Weight Loss - How long?

I've only been on Orlistat (Xenical) for 3 days now, so I haven't weighed myself yet but good things has happened - I haven't had any accidents, I'm not as hungry anymore and I'm getting a lot of exercise done with the low-fat diet. 

My actual question here is to ask someone (ANYONE) this: How long did it take you to lose a fair amount of weight? I need to lose 36kg's (roughly 79 pounds) and I'm not certain how long it will take me. I would love it to set a goal date, if I know it's achievable. 

so... HOW MANY pounds/lbs (or kg's) DO YOU LOSE A WEEK, while on orlistat? 

PS. I follow a strict low-fat diet, daily (moderate) exercise and drink xenical (obviously).

Thanks smile
