I posted this originally in August 2017 when I was still on my weight loss journey - fast forward to October 2018 and I hit my goal weight in January 2018 and have maintained since. I’m now on the maintenance plan - one Slim Fast per day (Usually breakfast) then healthy choices for lunch and dinner.

So Iv always been up and down with my weight - I went from 18 stone to 12 stone (I'm a guy) on Orlistat and kept it off then I moved to the US and ballooned up to 19.7 stone On April 4th this year I decided enough was enough and decided to go with Slim Fast - it's a diet I'd always overlooked...

Good luck on the start of your Orlistat journey! I lost 5.5 stone in total (And in the main part have kept the weight off). Keep us updated how you are getting on! There are lots of hints and tips on here

So it seems nobody is taking Xenical/Orlistat anymore then! :(

I think that's the whole problem with Xenical - It's not used properly as it seems a lot of people who take it (As mentioned in this forum) either carry on eating as normal thinking they can sh!t themselves skinny or test the drug by overeating to get the side effects to 'check its working'...

Thank you for all the work to bring the site back - So good to see more and more people returning!

So great it's back as I have always found this a great place to get news and stay motivated however it seems the break has caused 90% of members not to return yet - Hope everyone realises that MM is back up and running soon and it becomes as busy as it always was!

Well done! Great success

Just seen that the Orlistat product is about to be sold and a new formula has been made that still offers the same benefits BUT the toilet side effects are reduced/non-existent! -...

Good luck Sammy! I always seem to go back to Orlistat too as its always worked so well for me

Wow it's got quiet on here! Are people still taking Orlistat/Xenical/Alli - It seems that ever since the major shortage of the product a year or 2 ago people didn't return to taking the product after? Anyway I'm taking them again - Iv kept the weight off for a few years now but need a boost...

Well done on your loss! :)

Welcome to the forum! Loads of help and advice on here - I'd also recommend downloading the 'My Fitness Pal' app to help you keep track of your daily fat and calorie intake.

Welcome back!

Welcome to the forum! Loads of help and advice on here to help you on your weight loss journey :-)

Downloaded it and really liking it so far! Intense 7 minute workout is really good for me as I'm not into going into the gym and this can be done easily in the morning etc,

Since they changed the rules in the UK regarding certain prescription drugs you can now buy Xenical online [You have to complete an online consultation which gets approved by a doctor] - The downside to this is that you pay full price for them [£55 for a months supply] so it depends on your...

Just wondered if anyone if has tried the new fitness app that everyone seems to be talking about - Its called '7 Minute Workout Challenge' and is #1 on the iTunes store and all the reviews seem positive. Just thought if see if anyone had any experience of using it before I download it?

An Irish setter! lol

Thanks guys! Never anticipated this final hurdle! Thought I'd be happy when I reached my target weight but now the challenge seems huge to reach my ideal weight for my height etc,

Are you using the 'My Fitness Pal' app? I swear by it and so do others on here, It tells you what your fat and calorie intake is per meal that way you can see for yourself if your portion sizes etc, are too big. I doubt I could have lost the weight that I have if I did not use it as portion...

Northernstar 28lbs to lose :cry:

Well done! Fantastic start! And it's so rewarding when you see the results!

Welcome and good luck! I originally had 5 stone to lose and achieved it in just over 5 months - MFP really helps too!

I think you have done better than ok with losing 40% of your original body weight!!

Welcome to the forum! You will find lots of help, support and ideas on here as well as plenty of success stories! Good luck!

Not the most exciting however low fat and low calories - Quorn sausages, mixed peppers, onions and mushrooms and baked beans - Under 400 calories and under 10g of fat

I'm on 1,500 calories max per day too as well as taking Xenical - Worked wonders so far! Good luck - Am sure you will notice the benefits of a reduced calorie diet along with the little blue pills soon! :)

I'm in even though the thread is for ladies! lol! :-) 2 stone loss for me please - I want to aim to be 12 stone and maintain it by Christmas!

Thanks and congrats to you too! Great weight loss!

I went from 19.1 stone to 15.11 stone on the pills in under 3 months - There was then a shortage in supply so I carried on eating healthy and dropped to under 14st - The great thing about these tabs is that they change people's mindset about fat content etc so when you stop taking them you have...

Welcome back :-)

Thank you! Never thought I could do it or maintain it - Apart from the pills this forum and MFP app are so important too - Dont think i would have done it without those. Congrats on starting again and losing - And doing something i have not managed yet and giving up smoking!

Have not posted here since Feb 2012 when the xenical shortage kicked in! Interesting to come back on and see how well everyone is still doing! Just thought I'd share my update - I started at just over 19 stone, The last time I posted I was 15 stone 11 pounds and then the xen run out, I carried...

Iv had more blips than i care to remember and felt crap about myself afterwards but each time i just started again and im so pleased i did! You have had incredible weight loss so far and should be really proud! I now have a 'treat' day once a week which gives me something to look forward too...

Iv struggled - A few weeks ago I had a week where I wanted to eat everything in sight but thankfully have moved on from that now! However reading this and other forums it does seem that it is easier for men to shift weight than women so maybe that's been part of my success!! lol But this...

Long been a lurker on this forum picking up hints and tips however have never got around to posting but thought it was time i did seeing as i have got so much from many of your posts. Started my Zenical journey in October 2011 when i weighed in at 267 pounds:eek: Anyway with the help of Zen...

Huge well done - Amazing results and an inspiration to see what can be achieved
