Hi Guys I finally managed to find a chemist in Sheffield with one box of orlisrtat. I have 4 weeks to my holiday so I really need to knuckle down and get some weight off. Any tips for a good loss? Thanks Chelle

Thanks girls. I have a friend who works in a chemist so she is going to let me know if they get any in stock.

Hi Guys I have 3 days supply left and then that is it. I have rung about 10 chemists today and they have all said that it will be september before they get any supplies in. Just going to carry on as I am doing and hope that I can keep losing weight. Chelle

Hi All Decided to go back to the doctors today and ask him if I could go back on xenical. To my dismay he told me that he could not prescribe it as it had been removed from sale. Is this true? Or is it just that stocks are low. Thanks for your help Chelle x

If you speak to the gym they may let you stop your payments until you are fit again. I did that when I had my cancer op and they let me stop it for 6 months x

I am going away on Sunday for the week and I am worried about my snacking. Although I will be doing plenty of walking and sightseeing I know that on an evening I will want to snack. Whats the best thing for me to snack on when I get the urge?

From this comment then I think its the green eyed monster creeping in. She thinks that if she keeps making the sarcastic comments that you will fail and make her feel better. Dont let her get to you as you are better than that xx

You can do this ! You Can do this ! I work for a Bakery, a very big bakery that supplies all the major supermarkets with all their Doughnuts and Muffins. We have to taste test every production run of products and today I did the weighing, measuring and the aroma of the doughnuts and let...

I would def delete her as a friend or approach her and tell her that you feel that these comments are aimed at you and why do it. Make her feel shameful ( If its possible to do this to this kind of person) Chin Up xx

I am on FB if anyone wants to add me. Send PM

Hi Lou Where in West Yorks are you? I work in Wakefield and go to college in Leeds

I had a small bar of chocolate yesterday it was one of those Freddo bars and I cant remember even tasting it because I just shoved it in ! Felt a bit disgusted with myself after, not for having it but for how I had it.

Thanks Girls xx
