I'm down 3lbs, so relieved after a couple of hard weeks.

Well im been really down the last couple of weeks and havent been eating at all well. It wasn't to bad last week but this week I've been having the worst tango moments ever even managed to destroy my mattress and bedroom floor. I am coming out the other side and hopefully by Monday I'll be...

Im late this week checking in, im doing the count for the presidential elections here in Ireland so didnt have a chance to update yesterday. I tried to WI yesterday but my scales couldn't decide if I had sts, lost 1 or 2 lbs as it gave me a different reading the six times I stood on it. I didn't...

Well done Gem I'm down 3lbs this week, i'm delighted. But I do think i've put it all back on today!!!!! There was a retirement in work so loads of yummy food and drink, but it was worth it.

I've had a really really busy week. I was working back stage on a musical (its a hobby of mine but does feel like a second job). So since Sunday i've been doing 15/16 hour days. I love it but its not good when you are trying to lose weight. I haven't been able to exercise much and missed my...

Enjoy the chinese, I'm going for one tomorrow night i'm really looking forward to it.

Sts this week as well, i'm not supprised. Working on a musical after work so putting in 15/16 hour days since sunday and haven't been able to exercise much. Also not eating when I should be. Its always the same when i do shows.

Well done on choosing the sambo, I done that today in work. All the girls were having Sausage, Beans & Chips. I had a wrap with chicken and tomato. It did bother me a little bit earlier but i'm so glad now.

Well done on your decision Linzi. You've done really really well.

Thanks for the support girls. Well i had my WI today and I'm totally shocked. I'm down 2lbs. I'm so delighted, I wasn't really expecting it. And I'm so delighted i'm exactly 2 stone lighter.

I have a spare pair of tousers and underware under my desk. In 3 months I only had to change once (and it was my fault). If you stick to the rules you shouldn't be to worried. It is a bit nerve recking when you start out first but for me the benefits defiantly out way the negatives and I...

For me Xenical has had a good effect on my movements. I use to go from being constipated to having the runs and spending what would feel like hours in the loo. Now I am a lot more regular and even when i'm having side effects I no longer suffer pain that I use to.

Different foods can have a different effect of people. Even foods that fit into the xenical rules can affect you. So some foods you will just have to try and see what happens. I have no problem eating eggs but some people can't eat them.

Hi Tegzy Just take one day at a time and don't get to upset about your first couple of WI's. It will take a couple of weeks for your body to get use to your new lifestyle. I didn't lose any weight my first couple of weeks and I was on the verge of giving up yet again. But I stuck with it...

Well done

Best wishes heading your way. Hope it doesn't take to long to clear up.

Well done. Thats a brillant result, keep up the good work.

Hi Dizzy Welcome to Xenical. I've been on it since the end of June and i'm so glad I i'm taking it. It has really help me stick to a low fat diet. It may be a couple of days before you know if it will have an effect. I'm having a bad week with food this week which began on Sunday and I...

Well i'm not having a very good week:( Eating loads of things I shouldn't, was visited today by Mr Tango today and expect him again tomorrow (but worse) I went to Eddie Rockets for lunch. I just seem to be craving all the wrong foods and my will power seems to be vanished. I hope tomorrow is...

Hi Rach Drop by any time and well done on your 9lb loss. Its a good start after your months off. My dog is doing well. My dad and sister collected her from the Vets this afternoon as I was in work. She is currently curl up on the sofa beside me. Its hard to believe that i've only had her...

Where has this week gone? I can't believe we have our WI tomorrow. I haven't had the best week but hopefully i will be down 1lb.

I had chicken breast, corn on the cob and small diced potatoes dry roasted in the oven.

Having a really mixed day my poor little doggy went to the vets today to get spayed and now has to stay overnight. She has vomited and hasn't come around 100% so they want to keep an eye on her. After suffering with pain in my knee after a fall over a year ago the hospital has finally told me...

Well done Miss Bee.

Well done on you your 8lbs its a brillant start.

Well done last attempt. You must be delighted

It does make you feel good when you start to notice the little things. For me it was when i had to buy a belt for my trousers and i've already had to move it a couple of notches. I usually eat wheetabix for breakie but I am getting a little fed up with it so I deceided a couple of weeks ago...

WOW.........All those achievements in one week, well done.

I love this jelly. I was going to a bbq last week and I was a bit worried as I new a lot of people were bringing yummy deserts. I made up some individual portions of strawberry jelly in plastic cups and as an extra treat chopped some fresh strawberries and added them to each pot. They were...

Well done on your loss and good look with the next month.

Down 1lb this week. Didn't have a good start to the week, a few of us seem to have struggled this week.

I'm so excited and nervous i'm adopting a dog and should have her next week. She is a lovely little dog but really hyper so loads of long walks will be needed which will be good for the weight loss. She has had such a tough life so far. She lived in an apartment and never got to go outside...

Woo hoo the balloon again, well done Miss Bee. Miss bee can we make it 3 weeks in a row. I'll need to work a bit harder today and tomorrow stuggling a bit this week. Hope everone else is having a good week.

I didn't lose anything for the first 2 weeks I was on xen but my nurse told me that can sometimes happen. I've been losing steady since then.

I've got a goal of 13 stone which is just my first one and when i reach it i will decide a new one as I decided anything beyond that would just make me depressed. I do have some mini goals which are roughly 7lbs each and it does give you thrill when you reach them. I got to under 17 stone...

Hi Guys I hoping someone might be able to advise me. I'm going to a BBQ on Saturday and i'm bring a chicken pasta salad. I'm including peppers in the salad i'm just wondering if i should slightly cook the peppers to soften them first or put them in raw. Thanks for you help.

