Orlistat :: Losing Inches But Not Pounds - Disappointed
Mar 30, 2010
I'm now in my 3rd week of taking the blues and as i don't go to the nurse to be weighed or anything i have been taking myself off to Boots every Monday to weigh myself.
So i went on Monday after being on it 2 weeks - and i've lost 2lbs...
I know a loss is a loss but i suppose I just thought I would have lost more......and think im a bit disappointed.....
Is this a good loss or should it be more? My husband thinks i have lost inches though too and i could be inclined to say i agree but don't understand how I can lose inches and not pounds....

After 3 weeks I have only lost 6lbs. Wouldn't you have lost that on a normal diet? I can't help but be a bit disappointed. I feel a bit flat as I stuck rigidly to a 1500 cal and 30gram fat intake per day. Is it normal to have only lost 2lb per week?

Now on week 5 and nothing has happened at all, I lost 5lb up to xmas and nothing since, I go gym 3 times a week, I work out my fat and calories on everything, and have approx 1300 calories a day and never more than 30g of fat.

This is only the end of my 2nd week. My 1st week i lost 3lb and was so pleased. i was really good all week.....until Saturday night. hubby was home for the weekend and wanted a take away. there was no way i could sit there and watch him eat it and not have any. i ordered chicken chow mein..... it was FANTASTIC!!!!!.........until i woke this morning in agony, stomach cramps, diarrhea most of today
I'm really not sure i can do this. im running out if ideas for meals. i have 3 children and work 40hrs a week (like most people i know) i just find it hard. I've ordered a Rosemary Conley low fat cook book hoping to get some inspiration.

I've been on them for nearly 3 weeks and have yo-yoed back and forth. I loose weight then the next day its back on! Overall, I think I have lost around 4 lbs, but many of you are losing that, or more in a week! I am on very low fat diet, cereals breakfast, salad lunch, slimming world recipe for tea - a couple of drinks at weekend and maybe relax the food a bit, but I don't go crazy! I don't take tablet when I have no fat meals...what do you think. I also have underactive thyroid so I know that my metabolism is slow. Any tips please cos' I feel like I'm going nowhere. Getting abit worried about my first weight in with GP and worried that I won't get a repeat prescription.

Hi, I have been on SW plan for over a year and lost 10lb, yo yoing, I am 5 ft 8, and weigh 16st 10.3/4lb. I joined the gym 5 weeks ago and stuck as much as possible to the SW plan, but gained 5lb in the 5 weeks. last Monday (9 June) I started on Orlistat, drunk tons of water, kept up wiht excercising 3x week and eaten plenty of veg/fruit and healthy diet. I have weighed myself this morning and lost 1lb, I am so disappointed, disillusioned and actually quite desperate. The amount of time and effort I have put in does not reflect on the scales. What am I not doing right? Does it take time for the tablets to begin to work? I have read on the forum, these people with huge weight losses, what are they doing that I am not!

I've been on the tablets for two weeks now. I've worked out what I can have fat wise without getting the dreaded side effects. Cereal for breakfast, soup and yogurt for lunch, chicken or fish plus veg for main meal. I haven't been having my usual binges on biscuits and sweets either. However I am a bit disappointed with my weight loss. I lost 1 pound the first week and two the second. I know any loss is good, but I have been trying really hard to cut back and lost more than this in a couple of weeks on weight watchers.
I have a lot to lose (7 stone) so hoped for more. Maybe my body will 'catch up' - has anyone else had this experience? I've been on so many diets and lost a couple of stone and put it back on ten times as fast as I took to lose it.

It's always film time when I crave rubbish and last night I craved and had an entire bag of foam sweets. I know they are ok fat wise but still full of kals and sugar.
I just want to do well with this and have really let myself down.

I have been on and off birth control since I was about 12 years old (I am now 24). I have been on the nuvaring now for at least 6 years and have gained around 30 pounds and recently haven't been feeling right. So almost two weeks ago now I took it out for good. Well, I felt great for the first week.. even lost 3 pounds! Now for the past three or four days I just haven't felt "right". I have felt hot, (checked my temp and im normal) headaches, tired, had horrible cramps after having sex, and just off. Question is.. is this just my bodies reaction to not having the added hormones anymore? Has anyone else gone through this? I feel like im losing my mind. My poor husband has been taking care of me all weekend and I just want to feel normal again. Help!! Also, I do not want to be on the ring again and I cant even remember to take pills. I am not anywhere near ready to have a baby. Any suggestions on other alternatives? We have tried using condoms but the husband isn't exactly "Getting his" from using them. I feel terrible!!!

First of all, i have 1 ball, yeah only 1. it's because when babies are born (my mom is a doc, she said so, she knows) their balls fall from their stomach to their place (sorry for my english, it's not my native language, but i hope you will understand) And when i was born, testicle stayed in my stomach, doctors tried to remove it, but they failed so ended up having 1 ball. I recently asked my mom will i be ok with it and will i have children, she said yes.
I have a small penis, maybe 3 inch erect. I really like masturbation, but i can't ejaculate. It feels like after 1 minute of porn i already ejaculated and it's getting soft, if i continue, after 7 minutes i feel the same and it turns completely soft.
I am 160cm overweight (66 kg) I really put a lot effort to lose the fat, but i can't maybe it's genetics, my mom is very fat. I play basketball, lift weights eat healthy food, i tried suggestions from "the truth about six pack" but it ain't helping.
