    Well Done - I just started on these tablets this morning having seen a different doctor who actually wanted to help.

    Good luck on your journey :-)

    Hi nunu

    Well done.

    I'm off to see the nurse tonight to see if I can go back on them - I took the decision in January not to take them anymore after losing 2 stone in 8 months. I wanted to see if I could do it on my own and not rely on tablets but I think I've put on a few pounds even though I've continued to eat pretty much the same as when I was on them.

    Hopefully she'll let me have them again.

    Will post tomorrow with my stats.

    Keep going

    Jane

    Wow! Well done guys on your losses!! Can I just ask what your daily food intake would be in general and if/what exercise you ar doing? Hope you dont mind but I have been on these now for 3 weeks, eating a low fat diet & regular exercise but I am not losing anything...just wondering if i am doing something wrong? I have lost an inch or 2 when I measure but the weight doesnt seem to want to come down which ok could be lean muscle etc but if you guys are doing what Im doing but the weight is coming off then maybe I need to try another pill?? Any suggestions would be much appreciated as feeling very dis-heartened! sad

    Cheers xxx

    Hi Suki

    I'm eatling a low fat, calorie controlled diet. so no more than 5g of fat in each meal and no greater than 2000 calories per day, i must admit i've done no exercise because of a bad back and heel but plan to this week now im on the mend.

    it seems like most people have either lost weight or inches, in my opinion inches is better and weight loss can be down to water retention loss and or dodgy scales, inches is a more valid measurement.

    Good Luck, and keep going.

    I also think how MUCH you have to lose has a lot to do with how much you lose to begin with, i.e. more you have to lose, larger the losses will be in the first few weeks.

    Best Wishes
