My diary..............

I take my lunch to work with me and often have things like a pasta salad, Cous Cous and veggies or Left overs from the night before.
 
Feeling pretty sick today :( not sure if I am worried about work next week or I am coming down with a bug.

Going on holiday in 4 weeks, can't wait x
 
I have been doing this for a week and have lost 7 pound. I am pleased however have found it very hard days over the past few days but I have stuck with it :)

Going on holiday in a four weeks and would love to lose another 7 pounds by then :)
 
Not been a good day today :(

Not sure why though but I have literally eaten everything in sight.

Going to start a fresh tomorrow.

Got three weeks until I go back and see the doctor and I have got to have lost a stone by then.

Give it a few days and it will go down as the foods you ate process through your intensional tract :) just continue eating as you should for weight loss :)
 
Went to see the doctor today.....

Got my results from the blood test I had the other week.

All was ok, could be better.

The doc asked how it was going with orlistat and I was honest, told him not very well.
I explained that I lost 7 pound the first week but the second week went downhill from day 1.
We had a nice chat, was in there for about 20 mins.
I explained I am having trouble keeping motivated.
He explained to me that I need to do something about it now otherwise I will end up with more health problems and be a lot of heavier.

He also asked if I was depressed or stressed and I said not particulary I am normally a happy bubbly person but on occasions I do have a bad day where I am a little moody and sad (normally time of the month)

I also mentioned that I am going to Spain in 3 weeks for 4 days and I said shall I just wait till I get back and start. Doc said no coz I could put on up to a stone by then and with the holiday too.

He asked me to pick a day to start so I said Monday.

He gave me a diet plan to stick too which looks good and I will need to do some food shopping.

We talked about exercising and I am going to try and exercise for 1 hour every day.

We spoke about what to eat whilst I am away and he told me I don't have to pig out to have a great time. Eat plenty of fruits and salads he said.

So I walked out of there with a 6 week prescription for orlistat and I have to go back on the 25th October and he wants me to have lost between 14-20 which roughly works out at 2-3 pound a week.

I have come to realise that this is really my final chance and I have just GOT to make it work.

Sorry for the long post x

At least he sounds supportive of you though. Doctors like that make you want to try

Can you ask your Dr for an exercise referral? My GP referred me to a programme designed to kick start exercise. It's basically reduced rates gym for 12 weeks and you get support.
 
You can do it, back to basics for a few days, sounds like we're a similar starting weight etc, I've got a bit of a diary going have a read and maybe we can check in on each other over next few weeks!

3 weeks before your holiday you could lose a decent amount before then and think how much better you will feel on holiday xx
