I avoid cheese laiden food, anything with an 'oil' dressing, any meat that's dry fried as they tend not to have drained off the excess fat and opt for a breast of chicken grilled then sliced, char grill is good as long as they didn't coat it in oil to stop it sticking to the grill. Alternatively...

Hey Violet the groups a real life thing, i asked my local chemist to give my card to anyone on Xenical and a few contacted me, then more. i eventually gave them to the GP direct, we're about 12 strong now and supporting each other each day, one day at a time. As to the dreaded orange oils, I've...

Ignore my ticker, I've lost the log in! I've now lost just over 4 stone on xenical. It's been easy as I've stuck to low fat options, exercised and set up a group of others in the same situation. Just keep to the RDA of fat and eat loads of fruit and veg. Good luck Bunny x

hello, it's me again, the xenical queen....... I'm still taking xenical, have, still, yet to experience anything untoward. I'm not as 'good' as I was a few months ago, I do allow myself more treats and so on. BUT, I'm still dropping the weight and feeling all the better for it! Stick with...

My middle son attends school with Jessica, Jessie to her friends, she's a very pretty little 6 year-old with one of the rarest forms of cancer. Jessie's battling. My partners running in this years Jungfrau Marathon for her...... We're BEGGING for sponsors...

Good Luck Chick, how do you feel in yourself? Bunny x

Hi Minime :) XENICAL.com Home That's the link to the Xenical/orlistat site, you MUST eat fat when you take Orlistat. Fat helps the body to transport and absorb some vitamins that are essential. Maybe that's were you went wrong? I DO think that there isn't enough information given when the...

Hello again! Now coming to you from sunny Denmark the land of limited fat free foods! Well it's been a while, and there've been a few ups and downs, not sure if I mentioned I'd self referred to the Dietary Services at my local GP's, it only took them three months to get back to me, by which...

Hello Fizz, I DO have IBS, or I should say I did suffer from it, the Orlistat have actually helped me a lot, I can now, wait for it, fart. I've regulated the intake of fats, I've changed the way I look at food in a way that years of IBS suffering hadn't taught me to do and I'm more...

I'll be shopping at an Iceland near one of you lot next time! Bunny :)

I'm creeping off to see my GP on the 14th, I'm lost as to when I'm due 'on' now as my pill packets all messed up, I spend the weekend at my OH's and he has all I need there, so we just pop on the train and that's that...... so I'm confused! I did feel as if I could have mugged a small child I...

Well I'm another 3lb down this week and the sun is STILL shining! Hope all you Orlistatees are feeling positive and focused! Bunny x

Hello again! I've been to visit family in Glasgow these last few days and while I've been good, I've been socialising so tomorrow will be a day of realisation I think! I was a little stunned to find such a limited choice of frozen veg in the Iceland in the east end of Glasgow, so much so I...

Fantastic! Stick up a ticker and keep coming back, it's amazing to see it go down. :) What's you target weight? Bunny x

I'm told the MAX is 30g a day over three meals, BUT I've also been told the less the better, I'm sticking to about 15g a day MAX and, so far, haven't had any bad experiences, certainly after the BBQ and such I was a little more urgent to the loo, and there was an oil on the surface of the water...

Hi H2S, Your GP's totally right in my experience, it's not difficult to avoid foods you know will cause you embarrassment. :) Just take it slowly and think positive, I promise it's easy and you'll be amazed. Bunny x

Hello, Weighed in on Tuesday and had lost another 4lb, so I crashed the May challenge, happy with a nice steady lose so I'll be placing my 5lb challenge on the June thread. Bunny x

Hello! Bloody Hell, a month ago I thought I was alone and here I am now in a gang 'massive' :) Things are going great, I'm getting more inventive and adventurous with food. I've taken to 'creating' meals and serving them straight faced to the family. No-one's complaining. :) I'm so happy so...

Hello! Well the birthday's here and the BBQ's this afternoon, but I'm not stressed, just relaxing and thinking good thoughts. Been a great week, cooking for everyone and then plating up smaller portions for me with mega veg and salad to bulk it out. :) Jeans are now an issue as I look silly...

Hello, I pledged 5lb and I'm no where near my scales! BUT I feel better and trousers I left here (at my other half) are to big and I wore one of his PJ bottoms to bed, I'd not have even tried to get them on a month ago due to sheer fear they'd rip! Bunny x

Thanks Taz, oh well she can get me at [email protected] Bunny x

Hello Fruity! I don't know how to PM, so I'm posting this here. I'm so excited to meet my very first Orlistat Buddy! If one of you lovely ladies will enlighten me I'll PM you my email address and we can chat in real time. :) Bunny x

No chance! Go and put on one of your old tops, then see how you feel about the new you! From the person I've read on here you're a strong, positive woman with a wealth of knowledge and compasion. It may not be who you see, but it's who we see. Not 'fat', never again 'fat', now it's only...

Well I'm seeing a big difference now, and so are the other mothers at the school! :) One funny point is now I'm losing weight I'm less concerned about covering up the weight I'm carrying, kind of like it's its last Summer and I'm letting it see the light! Bunny x

I'm expected to lose 5% of my starting weight in the first three months of using Orlistat and 10% in the first six months. In real numbers terms that's 11.5lb and 23lb respectively. So far I've lost a total of............... 14lb :party0011: So to say the GP was happy is an understatement. I...

