Hey all. I'm back at my highest weight ever! Back in 2012 I lost 50lbs in 6 months. Over the years I gained the 50lbs back and then in 2019 I wasn't well and got down to my goal weight (through illness) so not in a healthy way. Now I am on medication which makes me gain weight. I also have PCOS...

Hey everyone. How're you doing? I've had a good few days and on track. 4.4lbs down!

Afternoon everyone. Got a STS this morning :) very happy with that. Got today and tomorrow off and had finished at 2pm on Sunday so enjoying the hot weather.

Weigh in tomorrow, I'd be happy with a STS as I've been naughty and treated myself a couple of times this week. Also I have found another walking route from work to home and I went that way today and obviously was still sweating everywhere but the hill I walked up was nothing compared to the...

Hey hun. Don't put yourself down. You've been doing great! Allow your body time and you will see losses if you stick to it. Stay positive. You can do this! We all know how you feel hun. I had a small takeaway on the weekend but I enjoyed it because I deserved it. I think we all deserve "bad"...

I'm not a big fan of raspberry so I didn't try it this time. I've had the strawberry one before and that was lovely, the chocolate one was much better with cream on the top :) perfect drink for the weather x

So today I drank loads and loads of water (need to start drinking more so it's a start). I walked 70 minutes today. Was great!! I haven't eaten much but I had a Belgian chocolate cooler from costa, yummmm!

Lol thanks hun :) x

So yesterday an hour before I finished work I kept debating whether to walk home or buy a new 10 trip bus ticket and get the bus back. In the end I decided to get the bus and went out to the bus stop but walked straight past it the way I walk back home so I changed my mind at the last second...

Great work hun. All the walking will definitely pay off xx

Lol I love cheese but I hardly ever use to buy it but recently I've been buying a small 250g block once a fortnight and Xenical is fine with it luckily :) I've noticed if I have fried foods like fried eggs etc, that is when I get side effects, that's why I'm just making eggs in any other ways...

Hi there :) Orlistat, also know as Xenical, is a diet pill that your doctor can prescribe to you if your BMI is over 30. You take it 3 times a day with your meals and it absorbs 1 3rd (1/3) of the fat that you eat. You get best results if you stick to the rules of eating 15g of fat per meal and...

Hey everyone. Eeeekkk really excited that I finally got my steps machine :D I tried it out for like 1 minute and my heart beat was already racing so much and my legs didn't ache at all, so it is SO much better than skipping because when I skip my calves hurt a lot so I have to stop skipping at...

Hey everyone, hope everyone's diet is going well. Food for me has been good overall. I have decided after research and other people's results to start doing the 5:2 diet. I didn't deliberately start it, I was just having a bad day on Sunday and without realising I only ate 500 calories, so...

It's fine hun, a bit personal but just don't want to say because it's probably silly as well, I'll message you about it :) I'm fine now thanks xx

Today's meals: Breakfast - 1 fried egg - 2 slices of toast - Half a tin of beans Lunch - 1 banana Dinner - 2 Mexican style bean burgers (OMG I love them! :D) - Half a tin of beans - Little bit of mash - 1 tbs of mayonnaise

Thanks hun, I'm fine now. Was just having a bad morning. Soz I don't want to say, just going to report them if I have the same problem next time I'm there! I wouldn't be able to not weigh weekly lol. 1 week goes really quickly for me so it's right for me :) When I get a still the same I am...

Thank hun. Was just really peed off...and I still am because of stupid pharmacists as well! And yh I forgot that if you gain muscle the scales go up, thanks for reminding me that :) I take measurements once a month but I haven't lost any inches from my waist or hips, some months it says I have...

I don't understand how I lose lbs when I don't exercise, but the 1st week that I do exercise for 5 days in a row, I lose nothing :( :confused: :mad: I REALLY wanted to at least be in the 12's by now :( So yh I got ANOTHER still the same...That's my 5TH one now since the 1st of November! I could...

Weigh in tomorrow! I'm excited to see if exercising will be paid off yet or not. I have decided to go ahead and buy the exercise stepper and going to use it as much as I can. I will be getting it next Wednesday :D Can't wait! I do like skipping but it is still hurting my calves a lot during my...

