Hello

[phenomenalgemma1034]

Just wanted to say hi....

This is my first day with orlistat.
I have tried numerous diets before but in the end I always seem to put on more than when I started.
I have about 5 stone to lose.
I have also signed up for my fitness pal.
I have joined a gym too.
I have set myself mini goals, the first one being that I would like to lose a stone in 8 weeks.

Have a great day

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

Hi There!
Your story sounds just like mine!! I had also tried every single diet going... Just could not keep to any of them or keep any weight off. Until I hopped aboard as you are now. ;-)
MFP will be a life saver!
I hope you enjoy the journey, wishing you lots of luck!

Absolutely loving it!! Im 12 weeks in and seeing fabulous results which along with the gang on here continue to spur me on. I never ever thought that this progress was possible. Haven't had any bad experiences as ive stuck to the rules completely and not strayed at all. Not even a lick..lol I've enjoyed discovering new ways of being able to treat myself and new ways of cooking etc.... Cannot rate it high enough! I have my follow up with my Dr on the 9th Aug...and i might just kiss her!!

Hi there! Similar story to me.... tried everything lol. I have finally realised that there is no "quick fix" and no miracle fix that will magically make me slim and healthy. It's going to take a healthy diet and a more active lifestyle with exercise.

I am taking Alli to supplement this, when I have lost a few lbs more I will get Xenical from the doctors. I know it isn't a magic pill but honestly.... it scares me in to making healthy choices and I am hoping that once I have been scared in to making the healthy choices, eventually those choices will come naturally and I won't need it anymore.

I'm only one week in and had a fantastic first week loss that I am very pleased with. Going forward I would be happy to lose 1lb a week.

Good luck, am sure you will do great!
