First day of orlistat

Oh bless ya! I want to loose about 5 stone so have a huge mountain to climb! But really don't wanna look like this anymore. I have joined rosemary conely slimming class and have my 4th weigh in on Thursday.

I'm finding it easy apart from wanting wine at the weekend, I know we can drink but I know I won't stop at 1or two glasses! Then I get the munchies!!

Good luck and let us know how you get on! And stay away from the Chinese

Oh Ladies help me. ..

Not sure what I was expecting but I have been on the tablets a week today aswell as sticking 100% to the eating low fat and following the rules I have weighed today as I couldn't wait for my first weigh in at slimming world and the boots scales say I've lost just 1lb ... I feel so dissapointed.

I know it's not the result you were after this week but its a pound lighter than you were this time last week.

If you kept that up for a year you would be 3st 10 lighter than you were last week.

The lower than expected result could be your body playing tricks/holding water.

There is talk on here of it taking a week to start to work properly.

Remember it is a pound off and not a pound on!

You are doing so well and I'm sure that next week you will see more off. Xx

Thank you .

I am really dissapointed. I think perhaps I was expecting with my effort and the pill if see magic results. I need to loose 2stone total . I weighed 11lb 13 1/2 last Wednesday at slimming world. So would like to be 9stone something eventually.

Guess it's just gonna take some perseverance. Was hoping maybe the boots scales might be out but doubt that although will compare tomorrow with my weigh in at club x

Hi Clair, the thing with the pills are you eat fat it blocks it but if you have had very little fat it's just a low fat die! I think everyone thinks there magic pills but it just stops you eating crap else you get the bad side effects. You still have to really work hard, well I do!!

They do take a good week to get into your system though. Don't give up or get disheartened. I have the same amount if calories everyday and nothing over 5 g but loss is sometimes 2lb sometimes 5lb??? Keep going and you will see the results you want I promise.

You are best to weigh at your slimming club I do, at least I know they are right from the week before.

Good luck and keep going.

Diet not die lol

You would be amazed at the difference between scales and also the time of day in which you are weighed.

I fully understand your feelings, I'm on day 3 and battling an ear infection along with the compulsion to eat crap!

I've had no bad effect yet but no weight loss either but so long as I get to 11st 4lbs by the 7th dec and can fasten my wedding dress I will be happy (currently 12st 2lbs) In the long run I would love to be in the 9's or 10's!

Aww bless ya. If you do it propa you won't get any side effects, only once I over did the Sunday lunch and was pooing oil- nice lol.

But since them stuck to less than 5g per 100g and no more than 15g per meal and I'm fine.

Good luck getting into your dress I'm sure you will do it x

I'm only just over 5ft so need to be in 9s/10s to look less like mrs blobby.

I know it's gonna be hard just see other peoples weight loss and guess expected better but your right I havnt eaten hardly any fat most days my total fat is around 15g and most meals only. 4-5g total I've had no side effects atall. Your right though it had stopped temptation so guess that's a good thing x

Well I went slimming world today and I've lost just 2lb . Guess it's better than gaining but I'm wondering if I couldn't have done that without the tablet so perhaps they arnt doing anything for me

If I lose 2lbs in one week, I'm well chuffed. You should be pleased with yourself. Not everyone loses big amounts. At least it's coming off x

Yeah I know I just felt a little bit like omg this is gonna take forever for me to feel happy with how I am x

I know, I've felt like that too, keep positive and think of the results you will have by Xmas, even just losing small amounts will see dramatic results eventually. X

Hiya, well if u did 2lb a week in 6 months that's 4 stone!!! 6 months isn't that long and 4 stone is loads !

Keep up the good work xx

Even though the tablets take 1 week to get in your system will I still see a weight loss in that first week?

I have been on the tablets for 6 days now and still have not lost a bean 😞 despite being really good