Today's meals: Breakfast - Bowl of Honey Shreddies - 250ml of semi-skimmed milk Lunch - 2 chicken flavoured noodles packets Dinner - Homemade sweet and sour chicken - Small plate of egg fried rice - 60g of prawn crackers

Yh true lol. I've had 4 STS's since I started Xenical though. So don't want another one lol

Lol Chinese is also my favourite if I'm in the mood for it lol. And yh LOADS of salt! Hopefully it won't effect me too much when I weigh in on Thursday lol.

I've been naughty! :ashamed0005: Breakfast was all good, bowl of honey shreddies and milk. Lunch was a fish finger sandwich with ketchup - 3 fish fingers. And dinner...erm...was bad lol. I thought I deserved a treat because it had been months and months since I had a Chinese takeaway, so I got...

Sounds great! Even though it is tiring and hard work, it'll all be worth it :)

How long are you exercising for in a day and are you doing it all in 1 session or spread out over the day? I can imagine it is tough but you're doing great :) I've done exercise 3 days in a row now and not going to stop unless I have 1 day where I am too sore. Last week I had to exercise every...

Thanks hun :) It feels better the more I am skipping now :) Me and my partner weren't sure what to eat tonight because we didn't know what we fancied lol. But I'm having 1 mexican style bean burger, 2 cod cakes, beans and some mash :) The bean burgers are amazing and I LOVVVEEE them :D How...

Glad you enjoyed your meal. It sounds sooooo yum! You've really deserved it :) You should be very proud of yourself, you're doing really well and not long to go now until you can see how much you've lost! :D

25 minutes of skipping DONE :D Today's meals: Breakfast - Bowl of Honey Shreddies - 250ml of semi-skimmed milk Lunch - 1 banana - Butter and jam sandwich Dinner -1 mexican style bean burger - 2 cod cakes - Beans - Some mash

Haha lol. Thanks for the idea hun :) xx

Thank you Mis :) I think I might just get it lol. I could watch tv while doing it lol xx

Thanks Alex. Where do you think it would lose fat? I've got a week and a half to decide so will look into it more :)

Opinions please? Ahh I'm confused and in 2 minds. Someone is selling something quite cheap. I think the name for it is called an exercise stepper. At 1st when I looked at the picture, I thought it was an exercise bike, but it's not :( I know what it is now and I have used 1 before, but I...

Hey everyone. Hope you're all well :) Did skipping yesterday for 15 minutes, going to aim for 20 minutes today but I would be happy with a minimum of 15 minutes. Today's meals: Breakfast - Bowl of Honey Shreddies - 250ml of semi-skimmed milk Lunch - Half a plate of left over mushroom sauce...

So even though I do have a 2 week meal plan, sometimes I have to change it if I change my food shopping a little bit. But now that me and my partner are both on Xenical, we're going to eat pretty much the same stuff so the day before we do our food shopping, we're going to change some...

Yes I can :) Lol Aww hope you feel less tired soon. Yeay red nose day lol :) xx

Thank you hun :) I think I'll be able to do it if I stay on track, which I will :) Aww lol well I didn't want you to :) How're you today? xx

Thank you :) I don't think I could do 4 day in a row. My ankles and legs would hurt too much! I'm thinking Today, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday if I can. I will try to do everyday or 5 days if I can :)

Just weighed in and I've lost 1lb :D Happy with that. Next week to meet my short term goal I need to lose 2.4lbs! I will do it :D I'm not going to have any "naughties" or "bad days". And I'm going to exercise 4 times for a minimum of 20 minutes! :)

Me to lol. Weighing in 5 mins! Thank you :) Haha, sorry for influencing you to cheese lol! It's all good, hurts a little bit but it's fine. Going to do more exercise later today :D Lol I know but I don't want you to feel left out hun :) xx

Thank you :) and yh I didn't want to make it worse or actually sprain my ankle like I did in November lol.

Thanks hun, it was fine again after I rested it :) Brought some AMAZING cheese! I've had it before and I loved it, it's Applewood Smoked Cheddar. Can't explain my love for it lol. I don't buy cheese that often though so I thought I was allowed some now hehe :) And oh ok, well good luck for...

