How am I doing?

Hi,

my GP asked me to go back after a month the first time, but now I go back every two months. He said I`d done well the first time and I`d lost 7ib so you should be fine. Last time I was weighed he said he was pleased to tell me I was no longer medically obese, just overweight :!:

Good Luck

Hi, thanks for the reply. Do u think I should request a 'weigh in' or wait til I get called?

Hi Josie,

I lost 9lb in my first month so you are doing fine. Some people on here lost a lot more in their first month, some a little less but the main thing is its coming off!

My doctors insist i get weighed each month, I get a month's supply of orlistat at a time and when its about ran out, i go to the docs, they weigh and measure me and then give me another supply. I think it would be a good idea to make an appointment with the nurse and get weighed as you will find their scales are probably different to yours.

Good luck

As long as their scales make me even less, I will b happy!!! lol[/b]

i go for a weigh in every time my perscription is running low, about every 4 weeks at the moment, i get weighed and the dr decides if its still working enough to warrent another perscription

Geez, I feel kinda worried now....my GP didn't even weigh me when he handed me the prescription, let alone measure me...am I being neglected? lol :?

Gonna b putting in for my third script next week (problems getting the tablets) so have to do it early, but still not have been called 4 a weigh in. I was weighed when I first went to the dr's.

Hit a 'plato' this week, have not seemed to of lost anything this week....Grrrrr!
