Hello guys, ive been taking orlistat since June 10th 2016 and ive lost nearly 80lbs which im over the moon abt,

The only thing that is worrying me is the doc said these are my last lots of medication and im so so worried all the weight will come back,

To be honest i do exercise alot and ovcourse eat very sensibly which i will never change,

Is there anyone that can advice me that has been in a similar position,

Will be so grateful x

      2b honest when i started the first couple of months were abt 1lbs but wen i upped my exercise it was somewhere between 2-3 lbs,

      Since then the weight seems to drop without feeling im actually on a diet,

      Plus im not startving myslf in anyway,

      I would say orlistat deffo works but my doc says i do alot of exercise aswel xx

      trust me u wont even realise how the weight will drop off,

      When doc told me i have 8stones to lose i was terrified but wen i stopped thinking abt losing weight and just tried to enjoy healthy eating and exercise it got easier,

      Only 2stones to go