I did 15 minutes of skipping! :) My only problem with not doing longer is my legs and ankles really ached :( I don't know how to not make them ache. I do a little warm up before and I drink water during, but I have to keep stopping to take a little break. I had to stop because my ankle felt...

Lmao! How're you today hun? Did you weigh in today? x

Lmao, yum! Lol. I'm just going to buy stuff that isn't crap when it's a few days until payday like bread, milk and a few pasta sauces. Normally a few days before payday I don't have anything to go with pasta and I don't fancy pasta and chicken on it's own lol. How is your plan going? :) Oh and...

Had a lovely BLT baguette for breakfast this morning :) Weighing in tomorrow. I am not expecting a loss though because I have had a few naughties. I find it a little difficult when it's about 4 days before payday and there's not much left except boring stuff lol. Did the shopping today though...

I wouldn't say I have a weakness for cakes and desserts lol, this is my 1st one in 6 months. I had completely forgotten about banoffee pie because when I go to tesco express at my local shops I don't go to the freezer bit but when I was deciding what to buy I remembered that I haven't had...

I hope it is! Thanks

Thanks hun, I did chill for the rest of yesterday evening and this evening. But I had some banoffee pie today! Banaoffee pie is my most favorite thing ever and the last time I had some was about 6 months ago and I needed some again lol. Also my partner has come up with a dessert idea and he's...

Just stressed because I'm not pregnant yet and my temps are driving me crazy! They're like a roller coaster! Just fed up because I know that I won't ever get pregnant, I just know it. Also the fact that it's Mothers Day makes it worse! x

Going to do some exercise soon to try to take my mind off the stress from trying to conceive :( Today's meals: Breakfast - 1 sachet of Golden Syrup Porridge - 180ml of semi-skimmed mik - 1 banana Lunch - 2 slices of wholemeal bread - Egg mayo Dinner - 1 breaded cod fillet - Half a tin of...

My calves are feeling better today, going to do some more exercise tomorrow :) Today's breakfast and lunch was good, but I was a little bit naughty at dinner. I had a stressful day and me and my partner went to the shops and he got a pepperoni pizza which was half price and I saw some...

Thanks hun, we have been motivating each other as much as we can since we've started dieting :) And good idea, I took mine a few months ago but not taken another one yet but I know I've lost inches because I have to keep pulling my jeans up every 2 seconds!! It's so annoying because the next...

Happy to say my partner is joining me on Xenical :) We both started our healthy eating lifestyle on November the 1st 2012, but my partner wanted to lose some weight by himself first before going on Xenical. He got weighed by his Doctor yesterday and he has lost 2 stone since he last saw his...

Only just saw this, sorry lol. You weren't being awkward lol, I understand :) Thanks hun, and yh sure, Xenical (or Orlistat) is a diet pill that I got prescribed by my Doctor. There's a whole topic about it on the forum x

Good luck :) What did you end up eating last night? x

Oh I see, that's difficult then! What about getting something from the shops that won't cost a lot. Sorry I'm not much help...I haven't had jaffa cakes in aggeesss lol I use to love them! Are you sticking with weighing weekly? xx

Gdgd and you should try to already eat dinner so that you will be full if he does get a takeaway and keep drinking water to keep you full. I know how hard it is but try to be strong! xx

My meals today: Breakfast - 1 weetabix - 1 banana - 180ml of semi-skimmed milk Lunch - 2 slices of wholemeal bread - Egg mayonnaise (2 eggs and a little light mayonnaise) Dinner - Plate of pasta - 60g Sweet Chilli & Garlic Sauce - 2 chicken breast fillets

Thanks hun :) How're you today? x

Hopefully they should be ok by tomorrow or later this afternoon. I might need to stretch them for longer next time too x

Thank you hun :D Both of my calves are still sore :( I wish they were better so I can do more exercise, but I can't even walk properly! Is it meant to be like this? :/ xxx

That's good :) And lol yh I can imagine. I just take everyday as it comes and time has been going fast for me. Can't believe it's been 4 months since I started Xenical. Feels like yesterday lol. I'm sure the time will fly by :) I'm looking forward to seeing how much you lose!

