Im on orlistat.. Does anyone know how long you should ideally go to the gym? I am in the GP but working a lot of nights at the moment and they are hectic

    Hi thatpurplestar, 

    I've been on orlistat for 2 weeks today, I recently joined the gym and I aim to go three times a week to do the gym and swimming. I would go more but I have children so it's whenever I can manage to get childcare, I have lost 22lbs so far. Personally I think it is each persons preference to how much time they spend in the gym, do whatever works for you. Good luck,

      Hi suzek02 

      Yes, I started the orlistat on 1st December, at 126KG, when I was weighed yesterday it was down to 113kg :-)

      Thank you, I also use the slimfast shakes they were on offer 2 for £8 at Asda so I thought why not give them a try!
