First day of orlistat

I dread when I have to go out for dinner!!! I tend to go for a pasta dish with a tomato based sauce and I've been fine. Just avoid anything deep fried or creamy. Xx

I think it's steak or Sunday lunch kinda place??? Might go for the healthy option and not take a tablet!

Plus I had pasta last night lol. Don't like it enough to have it again!!!

I'm ok with meat and veg, would avoid pies of any kind though. I went to a BBQ last night and just didn't take a tablet. Felt a bit guilty but didn't want to risk having to run to the loo at someone else's house lol x

Oh no that wouldn't be good!! Lol. I will be good just worried if Sunday lunch is my only option as don't know how it's been cooked. I won't take a tablet and try and pick the best option thanks rockey. X

I went out last night for a meal

And had fresh crusty bread for starter and then BBQ ribs and salad it was lovely and I was fine ! It was hard coz the menu was all burgers and pizzas ! X

Morning girls! Well Monday here again another week to a slimmer us

Well yesterday I though I was having the best option so had 3 seared scallops to start and a beef Sunday lunch. I did have 2 small roast potatoes and a Yorkshire :O as the veg portion was tiny! I really enjoyed it but didn't take a tablet. Got home 2 hours later and my tummy was bubbling felt bloated and a bit grim.

Late last nite I passed some oil too!! In the loo thank god lol. Sorry if too much info lol. 💩💩

I really don't ever want that to happen again!!

Note to self be good!!! Lol.

Well enough of that lol. Hope you all have a good week.

Do you get your weigh in this week Jo? If so good luck and let us know what you lost

Hi all,Ive dropped another 1lb this week,mine seems slower than the rest of you,i blame it on my underactive thyroid..I unfortunately suffer from the side effects so never too far from the toilet lol ..Hope everyone else is having great success in losing weight too..

Hi Jackie, well done on your loss. At my fat club she said 1lb might not seem a lot but do that once a week and in a year you will be 4 stone lighter WOW

How come you're getting side effects? If you stick to the below 5g per 100g and not over 15g per meal there shouldn't be any?! This is the 1st time, never again!!

Just thought if you're getting side effects it could be because you're consuming too much fat and that's why it's 1lb?! Just a thought?

Hi girls, it sounds like you are all doing so well!! I went to my friends wedding over the weekend. I was good and took my tabs and tried to eat carefully. I have a bad tum today though so obviously something went wrong!! I had a lot of wine maybe that was it? But back home now and on the straight and narrow. Good luck for this week. Xx

I'm being really good this week In the hope to have a it loss !

My fiancée is on late shift this week so find it harder as I hate cooking just for me and that's when I used to snack a lot x

Hi becca,yeah I'm the same when my fellas away I use to crack open a bottle of wine n have cheese and crackers!!! I'm going for it this week too, going to wobble everyday and use my cross trainer.

Here's to a good loss on Friday if my weekend hasn't buggered it up lol xx

Hi Everyone,

Just come back from the doctors and prescribed with orlistat . I have a thyroid issue and have pilled on the

Pounds in the last year going from 10stone to 12stone 2 which is my weight today. I am really nervous about starting the tablets since reading the information leaflet about leaking etc. But going to start taking them this eevening. I've loved reading all your big weight losses. Wish me luck and will keep you posted.

Aww hopefully we all have a fab week !!!

Hi Jackie7, I too have underactive thyroid and sometimes I only lose 1/2 lb a week. It seems a lot slower than everyone else but it's still in the right direction. How many mgs of thyroxine are you on? X

So long as its coming off its a step towards where we all wan to be xxx
