What happens when your BMI reaches 30 or below, do they take you off it or continue with it until you are a healthy weight?
So many questions! LOL
I'm glad to see you're a night owl like me Debbie!
No-one's tried to take me off it yet - I just have it on my repeat prescription.

It took 17hours. At least I know they do work now lol and thank goodness I was at home and the hubby was at work lol No more roasties in oil again I think lol

Yep you know why now hey!!! Its normal to be constipated at first & I actually never noticed a difference in my stools cos I ate completely to the rules for fear of a visit from Mr T.... You don't have to have a difference for them to work I promise x

Oops! That only happened to me once, fortunately, and I was at home too as it was Christmas. Now I stop taking the tablets if I know I'm going to be eating higher fat.

Well they reckon it can be up to 72 hours, but I only tend to leave it off for a day beforehand. As I was saying on another thread, we all seem to have different tolerance levels, so it's a matter of trial and error. Maybe it's because I've been on them for a long time, but I can actually tolerate fairly high levels of fat with no effect, but that's by no means everyone's experience!
