of my last posts, i have been stuck in the bathroom for like ever, not being able to go out because of toilet anxiety!!!!!!! I only...

Thanks franklyscarlet... appreciate it. I'm just darned angry and depressed at the minute...dunno how much more i can take, I think I'm gonna give it one more month and make a final decision to stay on xen or not. I started this months tablets today so 4 weeks till D-Day! If it doesn't work...

Thanks everyone for your words of wisdom! Some days are just so much harder than others...BUT I'm off for another winge now... Why am I constantly stuck in the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!! I follow all the rules, the 5g per 100g, the 15g per meal and no more than 45g as day.... really is it just...

it's just so hard. I have 7 stone to lode and feel likes its either never gonna happen or it's gonna take 7 years.... I just feel sad. I'm off to bed for a cry :/

Thanks everyone, sorry i've not been on here in a lil while, I kinda went into self pity mode for a bit ... I just get myself so worked up... I have been overweight forever and I just want it to go away! I know there is no easy quick fix but the truth is, for the last 4 years I have become a...

Thanks Sharon..... I am feeling OK I guess, maybe I'm putting too much expectation into the whole thing?! :( Your weight loss is super! I had my first Dr's weigh in today and I only lost 7 pounds for my first month, bit gutted to be honest....

OK...so I have been on the low fat diet with Xenical for 24 days now....had my first weigh in with my Dr this morning..... I lost 3Kg... roughly translated to 7 pounds.... In a whole month?! Looking at some of the weight losses on this forum, surely I am doing something wrong!? I'll be...

Thanks girls for the positive boost... I knew posting would help :) .... I have given into temptation tonight and dessert will consist of pretzels and marshmallows! At least it's a lot less fat than choccy! tomorrow is another day and I know deep down that any loss is brilliant, I'm just sooo...

yeah, it is a little strange, cos it's all to with being in 'ketosis' , maybe it's just an adjustment :)

I'm a little down in the dumps today... weight not shifting as fast as I'd like .... If you're feelin' blue, what do you do? I don't want to lose my frame of mind.... I just want to get married! BUT I won't allow it whilst I'm fat.... and I feel like I'm gonna be fat forever :( Any help...

I used to get that every day with Lighterlife .... I find that a breath spray helps charlotte... I get Boots own dry mouth spray, as it's not too minty x

You girls are doing sooo well..... I really feel that either the pills aren't working for me or I'm doing something reallly wrong. Im into week 3 of pills as of yesterday and I have only lost 6 pounds.... Rach you lost that in 1 week! ( Which is fabulous!) Maybe I'm over expectant? :( either...

Ohh thanks Rach, I found it and filled it in for the day... it's amazing!!!! I can't see it being 100% accurate 100% of the time but it's a bloody marvellous help... I'm soooo glad I found you girls :)

Ooooh...and if you have a sweet tooth, I found something amazing in the dried fruit aisle of Sainsbury's .. Nakd Raisins, lunch box size bag (25g) Infused with Cherry / Lemon / Orange / Pineapple flavours... All natural sugars, nothing added and NO fat! Amazing for a quick sweet kick! 39p per...

pretzels work out around 4g per 100g

Salted pretzels in small portions are OK - I get the 25g bags from M&S .. Sainsburys do a 100g bag but it's too tempting to eat the whole bag hahaa

I guess if we don't try we don't learn! PMSL xx

Well, Charlotte, I put it to the test! I had a bag of velvet crunch for only 2g fat...and....half hour later, I had to visit the loo! LOL... It wasn't bad, no orange goo or anything but I'm guessing it wouldn't have happened if the ratio was right ( < 5g per 100g ) LMAO.... I'm a good little...

What is mfp? :) ?

So why is it that if a food goes over the 5g per 100g rule we cannot have just one of that thing? For example...Velvet Crunch low fat crisps... have 9.8g per 100g and only 2g per bag. If you're having just one bag for your snack, why is that not allowed... ? Confused!

I have invested in the 'Alli Bible' ... maybe I need to write down everything I eat too ... I was hoping I wouldn't have too but maybe I'm just eating that tiny bit too much to slow me down? :/

What is the 'Philly' obsession I keep reading about? I'm guessing it has to do with Philadelphia Cheese? LOL

Aww Yipppeee! lol .... Grrr though, I still can't find the recipe thread you told me about :( This site is tough to navigate haha! I had a lovely lean piece of Gammon for tea with new potatoes, peas, mini corn on the cobs and pineapple! Mmmmm .... last night was a medley of roasted vegetables...

Thanks for your kind words Sharon, it's nice to know that we are not alone in the world of troubles we face every day :) Well done on your first month's loss too, it's great!! I do feel a little happier today :)

Thanks for the words of wisdom gals! I know I shouldn't focus on the scales too much but I think it comes with the new start, when you first try something and you're hopes are high lol. I've just been at a loss with the whole weight issue for years now. Weightwatchers - done, Slimming World...

Thanks Booboo for the recipe tips... I just gotta find my way to them now...lmao.... Charlotte, what you're losing weight for is truly special and I'm with you all the way on it! Good luck m'dear! And to all the ladies on here, including Rach and Kelly...thanks so much for the warm welcome...

Hi Kelly , nice to meet you.... Statistically we are quite similar, with only a week between start dates! I have done everything from WW to Lighter Life and really need to nip this in the bud... I'm 28 this Year and really really don't want to get to 30 and still fat! I'm hoping to get married...

Oh gosh, this site is confusing to navigate around lol! Any ideas how I can find me some low fat recipes? x

I'm into week two of pills now. I think I have lost approx. 4 pounds but not sure as my scales are forever changing!! Sooo, bearing that in mind and the fact I don't see my Doctor for a couple more weeks I would like to lose 11 pounds by the time I see him :) Fingers crossed ..... * must make...

Thanks for the reply Rach, and the advice.... it's crazy when the Dr's just expect you to get on with it!! I'm trying really hard though and coming here helps x :)

Hi everyone I have been reading all of your posts eagerly and I'm getting to think you are a strong group of ladies! You all seem very positive ( which I find really tough ) but the more I read, the more I feel 'normal' ( for want of a better word )!! I am on day 9 of Xenical and really...
