    I think a what's app group os a great idea!

    I did write a post up previously but guessing no one saw it. PM if you would like me to create a what's app group. It's a good way to support each other, send receipes, pictures, exercise plans and just get help on general

    Hi,

    I'm in need of some weightloss friends. Doc has told me to take metformin and orlistat for next 3 months. I currently work abroad so there is no one here I can really talk too.

    I start the tablets in the morning. Keeping my fingers crossed I have no 'issues' 😀

    Hi guys,

    I am 26 years old, in desperate need of help and support from people in the same boat as me. I have dieted so many times in the past 3 years and I just continue to to lose weight then gain it all back and a bit more sad I am 5ft10 and weigh 15st10. I keep hitting brick walls, I honestly don't know what to do! I am booking in with my GP tomorrow to discuss orlistat bit don't know if they will prescribe it. Please can I join your group?

    Look forward to hearing from you all,

    Danielle
