    Hi Geraldine,

    It is an accepted fact that the body becomes immune to the effects of Orlistat after a while.  A year is quite a short time for this to have happened but everyone is different.  It might be just a blip - persevere for a while and see if things improve.

    Hiya. It does take a good week to get into your system so give it time. X

    Hi

    like others have said it takes some time to get back into your system, but can i ask why you are starting back on these as like you i joined my local slimming world and have lost more weight since joining than i did being on these for about 2 years, if you are doing what club says then you will strart to loose the weight, everyone is diffrent, i have been at group for 21 weeks now and have lost 1,5st, {have lost more but for some reason started gaining} yes not much for that length of time BUT it is a loss, i do get anoyed that its not coming off faster but i have health isues that means im not mobile enough to be able to exercise, but hey its a loss

    do what they sugest at sw and the weight will start to fall,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and ditch the tabs
