    Hi

    I'm currently on the weight loss mission to have IVF, I have to get my bmi down to 30 or below, got another 12lbs to go. I managed to loose 18lbs on my own but having problems with my back so I can't exercise very much at the moment so the doctor gave me orlistat to give me a wee boost. Hoping I get there soon cos we've been trying for a baby for the past 4 years.

    Good luck with your weight loss, you did great staying the same while on holiday!

      I hope it happens for you. Fingers crossed, you will be surprised how quick the weight comes off. When is your weigh in? 

      I was shocked to be honest I thought I would of put at least 7lb on I had fish and chips 😳😳 twice... But they were bloody gorgeous. But that's it's now back on the plan 100%. Got weigh in in Monday. Cxx

      Thanks! I've not got a weigh in, I've just to phone the hospital when my bmi gets to 30, I'm just going to ask my doctor for a repeat prescription if I finish my orlistat before I get to that. Good luck for Monday
