Hello how long have you been on Xenical? are you sticking to the rules?

I would never have surgery too risky and you always hear of botch up jobs on the NHS. You have only just started it's going to take a year or so to get rid of the weight you want to lose that is nothing time does fly. You will feel better about yourself if you do it through your own hard work...

Hi Well done and good luck :)

Well done also remember to drink loads of water it helps with the bloating/wind :)

Thanks so much Pudders :) x

Hello I use it you can use it to make sauces or put on a jacket potato you can use it either for sweet or savoury it is quite sour or use in a lasagne basically replacing the cheese although you can also do this with natural yogurt :)

Aw thanks so much Ronnnie :) x

Hi Drink plenty of water to help with the constipation you will lose weight from the tablets just stick at it. Although i didn't think they would prescribe it to someone who was your weight i thought you had to be a lot heavier. Forcing yourself into Anorexia isn't going to help you long term...

Hi Foods should be 5g of fat per 100g also track everything you eat on MFP and drink plenty of water. Good Luck

Hi Kerry, No problem i also forgot to add make sure you drink plenty of Water :) x

Hello, stick to the 5g per 100g rule and the weight will come off Good Luck. Also use myfitnesspal to track everything

Hello Yes if does work- if you stick to the rules i have lost over 4 stone with it and i started on Jan 13th of this year. If you do decide to go back on them stick to the rules and the weight will come off Good Luck :)

Everytime you want to eat something bad or get a craving just think of how you will look in a new outfit that's much more worth it. So far your food is good also remember to drink plenty of water (also fills you up) :)

Yes fruit and Vegetables are all good to snack on. Plus you can have low fat yogurt i like muller lights or snack a jacks

Hello, You will have the side effects with a pizza unless you can find one that is 5g of fat or less per 100g. Why don't you make a healthy meal that both of you can enjoy otherwise you are going to be in a cycle of stop start with the tablets. You could have the pizza Saturday and stay in all...

Hi Watch your fat intake and drink plenty of water, i found using MFP helps me to track everything Good Luck

If your serious about these tablets you wont want to cheat i think you have to stop taking them about 3 or 4 days to avoid side effects but whats the point. How much did you lose before on the tablets? I dont think with me i had side effects on what i ate the day before i took them but i suppose...

Aww Thankyou :) one thing i would suggest is sign up to MFP and track all your food on there so you know exactly how much cals/fat you are eating :) x

Welcome and Good Luck :)

Hello, for me personally i prefer to get my weight checked once a month at the doctors, if i had a scales at home i would be obsessing too much i think some people get caught up in the whole weighing thing and start weighing themselves everyday i really don't get that. If you forgot to take your...

Well done :)

Hello and Good Luck :)

Hello Good Luck :)

Hello How are you getting on? :)

Hello and thankyou :) I started on January 13th and so far have lost 3 stone. I am taking it in small stages and my next goal is to get to 12 stone. Exercise wise i have been doing walking that's about it, although i have just got an exercise DVD which i will be using this week i walk...

Thankyou :) X

Once a month at the Doctors :)

Hello, Good Luck :)

Fantastic well done love your dress, you look like a different person

Tuna is fine the one is spring water or Brine. I personally haven't eaten Salmon on these tablets so can't really say and as long as you use lean mince and boil off fat etc you should be fine. The Mackerel is over the 5g rule shame as i love it

Hello and Good Luck :)

Hello :) Aw thankyou! :) i have actually lost 3 stone since starting these have updated my profile glad the weight is coming off. How are you getting on with the tablets? x

'treatwise' i would say Snack a jacks or WW desserts or cassava snacks, Muller Lights are nice too. Light Mayo has no taste to me so i just don't eat any Mayo at all the full fat one is the nicest and i can't have that so i just don't bother. :)

Another 11lb off this weigh in

Hi Yw, I don't really count the calories i generally just stick to the fat content and i use Myfitnesspal i think it really helps to keep you on track of exactly what you are eating! Also you can start a diary on here (Xenical Diaries) Good Luck :)

Hi You could eat as if you were on the tablets (stick to the guidelines no more than 5g fat per 100g and no more than 15g per meal) also fill up on water. Good Luck :)

Hello i am currently on week 10, i just focus on the fat content not the calories. I get weighed every month x

Good Luck :)

Hello Well done on your weight loss. When you have oil it means you have been eating too much fat :)

As long as you stick to the rules you will be fine (5g of fat per 100g) Good Luck :)

I also eat Ryvita as i don't eat bread. If you feel more comfortable wear a sanitary towel but as long as you stick to the rules you won't get any of those side effects. You can't have cheese (i eat cottage cheese as that is within the rules)

Hi You don't need to wear a pad unless you plan on eating a lot of fat. You need to make sure all foods are under 5g of fat per 100gs i have a diary posted which shows what i eat i generally have cereal for Brekfast soup or baled potato with salad for munch (and sometimes the same for dinner...

I couldn't have scales in the house i would be obsessing too much. You can have Haribo and boiled sweets.

Hi Anna, I was told by my GP not to eat nuts as they are full of fat even a few! i know you said you drink shakes but i don't know anything about those. Meatwise i have only ate chicken or Turkey and if you fry those make sure you use a spray oil. Tuna is the one is spring water pretty...

Meals yesterday were cornflakes for breakfast snack a jacks for lunch and dinner was Maggi Chicken with green beans and broccoli 2 boiled new potatoes and a couple of potatoes that had been cooked in the bag of Maggi

Hello, Your meals are fine but the thing with sticking to the same foods all the time is that it can become quite boring and don't forget to drink lots of water. I noticed you haven't had any potatoes or rice have you cut those out completely? I have just completed week four. Good Luck with...

Last two days Breakfast have been Shreddies then Ryvitas and salad dinner has been mixed beans and pasta and last night was wholemeal pasta with a tomato onion and garlic sauce. Today breakfast was Rice Krispies Lunch will be Roasted Sweet Potato and something... Dinner will be HM stir fry with...

Hi The first time i took them it took me about a month to see the difference, my GP said you do not have to exercise with them but obviously it helps. I also thought if i just stuck to low fat and didn't take the tablets it would have the same effect as i am watching what i am eating but there...

Today Breakfast was the same as yesterday Lunch was 4 Ryvitas with Marmite and Cottage Cheese Dinner was Turkey and a Stir Fry

As Long as they in are in date it would be fine. I had some left over from my previous time and i was also going to take them before seeing my GP (started them again 3 days ago) but i didn't.. it is your choice, you could eat as though you are on the tablets up until your appointment then you...
