First day of orlistat

Hi murphy, well done on resisting all the naughty things! Hey u can still have a curry if you wanted I've made a few homemade curries all under 5% fat and for sweet things I've has mashmalloes or even a curly wurly, pop in in the freezer 1st so it lasts longer!!

Think for all of us this is the last time and all desperate to loose weight.

2 lb a week and in a year you would loose 8 stone! So even if your loss is little keep going as you will get there in the end. I'm taking everyday as it comes and determined to loose the lard this time!

Well done on your great loss. Let us know how you get on x

Well done Murphy, 5lbs in 1 week is a fantastic loss, keep up the good work x

hi, i stopped taking the pills when my dad died in July I have started taking them again today, hopefully they will work for me too. i can,t exercise due to disabilities but hpe if i get lighter i will be able to.

Hi shelagh6, sorry to hear about your dad. I'm an emotional eater and I've had a pretty crap year this year and just ate my way tho it!!! Hopefully being back on the pills will keep you on the straight and narrow!!

Good luck and let us know how it's going!

Morning five stone gang

Well it's Thursday so fat club for me tonight for another weigh in hopefully a couple of lb again this week as I've been sooooo good this week. 2lb a week and by Xmas day that's 2 Stone 🎅🎄🎁

Hope uv all had a good week? Everyone's been very quiet this week? Hope your all doing well.

I'll let you know later how I get on. Xx

Hi everyone ,

Just wanna ask a quick question ...

I'm now day 3 of taking the little blue pill and wanted to ask whether any of you noticed that you needed to wee loads when you started taking them. I can seem to stop although I havnt had to rush to the loo for anything else so perhaps they arnt working.

I joined slimming world yesterday so I can keep track on my weight ..

11stone 13 1/2 is apparently my start weight and I'm a midgit at 5ft so apparently ahould weight less than 9 stone lol .

Hope you are all having a great week

Hi Clair , I'd love to be 11 stone but I'm a giant 5ft 10 lol!! You shouldn't get any side effects if you follow it right. I find I drink more to take away the hunger so maybe your drinking more to make you wee!!

I haven't ever had an accident and don't plan to lol. It does take a good wk to get into your system I was told. As long as you stick to your below 5g of fat per 100g and no more than 15g in the whole meal you will be fine. I use the fitness pal app to track fat and calories.

Hope you have a good loss. Let us know how you're getting on, any questions just ask I'm sure someone will help. Xx

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunatly being so short I look like a ompa lumpa.

I have been drinking more I guess yes so maybe that's what it is.

I have also added fitness pal so have been using that since taking the pills.

I am finding it takes time to adjust to looking at the fat of the foot rather than in the past checking calories.

Just hoping I'm doing it right

Good luck for later and weighing in

X

I joined rosemary conely which is a diet that's below 5% fat and 1400 calories so I'm finding it quite easy. I check it has below 5g of fat per 100 then use the app to add my calories up.

It never drops off me I really have to work at it but as long as its in the right direction it's all good.

I have never been this size before and really feel disgusted in myself I've let it go this far! I'm determined this time though. If u loose 2lb a week in 6 months that's 4 stone! You could do it in half the time as you only have half of that to loose.

It takes a week or so to get yr head round it but I'm sure you're doing it right. When do you have your 1st weigh in? X

First weigh in is next Wednesday morning. I have orlistat for a month then also have to return to the doctors as they have been given to me on prescription.

Just hoping I see some loss after a week so it will give me the determination to do it xx

I lost 5lb in my 1st week but some have lost tons more and some less! If you have gone as far to get the tablets you must really wanna do it so no matter what the loss just keep at it, in the end it will come off

Hi Everyone!!

I am at my wits end, been on slimmingworld for nearly 2 years adn now weigh more than when i joined!! I have recently lost half a stone but put 5 back on!! I am booked in with my GP tomorrow to hopefully get the little blue pills.

I am also ging to take my slimming world book to show my GP that i can lose weight and i will also show him photos of my meals i eat so they can see that i do eat healthy and can lose weight but just need that little extra help!

Wish me luck......there is no way i am leaving the surgery without them!!

All your posts are very motivational and i can see im going to get on great with your support.x

Hi Debbie! Good luck in getting them. I did slimming world over and over again I lost every time but I wasn't sure how good the diet would be with the pills? As nothing can be over 5g of fat per 100g

Well I use to do red and green never got on with extra easy well for me all my meals would be over in fat! That means accidents taking the pills 💩💩💩lol

Just read every packet to check the grams of fat.

I'm doing rosemary Conley as her diet is 5% fat or less.

I'm going to get weighed at 6 so got everything crossed for another loss

Let me know if he gives them to you tomorrow x

Hi fatfairy

Thanks for ur quick reply. I will keep everything crossed for you at 6 and I shall provide an update tomorrow morning.😱

Hi Clair,i take my thyroxine tabs at night as it works that way for me..

Hi Jackie ,

I think I'm going to have to change mine to night aswell, I am currently juggling orlistat, thyroxine and vitamin D.

How are you finding loosing weight on orlistat with a thyroid problem???

Hi Debbie , good luck for tomorrow
