Hello there. I have been prescribed cheesygrin Orlistat 22/10/13 i am now on day 2 of this little blue pill. I would love too hear from people also taking this tablet, in order to help with weight loss. I DID weigh in at a staggering 16stones 2lb sad but now weigh 14stones and currenlty wear a size 16cheesygrin jean. I am looking to lose at least another 3 stone, and have decided to seek my GPs advice with this little blue wonder!!! i did lose the initial 2stone 2lb without this pill, so my doctor did say what ever you are doing, you are doing it well, even without the aid of this pill. But i have decided to undertake it, and see if it aids me any further into my weight loss goals. I am 33 and have decided i must do this for my health as i did not want too end up with diabetes or even worse diseases which obesity neutral is linked with. I would love too hear from other people lol on thisjourney, and be there for each other in our weight loss goals...May i also wish everyone good luck i look forward to hear from you all;-) thanks lol

    Hi Hun I've been taking this tablet on and off for a while now, I also lost weight without it but take it now as when I do eat something naughty it all comes out!! You do have to diet with this pill as it isn't a miracle tablet but it does help if your naughty and do eat something fatty. The side effects are not nice so I advise you to wear a pad until you get used to the warning g signs lol make sure you take 3 tablets a day as they will get into your system properly. Be careful when passing wind as it usually follows with orange oil it smells bad and stains lol you may suffer tummy aches but that's usually because your eating fatty foods x hope this helps good luck.

    Hello ladies. I too have lost about two stones with slimming world and was not managing to loose anymore. Very frustrated and went to doctor who prescribed these tablets. I have been taking for five weeks and not lost anything really. I have a few questions if u can help me. I am not a high fat intake person anyway so if ur meal does not have a large fat content should u still take ur tablet????  Also I have VERY high cholesterol would this slow my weight loss down?  I am scared the doctor will take me off the tablets. Please help xxxx
