Just at the 3 stone loss, and have been stuck on this for a few weeks 😩 

Have dropped from a size 16 to 12/14 so very happy about that 👍 

But can't seem to shift the rest as fast as I'd like, 

Anyone else got to this point where the loss is slowing down? 

Been on these tablets 4 months and weight loss was very fast at the beginning just a little frustrating now 😔 

Any tips??

    Hi Linzi, I was going to ask docs for these pills as I have put on over 2 stone and I have tried everything and can't shift it. I have prob with my bowels and I was wondering if you had any side effects taking them. Also will the doc prescribe them no bother? Thanks.

      I've had no side effects luckily, just the odd stomach ache if I've eaten to much!

      I've stuck to the same food, meat and veg, spag Bol, chilli and rice, salads and toast and cereals, oh and marshmallows as a sweet treat! 

      I personally had no problem being prescribed them as I've had knee surgery after knee surgery the past few years and not being able to move much had piled on 4 stone the last 2 years! I'm just over 3 stone down in 5 months and would like to loose another 2, even at a size 8 in my early twenties I've never been less than 9 stone! 

      I hope the docs do t have problems giving them you

    I started these on Monday I've got a lot to lose well done on ur loss, I was just wondering what have u found it best to eat as I read 15g fat maximum each meal 3 times a day but I was thinking carbs and sugar need to cut out too as this makes you put on weight 

    I'm so confused about tablets food etc

    The doctor told me nothing

    Hi Linzi

    Well done on your weight loss - I'm just reading looking for a little inspiration after a bad start this week!

    I hope you get through your plateau and get the last few stone off!
