Ahhh I forgot about this! I've only just got my new supply of xenical 2 months worth yay! I'll update from next week as I can't remember when my last loss was. I know I've roughly stayed the same since I ran out of xenical. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done! I'll check again later but I think I'm staying the same for last week. The birthday day turned into a birthday week. And although I've not had side effects from the xenical I wasn't as careful with calories etc and I think this is why I've sts. Back on track for this week though...

I'm ok with eggs too. Something I think you need to try for yourself. We've got pulled pork for tea done in the slow cooker mostly. I've just made a BBQ sauce and bunged it in the oven for the last half hour and it smells gorgeous I can't wait! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

It might be thought as a load of old tosh it's surprising how many GP's still use BMI when they weigh you! Good Luck everyone! Liz x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I should have said it was from a butchers and I chose the bits that got minced, so I chose the bits with little to no fat on it! Sorry I was out earlier re-reading it back through I realised how it sounds. It wasn't supermarket minced lamb!!! That's what I was trying to get at with just using...

Yeah I did and no doubt I might pay for it tomorrow it didn't look too fatty but I guess you never know. What I did think though is you could just use extra lamb steaks yeah it could be more expensive, but trimming all the fat off I think it could be really low fat as you smoosh it all down...

Well I made the hairy dieters kebabs. I added more mince in but I didn't use any oil or fry light but dry fried them. They were so yummy!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

What I love about losing weight is.... My work trousers don't feel so tight anymore. I probably needed a size bigger but I was managing to squeeze into the size I have. Ok they aren't loose, that will be my next goal that I need a belt and eventually new ones, but at least they aren't cutting me...

I'd like it a bit more constant I guess. Ideally I'd like to try something like a paleo diet or a specific PCOS one but I've realised I need to do it a step at a time not just cut it out all at once as that's when I'm more likely to fail. Thanks for all your support as always, Liz x Sent from...

I just wondered as a one off for the lamb mince that was all. I seem to be settling back into the good eating habits now. I've got a sandwich tonight but I've got pieces of fruit. I had a veggie packed salad yesterday. I agree with eating less sugar. I'm going to get settled on eating low fat...

Will it matter if you have a low fat rest of the day and stay within your 45g per day? I can get away with that just. 17.8 today I've added it on mfp but I guess I will fluctuate over the week and if I'm heavier at the weekend I will put it up. I always eat less on my first night so I presume...

That looks yummy how do you do that! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I was leaning more towards chicken fajitas I don't normally like lamb but I love donners so go figure :/ Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm struggling today with how to take my xenical going onto nights. I think I will skip my breakfast one then take it with my meal in the middle of the night. I also have to remember to have something to eat to take my xenical when I wake up this week. Usually I'm terrible and just wait for my...

Thanks I've got a couple of them in that I can use. When I was younger I never liked laughing cow or dairylea triangles but I'd like to try that sort of thing again, unfortunately they don't come in the pick your own cheese section in the supermarkets so it seems such a waste to buy if I don't...

One thing I do wonder is what to people use instead or butter/marg in sandwiches. Sometimes if I'm short on time all I have time to make is a sandwich. But I find it dry sometimes with nothing but the filling especially if its just ham. Could I use the extra low fat mayo or do you all use...

This all stemmed from the sauce incident, I'd had a bit of that and slowly little bits kept creeping back in and I had the effects of too much fat yesterday. I am a lot better today. But I'm starting to realise my main issue is my head and my thought process. I can eat healthily I've cut my fat...

I downloaded on my iPhone on my kindle app at work, then my mum bought it whilst shopping. Some gorgeous recipes in there I can't wait to try. My sister got her A-level results yesterday so we had a celebration tea of steak, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, sweet potato chips and ordinary chips...

Yes I probably did! I don't need my mum telling me to stop taking it as its giving me problems. She had bad problems with it years ago but they didn't have the eat less than 5g of fat per 100 rule back then and that if you didn't have the orange effect it wasn't working. And yes maybe it will...

So today I realised how easy it is to slip back into old habits. I prepared tea all low fat, dished it up went to the fridge and got out the colmans spicy garlic sauce and squirted it on my plate. Then I realised my fatal mistake it has 27.6 grams of fare 100grams eeek! So I just dipped a few...

Has anyone tried the lemon flavoured quark - it's lovely! Unfortunately I tried it before I started xenical on a digestive but I'm determined to find something guilt free I can have it with now I've started taking them! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think I've found it was probably the effects of the leftovers from the night before I started xenical. I've been fine since just a bit windy.It doesn't look like I'm eating too much fat, according to mfp I've been under my 45g of fat everyday since I started. I more wanted to see whether I...

So I've just had the first lot of orange through. I've felt fine all day but I stupidly had cheese omelette for lunch so I don't know if it was the cheese or the eggs! Hopefully it was a mixture of both. I had lots of salad with it and it was yummy so I don't feel too guilty it was something I...

Thank you :) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

So for me it was either xenical or weight management group. I've tried the group before but I started working and the option I chose didn't fit in with my working pattern and they wouldn't let me swap without being re-referred again! I decided to give xenical a try as I thought what harm would...

I was also worried about taking my first tablet - in fact it's taken me 2 weeks to do it! Now I've had two and I feel ok so far. It's a bit windy but I did a massive pile of ironing this morning so probably didn't concentrate on drinking enough although I did think about it! I'm planning on...

Glad someone asked this as I wondered also! Completely forgot about leaving my multivitamin til tonight as I've started xenical today and before I always took my multivitamin on a morning. One day won't hurt and I will make myself remember tomorrow!

I've just started on xenical but can I join in please? I'm really hoping this works as I guess my next stop is surgery eeek! As I've just started I don't really know what a realistic goal is so can I say 14lbs for now but alter it if I manage to go over that amount please? Thanks all and good...

I think some of it is your body needs time to retrain to your new regime and way of eating. And when people put weight back on when they go off track is because its what your body is used to and so gains its energy from that as quickly as possible as it doesn't know when the junk food will go...

The only target I've got so far is to get into a size 16-18. When I started back on slimming world this time I am living at home with my parents and my mum isn't always that helpful with SW. Therefore my weight loss hasn't been as much as when I started at uni. So little targets are more...
