Hi. Rosie , what is xenical?

 

[rosie1234]

Hi. Rosie , what is xenical?

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 eating foods which are less than 5g of fat per 100g of the product. If it sounds like something you want to try then talk to your doctor about it

[Lexie2005]

Good day but are you ok with cheese? I never dared touch it!

 

[rosie1234]

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 because I love eggs loads lol and I am limiting any fried foods as much as I can.

How're you getting on hun? You're so so close to your goal weight! xx

That's great! Have you tried eggs fried with fry light?

Yeah I'm ok, I got 5.5lbs from goal then lost the plot sadly & gained some back... Am now trying the 5:2 diet to get to goal

 

[rosie1234]

I brought it once but it was still giving me side effects so just avoiding frying in general now lol.

Aww hun don't feel too bad about it, everyone has bad moments but at least you've kept going on I am also trying out the 5:2 diet. My last fast days were Sunday and Monday but going to change them and stick with Monday and Wednesday, because I weigh in on Thursday's and I've read it's good to have 1 of your fast days the day before you weigh in. It will also help me in other ways because I get paid on Wednesday's fortnightly and normally I get a naughty breakfast as a treat so if I have Wednesday's as my fast day I'll stick to 500 calories, instead of getting a 500 calorie breakfast lol! It'll be really difficult on my payday's though and I'll probably say to myself "why did I do this to myself?" but it needs to be done! It'll also save me money. I'm going to buy a fruit salad instead, only about 65 calories per 100g in that I love fruit so it'll be a nice change.

Good luck to you hun on losing the last of your lbs xx

 

[rosie1234]

I'm really loving the step machine! It's a great workout for me and I've been using it everyday since Wednesday, I am now using it at a faster pace and sweating more I've also decided I'm going to start the 30 day shred on Monday. I've been wanting to do it before but never actually got up and done it lol. I know everyone's different so everyone gets different results from it, but I would like to lose a few inches from my waist and hips in the next month and if I get good results I will keep doing it

I am feeling really proud of myself 1st day of Level 1 30 Day Shred done It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be for my 1st day but I know it's going to get more difficult. I was sweating loads lol but the 30 minutes went by really quickly. I feel fine after my workout

I am only expecting a minimum 1lb loss on Thursday on the scales because of all the exercise I've been doing.

I am quite sure that the cause of my 3.8lb loss last Thursday was because of the 5:2 diet and exercise My last fast days were Sunday the 24th and Monday the 25th of March and then I weighed in on Thursday.

My fast days are now Monday and Wednesday and I'm going to stick with that. So today is a fast day, I didn't really have much to eat that was low calories because when I last did my shopping I forgot that I was going to start the 5:2 diet lol

Today's fast day meals:

Breakfast - 4 ryvita cracker breads with a thin spread of jam on

Lunch - 2 small oranges (100g)
- 2 ryvita cracker breads with jam

Dinner - 2 potato waffles
- Quarter of a tin of baked beans

Total calories 497

Exercise:

- 1 hour and 22 minutes on the step machine
- Day 1 Level 1 of 30 day shred

[SarahB]

Sounds like you are doing really well.

I have got the 30DS, I did it for 2 days in a row and I ached in places i never knew could ache! I haven been really bad with my exercise lately and really need to get my bum moving!

Thank you Sarah

I just do it on Youtube, there's no point for me to buy the DVD lol. The beginning is tough but once you keep doing it it gets easier and easier because it becomes part of your daily routine There's nothing wrong with having a day or 2 off for your body to rest, even Jillian says to rest if you're aching to prevent injuries. Good luck with starting the exercise again. You'll feel better for it knowing you're doing all you can xx

 

[SarahB]

I have Jillian as my avatar on my fitness pal, the plan was that she would motivate me every time I log in..... Still doesn't stop me from eating naughtiness though!

Maybe I Should imagine her shouting at me.... That might help. Lol.
