feeling amazing!!!
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone, I have been on the tablets for four weeks and I have had no problems other than not loosing as much weight as I would have liked (I'm never satisfied with weight loss) I spoke to my pharmacist after collecting my prescription last week and she suggested cutting down on my carbohydrates (I love all carbs) I was eating them at most meals.
so I've made a few changes, I only drink water now, ive gone from diet coke to squash to water, not an easy transition but I've managed it. I'm using my fitness pal, ive had the app for years but have never used it, it takes the nightmare out of tracking what I'm eating. before I wasn't counting calories and my portion control was way off!
I haven't weighed myself lately as I can get depressed on a daily gain and think what's the point, then loose the next day. I'm trying to wait until my next weigh in on September 2nd eek! I really do feel fantastic!
love happy kate xx

So your carb instake is high? so? i lost 8 stone and i had a high carb intake never did me any harm can you imagine then what your diet was high in before you started?
Sometimes we all need a bit of tough talking. We could all sit and complain about high carbs no food etc then we would all be still big obese lazy gits wouldn't we so come on stop worrying and complaning and get on with it. My weight loss journey at time has been horrendous but i don't sit here complaining about it i go on with it and that is why i am now a size 12 and you CAN BE THAT TOO
As i said i am not being rude but there is a point when something needs to be said..

Re the blog there are veggie and meat (i don't eat meat yet i still post meat baed meals for people that do) plus there is a few posts on advice of what to eat what not to and other helpful advice i don't know why that wouldn't show on your phone.
By coming on here and being pessimistic and saying i can't do this i can't do that your never going to do anything so tell yourself you CAN and you WILL and then do it.
RE: Fussy Eating if your a fussy eater i don't know why your asking what others eat as i am sure you wouldn't eat what they eat? i would try and broaden your food groups as it will help you in the long term.
I ate a ton of carbs (rice and potatoes no bread) and it never did me any harm i really wouldn't worry about carbs just worry about fat i even went over my sugar intake all the time as i eat so much fruit but natural sugar is better than processed carp!

Yes Indeed , you do need to keep a track of your carbs, I am a little guilty of that myself. I have the same ap on my phone, but for the life of me I keep forgetting to use it.
I am happy with the rate I am loosing the weight, as I am very concerned about getting loose excess skin if it comes off too quickly.

You can lose quicker on strict diets, but when you go back to your regular diet, you pile on the pounds again.
I am not uptight about the way I am eating on Orlistat, it is teaching me so much about food and its fat content. I dont even miss mayo in my sandwiches now, which is somehting I never thought I would say!
If you can stick with it and eact correctly, a stone should be no problem for you in 6 weeks.

No breakfast - I started work early and I can't eat too early.
I had an apple mid morning.
lunch I had salad in a sandwich
for my tea 150g of chicken, 1 onion, 1 knorr stock cube, 1 carrot, 100g butternut squash, 1 can of chopped tomatoes, a tin of new potatoes and water, all in a saucepan then transfered to the oven. It was delicious, i'm lucky that I like all veg and often just throw stuff in a pan and like the results.
I had a small bowl of special k later on as a treat as I had lots of calories left. Xx
