Hi guys, been following this forum for a few days and great info on here to us newbies trying this medication. 

I was really apprehensive and all most quitting before I even started having read some of the reviews. This forum helped me decide to take that leap forward as I simply can't stand being so fat. This hot weather just crushes me  even more as I struggle to find clothes that fit and make me feel comfortable. 

So, day 1 has commenced. Wish me well and will keep blogging for support. I have 5 stone I want to lose. 

Thanks

      Hi, thanks for the supportive message. 

      Yes I saw your posting and wondered whether to take it, decided to take with every main meal. 

      Just set up mfp too, that was helpful as I could see breakfast was 11%fat. So no rush to the loo yet. Good luck with it all and look forward to chatting to you again as I have a bundle of fat to shed so imagine going to take some time. X

    Welcome I was just like you.  It takes guts to go to the dr ,

    I've just had my 1st weigh in and lost 15lb in a mnt , nearly fell of my chair.

    Keep focused and keep to 5g per 100g and no more than 15g per meal you will soon reap the benefits . 

    Happy chick x
