    Hi Maureen. . It is very disheartening. I still haven't been weighed from doctor yet but I think iv lost 5 pounds which I don't think is very good. You have to just keep trying. People loose weight differently depending on their body size metabolism etc. Hang in there and don't give up xx

    Hi Maureen 20256 are you saying that you've just got stuck? You don't say how old you are or your height...but it must be working for you to have lost 2/3 stone. . I'm 55 years old 5"2" and although I've been taking orlistat for almost 12 weeks I've hardy lost much weight...what ever your doing seems to be working so I'd suggest you just keep going.. infact I'd love to know what diet you ate doing even if it is your own ...we'll done on your loss so far.

    Hey Maureen, hang in there girl! We all have our week moments!

    For myself, I try to treat myself on healthy fruit (which I really like) or do an exercise I really love like walking in nature. In this way, my bad feelings will go away...and I'm still doing healthy things. Don't give up, you doing great!
