Last week after all my hard work I went to SW and stayed the same I was gutted!!. All my friends can eat what they want and stay thin sad. I hate being young

    I know exactly how you feel.  But remember that by exercising you will be gaining muscle which by mass is heavier.

    Don't give up. 

    You will get there.

    Staying the same is better than gaining xx

    Don't get yourself down about it staying the same is better than putting it on. Iv been taking orlistat now for 9 days and I haven't dared to get on the scales again yet I'm absolutely dreading it think I'm going to wait for the 4 week mark before getting on the scales again.
