i'm always forgetting to take mine - must get into a routine of pill and drink while i'm preparing my meals.

i would like to try it (just for an experiment you understand):o:o

still doing okay ;) a lot on my plate at the mo with visiting dad in hospital and having grandkids off and on cos they are on holidays just now. could do with a nice quiet , restful day................

good luck Chelle - you'll be fine and lose lots of weight :D

you've just had a day off - start back tomorrow and forget it hun ;) we wouldn't be doing this if we were perfect :rolleyes: i'm into my 6th week and will lose it very soon - but this time i will just get over it and get back into the saddle and trot along until i get my weight off .:D:D

happy again today - the sun is out , my face is scarlet , i've been to a car boot.......lovely day :D

just wanted you all to know that i didn't get tangoed after all :rolleyes: although there was an awful lot of bad wind...............:eek:

hiya - hope you get your head round this soon hun. try to eat lots of veg and fruit and eat lean meat - i eat loads of chicken. have a look at all the jars you usuallly use and try to stick to ones which are less than 5g per 100. i use packs of savoury rice and pasta with sauce which...

well i've lost another kilo this week which amounts to 15 lbs in 5 weeks.:D i'm having a bad day today - have eaten too much and am sure that the tango man will be here shortly :eek::eek:

feeling down today - tried a summer top on and felt really fat -as if i hadn't lost an ounce :sigh: must make myself something really nice for tea tonight to cheer myself up ................

did the pack only have 100 grms then ???? they usually much more ....................

good luck hun x know what you mean about getting it to the correct strength - it takes so loing and you are feeling yuk all that time !!! i dont know why they mess about starting with 50mg when everyone i know is on a much higher dosage. i take 175 a day and have done for donkeys years...

yeah - there are very few calories in them and they taste lovely x

it's very hard to get a coleslaw with low fat isn't it :sigh: the lowest one i have found is in Aldi.

hiya kelly - good luck on losing your weight. i have been on the pills for almost 5 weeks and have lost a stone and am chuffed to bits. my sister was on these pills too but cheated and the only loser was her:sigh: let us know how you get on cos hopefully we can all keep each other...

hiya - hope you are doing well :) i've been on zenical 5 weeks come Saturday and should be 1 stone down by then. i've never had an incident :eek: yet and as long you keep an eye on your fat intake you will be ok too. keep in touch and let us all know how you are doing cos most of us are...

i've moved my thyroxine to bedtime since i started the zenical and must say i feel so much better than i have for years :rolleyes: my doctor told me not to take the zenical in the morning cos it would interfere with the thyroxine but i decided to move to bedtime and am so glad i have...

i buy peach flavoured water in Aldis - comes in a 4 pack - lovely xx i also buy the flavoured water in Tescos .

it will take you a week or two to get into the swing of this new way of life . once you have read a few labels and found out just how much fat is in some of the things we all eat you will be able to make better choices when you eat out. just start afresh tomorrow hun - if you really want...

i've lost 11 lbs ..or a housecat :D my 2 dogs wouldn't give a cat a minutes's peace ;)

i had poached chicken breast with uncle bens s/s sauce, half a baked potato, small amount of boiled rice and it was luvvly xxx

hope you're feeling better today hunxxx

carvery sounds good - i think you'll be able to fill your plate with good things and boyfriend wont think you are starving yourself . better than going out to dinner where you have to leave lots on your plate cos you're not allowed to eat it. Enjoy ;)
