HURRAY HURRAY
Just been for my 3 month weigh in this afternoon and I have lost 3 STONES now!!!I can't tell you how pleased I am.
I really know nothing and am a bit worried about being guru-ized as I am only a few steps ahead of you. However, I remember being helped by others when I first started in February so if it isn't setting myself up for a fall next month ( which includes a 2 week holiday on All Inclusive) this is what has worked for me so far.
• I weigh and record every single thing I eat and drink other than water
• I aim for 1200-1400 cals a day
• I aim for 25-30g of fat a day with no more than 15g at any sitting - if necessary adding in nuts at a meal to make sure I hit these targets ( I know this sounds very odd and rather counter intuitive, but when I miss the fat targets my loss definitely slows down)
• I force myself to do at least 3 or 4 sweaty exercise sessions a week
• I try to make my fat intake as healthy as possible.
As I say, I really don’t want to set myself up as anything other than a fatty who has managed to lose for 3 months by following these rules – not a GP, not a dietician, not even a long term slimmer yet. However if you would like me to, I can send you my food diary so you can see what I have actually been eating, and I can also send you a spreadsheet I set up for someone else who was trying to work out how much fat was in her portions. They aren’t anything special, but might be a good cross-checker for you if you have lost confidence in your own system. If you want them, you will need to send me your email address so I can forward them.
Anyway keep your chin(s) up and remember that if you eat less and exercise more, it has to work in the end – and the Orlistat does make the progress faster once you get going.

I am new to this and new to the tablets, it is my first day taking them and TBH all I have been reading is horror stories so far.
I would love to see your food intake sheet, it will hopefully give me inspiration. Shall pm you my email address.
Many thanks

Ive only just started with Orlistat and so far have just not eaten any fat as im scared of the side effects!!
I realise this is not the way to get the best out of the tablets.....
You have done so well , Im really pleased for you

I do know others are succesful doing things differently and also having good success. I am happy to share my food diary if you send me a private message with your email address in it.