Lol I meant like when I do skipping I just stop for about 15 seconds when I need to and I have some cold water lol, but that's good :) April will be here soon :)

Lol :D Thank you! It's great because I've been eating really well and doing exercise and the work has paid off. Now I know that I can lose a lot every week if I give it my all and I will do :D

Thank you hun :) How're you doing? x

Hope you're doing well on the diet Rach x

You're welcome and I can imagine. Just make sure to rest after you've exercised and drink water while exercising. I can just about make myself do exercise a few times a week but I am doing it 4 times a week now to see how much I can push myself, and I have been. My legs hurt from yesterdays...

Glad to hear you're having a good start. You can do this :) All your hard work will be paid off when you see how much you have lost. It's great to have a routine/plan. Good luck!

Weighig in!!! :D OMG, I had to check my scales 3 times because I couldn't believe it!! I have lost 3LBS this week. OMG I am sooooooooooooo happy :D Just goes to show that if you really try your best then you will get results. I am definitely doing exactly the same from now on. No more f**k...

Well just go as long as you can without weighing yourself and then I'm sure you'll see another loss :) Thank you hun :) I really hope I get a good lose. I want at least a 2lb lose. The past 2 weeks, the only bad things I've eaten is, a bit of chocolate, 1 and a half slices of small squared...

Thanks for the advice hun. I only didn't take anything today because I was only there for 3 hours, but it takes an hour to get there! Going to take a pot noodle tomorrow and a sandwich :) x

Thanks :) And wow 3lbs is amazing for 1 week :) Well done. How often are you going to weigh in? I weigh every Thursday. I can't wait any longer than a week lol xx

Lol ok, I'll weight in half an hour after I've woken up and I'll put my results on here :) For dinner I'm having a cod fillet and beans with some ketchup :) Thank you. How was your weigh in today? x

I feel so bad and weak!! Today I was on a 2 day course and I didn't have enough time for my normal breakfast, so I ate a banana...and then at my course I had 2 hot chocolates (all drinks were free lol), and then someone who I was talking to on the course was getting the same bus back as me...

Haha, I've also been enjoying it while it lasts :) I needed to take advantage of it lol. I wish it was like that on most days though :(

It was lovely hehe. The whether is amazing when it's really sunny :) x

But I'm not going to eat anything "bad". We're taking a picnic with us so it's full of healthy stuff, I've made lots of different sandwiches, fruit salad, potato salad and tuna pasta salad :) xx

Thanks hun :) Hope you have a good day. It's mine and my partner's day off and it's soooo hot and sunny here so we're going out for the day :) Good thing the refund came through today :D xx

It's all good now lol. I got my refund through into my bank account from Tesco because they messed up on something, so instead of buying chocolate or anything else bad like that, I am going to buy milk :D Normally I would say f***k it and just buy junk, but I love having weetabix and a banana...

It was very yummy :) And well done for not having a portion of chips yourself, I love sweetcorn lol. And wow that isn't long at all! Ahh, a bit annoyed! I've only got enough milk left for another 2 or 3 bowls of weetabix and I can't get anymore until next Wednesday so I'm not sure what other...

Are you meant to use it everyday for half an hour? Sounds good :) Thanks hun, I will try to see if I can find it on youtube. And thanks, I love the food I eat since I've been eating healthily :) Tonight I had fish fingers, beans and mash (smash) :) How about you? xx

Hey hun. Thank you, how're you doing? I did 25 minutes of a good areobics workout that I found on youtube. It was really fun and I was sweating lots haha lol. I just need to get into the routine of exercising lots. I want to start exercising 3 times a week, and then change it to 4 times a week...

That sounds brilliant and I wish you good luck with it. I'm sure if you stick to those 3 things everyday until 1st April, then you will definitely see a big loss. You sound really determined and focused. You can do this!! :D

Today I am going to make myself do a 30 minute aerobics workout. I've got a playlist of songs that lasts about 30 minutes too. It's nice and sunny outside, for once! When it's a sunny day I feel more energetic and I get more things done :) I'm thinking of also buying the 30 day shred DVD and...
