Needless to say I am more than surprised to have lost 10lbs and find myself wondering if its just water? The good thing is I have been given another prescription and the nurse said I am on target.....

View 33 RepliesJust weighed myself - I'm a month and 5 days into the programme. I'm now 11 pounds lighter. I'm on holiday in two weeks and was going to break the programme but now in two minds what to do.
View 32 RepliesWent for my weigh in with the nurse and I've lost 1 and half kilos in 4 weeks, not bad considering i've not been able to take our puppy for a walk because of all the snow and ice. I now weigh 13st 1 lb (83 Kilos) and my BMI is 30.3. I haven't got a target as such, my nurse said to aim for something i'm comfortable with and my daughter said to aim for a BMI between 25-30 so almost in that bracket. I don't think i'd look healthy at the recommended weight for my height but no where seems to take age into account- I must admit i'm a bit disappointed that i'm still a size 18 for most things and with only 3.3 pounds short of a 4 stone loss was hoping to be nearer the 14-16 size.
Hope every body is having a good week, Good luck for any pending weigh ins- (my nurse still wants to see me in 4 weeks so she's not taken Christmas into consideration unlike somebody elses Dr
Keep up the good work everybody

View 2 RepliesMost postings here are asking about symptoms of stomach cancer, as we all worry we have got it. I suppose I worry more because my mother had it. I have had constant nausea for 3 weeks and loss of appetite for about 3 months. I have lost quite a bit of weight.
View 1 Repliesi'v been on the tablets for a month now and instead of losing weight i've actually gained 8lbs..im doing everything right..i mean i haven't had chocolate or takeaways or even low fat crisps for the last month
View 2 RepliesI'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.
I am a diabetic and take a background insulin and a quick acting insulin to cover my carbs. Has anyone else been on tablets and insulin and had a successful weight loss ?
View 2 RepliesWhilst taking orlistat, i am also taking anti depressants which is what made me put the weight on in the first place. My doctor said i would probably loose more weight if i wasn't on the anti dep. but i am not at a place where i can come off them at the moment.
What i wanted to ask you was if you could ask your nurse if there is anything i can do to boost my metabolic rate/weight loss.
Have you noticed more weight loss when eating certain foods. I was told whilst on slimming world that peas and strawberries are good weight loss foods. But i can't live on them.
Besides 2 hours of working out each day, does anyone know of some natural methods to help with stubborn weight? I have an underactive thyroid And unless I work out like crazy its hard for me to lose weight.