Thanks Jo, it sure feels good to be treading in a positive direction, i'm so glad I found this site, it makes it so much better when you have company on the way. :) I'm not so nervous about the scales at the moment, I'm going in exactly the same clothes to show the loss, as well as seeing the...

Never cheeky! We Glasgow wimmen are enquiring minds! ;) I only wish I'd someone to ask questions of! Hmmmm. No I'm pretty sure that the weight loss is higher than I would have expected, not a huge deal higher but about the expected rate plus half. And yes, a placebo would have worked for me...

I was asked that question yesterday!!!!!! I think it's down to both really. If I wasn't on the Orlistat I don't think I'd be being as strict with myself. I know the fat issue would never have crossed my mind, and I certainly wouldn't be looking at the list as closely! It's an amazing thing to...

Hello again, I'm happy to say I'm not a Tena Lady yet! The whole experience has been really good so far, I'm feeling less tired, my skins looking better, I'm about to dye the roots, but that's another story! All in all, I'm well. I'm still watching my fat intake and counting the calories, this...

I tend to agree, I've been giving this a lot of thought since the other night and avoiding this thread as a result. I think it's irresponsible to try to lower your BMI into a region most health professionals would agree could have long term ramifications on your health, fertility and well...

:eek: Okay. Just thought I'd ask. Bunny x

Bloody hell LPD, how tall are you? Bunny x

Well one week in, nil on side effects, a few people have asked if I'm losing weight, I've said no. I don't know why I said no, I just did. No that's not true, I do know why I said no, I said no because I'm 'only' in the early stages and I didn't want them to have an expectation of me losing...

All I do is walk! I have three flights of stairs with 19 in each. Daily Stair Walk Out. Go to school AM run. Return from school AM run. Go to toddlers group midmorning group. Return from toddlers group at lunchtime. Lunch and nap time. Go to school PM run. Runaround after kids in park for...

I'd hunt down the guy who lets his dog pooh in the park EVERY morning and thump a great lump of it into his bare hands while screaming 'SEE IF YOU LIKE CLEANING IT OFF YOUR HANDS! WE'VE BEEN CLEANING IT OFF OUR KIDS SHOES FOREVER YOU SELFISH PIECE OF LOW LIFE SH*T' or words to that effect. Bunny x

I'm really lucky, I've discovered a local health program called 'Walk Islington' they give you maps with details of the local area and each walk is measured for you! :) Longest is 3 miles and starts around the corner from my home! Smile, it's Monday! Bunny x

No KD it IS sweet. :) I don't think I'm actually on 1,000 calories a day, I re-read the Scottish Slimmer book I'm working from and it looks more like 1,200-1,300 a day, including my snacks. If I might, I think KD is trying to point out a phenomena knows as feast and famine. Simply put, if we...

I do have a challenge ahead in a couple of weeks, I'm having a BBQ at my partners place and a couple of the guests are diabetics and have asked that I have a few no fat items for them, problem is there doesn't seem to be much option on 'no fat BBQ' I know I can whip up a mass of salads and...

Well I'm watching my calories as well as fat intake (orlistat) so I guess I fall in here :) My tickers tell all, as well as my diary thread, what have I had today.... Breakfast 225 ml skimmed milk 30 g Honey Nut Loops Lunch Mini pitta pocket Thin spread of Philadelphia extra light wafer...

It'll take me from that 'extremely obese' to the 'obese' area on the BMI chart, funny how one word seems to kick you into an area that has people jumping up and down isn't it! Well if I COULD jump up and down that is! ;) Bunny x

Hi Taz, thanks, I'm in on the monthly challenge, fantastic idea! I put myself down for 5lb and that's gone already! A few long term goals are now needed. :) The lady on the train story freaked me out as well, and all I can hope (:eek:) is that it was down to a high fat intake, but people are...

Well here I am again... I had to go to my local chemist this afternoon (It's bug busting weekend and I had to stock up before the mad rush :-S) and took the opportunity to weigh-in. They have a set of those scales you log into that tracks your weight and tells you how much you weighed at the...

Well here's hoping, but to be honest I'm using them to boost the diet results more than anything. The only REAL change is the fact I'm now ultra aware of the side effects if I don't count my fat intake each day so it's a whole new learning experience! As to things NOT working for you 'I'm not...

Thanks Starlight, I should have pointed that out, she did indeed follow a diet as laid out by her dietitian. I've decided, or 'we've' decided that the best diet for me is the one I feel most comfortable with, that being SS. Further still I think he actually said today that when using Orlistat...

Well I sneaked off and weighed myself this morning and I've dropped another 2lb, still no sign of any side effects, so I'm a happy Bunny! I did dare to go further afield today and ventured to the local High Street, I even went food shopping! I bought fish and had that for dinner this evening, I...

Hi lisa, how long did it take you to get the 3 stone off, what diet did you use and how much fat did you allow per day? Bunny

Since there doesn't seem to be a lot out there about people like me on the Orlistat Journey I thought I'd start a little diary, hopefully it'll highlight the good and the bad points, help people with the what to avoid question and be a reference for me to keep me on track (or direct me back to...

hmmmm...... did the counter work? :rolleyes:

Thank you x

Skin Doctor is fantastic, my other half uses it for spider veins (he skied a lot in the army) and is amazed that after nearly 20 years they have started fading so well. Bunny

Hooray I found you! I KNEW that somewhere on the WWW you lot were hiding! Real women who weigh more than a bread stick and actually share advice and comradery! You're all I ever hoped you'd be and more (or less, depending on where you are on the road to reduction!) A little about me, I'm...