Well done to everyone who lost this week and glad you had a good holiday miss bee. I'm down 2lbs this week i'm delighted :D

I never noticed, it has been pointing out to me before that i'm not the most observant person in the world :) I'm liking it.

I haven't trusted myself buying crisps yet. I'm afraid that if I have one packet I won't be able to stop and will eat that whole six pack. The other week i was feeling a bit low and there were some hula hoops in the house i ended up eating 2 packets together.

I'm going for a chinese tomorrow night, i've already picked out what i'm going to have. So hopefully my effects will be limited. My most emb moment was a couple of weeks ago. I was in work, i had a spare pair of trousers and nobody noticed i had changed them. It was when i had to remove the...

Well done Charleybar. Thats a great result for one week :D

Welcome to the site and good luck with your weightloss

Hi Minimy Well done on your loss and your maintaining. I hope i'll be like that one day. Its not daft joining at this stage we are all here to support one another and as you said maintaining is the hardest part.

Hi and :welcome: Have you looked at the stickys in the introduction section. They give a lot of really good advice. You will find loads of support here as everyone is going through the same thing. Do you know what weight loss program you are going to do?

Thanks Guys, I've had a couple of bad days. I only have myself to blame. I've been off work for a few days so took my nephews out and of course ended up eating a few things i shouldn't. Its really strange i'm not feeling to bad about it as I know it was my decsion. My hope for my WI tomorrow...

Welcome Mousie. Good luck with your weight loss

I hope everyone has a good WI tomorrow. Can't wait to see all the results. I'm hoping i'll be down about 1lbs have been off work this week so i haven't been as disciplined as I should of been:(

Well done on your loss, I didn't lose anything the first couple of weeks after I started to take xenical. My doc said that can often happen.

Why can't i stop feeling hungry today? It doesn't matter what I eat I can't seem to feel full. I've had a proper breakie, lunch, dinner and some healthy snacks, at least im not eating crap. Can't wait until today is over.

woo hoo... congrats on the loss. I haven't had much wind i've been getting more stomach grumbling and growling.

Well done, you must be so pleased :happy096:

Well done fairygirl, enjoy your hols.

In the blue menu at the top there is a menu called inspiration slide show. Also on the home page where it list's all the different forums under introduction there is one called success stories. Hope they help.

Hello and welcome Well done on your 11lbs loss.

Familes can be so fustrating at times. Last week my dad asked me on 3 different days did i want homecut chips (deep fried) and sausages. He just thought i might like it cos i've been so good lately. I'm so glad i resisted;)

Thank you so much dietgirl24.I'm am going to start with the arm exercises tonight.

Hi and :welcome: You have made the first step and that is the most important thing. I was and still am in the same boat as you, making up excuses why not to do things or go some where. I was nearly 19 stone at my heaviest back in June and for the last year i would say to myself i must go on a...

Thanks Boofaloo & Bunnyhops I know i should be feeling pleased with after my wi yesterday. But i've been feeling a bit down in dumps the last couple of days. I'm disgusted with myself when i was feeling low last night all i could thing about was the Hula Hoops that were in the press. I...

Welcome to the site blossums and good luck with whatever diet you choose. You have taken the first step by deciding to lose weight and you will find loads of support and inspiration on this site.

My WI is in the morning, this is the part of the week i really hate. I'm already worrying that i won't of lost anything and if the last few weeks are anything to go by i'll be awake and nervous all night.

Well done on making the century club james. :happy096: Its a brillant achievement.

Hi Clemie68 You will get a lot of support and inspiration from people here. Well done on your weight loss so far.

Hi Friday girlies I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Gemstone thanks for the glitter congrats. I love it:thankyou:

I know what you mean about the aircraft seat. I've my hols booked for November and before i decided to take the plunge and lose weight I was a bit scared about the seatbelt not fitting.

Well done, you look amazing.

Well done on making all those decisions in your life, it can't have been easy after losing your job. Best of luck with losing weight.

Hi Littlesis, I'm feeling lots better on the medication, at least i know im not going mad!!!!! And now hopefully i'm on the right track to getting healthy and losing weight. If i can continue to get my weight down by 1 to 2 pounds a week i'll be so happy.

Well things have gone good and bad for me today. I had to put a belt on my jeans this morning for the first time so im so delighted. I really struggled on my exercise bike tonight. I only managed to do 8.7kms in 30 mins when i have been doing 10 - 11kms. I'm sure after a good nights sleep...

Hi Vidia Sorry i can't answer your question about chow mein as i've just avoided all takeaways for the last month. Im sure someone will be able to help you out . I just wanted to congratulate you on your stone loss. Well done

Hi I've been on the website for a few days now so I’ve decided to take the plunge and start my own diary instead of admiring everyone else’s. I’ve been on xenical for a month and a half and so far I’ve lost 10lbs. I didn’t lose anything for the first couple of weeks but eventually I started...

Well done Fairygirl & forthelasttime. The both of you must be so pleased.

Hi I've been on xenical for a month and an half. I had a few tango moments at the start but for the most part it has been fine. I had a bad weekend just gone and suffered for it on Monday and Tuesday in work (i'm just glad i had that spare pair of undies and trousers under me desk). My doc...

Hi everyone, I've been very overweight since my teens and have always struggled with losing weight. I have been diagnosed with an underactive Thoyriod and are taking medication for it. My doctor recently prescribed Xenical and I've been on it now for a month and a half. I have changed my diet...
