    If you've lost 5lb in a week, you must be doing something right 😀 I have also been on the tabs for a week and haven't lost anything! I have been conscious of cooking low fat meals and am denying myself any treats. I don't understand why no pounds have shifted! 😔😔

      I look up recipes and find bbcgoodfood a good one. Made nice salmon fish cakes last night. They give nutrition facts so you can keep to low fat options. Good luck.

    Thats a great loss Susan.  I lost just over 7llb in my first week and I went on to lose just over  6 stone in 8 months when I was on the tablets back in 2014.  I weighed 114kg with a bmi of 39.  When I stopped Orlistat I weighed 74kg and my bmi was just over 25.  As long as you remember to eat low fat and drink plenty of water then you can't go wrong.  After a while the tablets re-educate the way you think when it comes to food choices.  You know you will pay the price with toilet accidents if you eat too much fat !  Keep up the good work and i'm sure the weight will come off before you know it.

      Believe me you will.  Once the weight starts coming off at a steady pace each week/month it encourages you to keep going.  Use your holiday as your motivation.  Just think of all the new clothes you are going to buy!! Good luck biggrin

    Can I ask something? For breakfast I only had a very small bowl of all bran with a little skimmed milk, should I skip the blue pill as it was hardly any fat? X
