My orlistat (xenical/alli) journey

[Emmamb]

Been to the docs and got these prescribed today,I'm still gonna go to slimming world but gonna eat more of a healthy diet rather than 'stick' to the sw plan.
So on the docs scales today I weighed 116kg-roughly 18st 3
1/2 lb but gonna be weighin on my scales daily and sw scales once a week!

So day 1 docs-116kg
My scales- 118.3kg

Gonna go treat myself to a new set of scales shortly cos mine r way out xx

Good luck

I was on orlistat (xenical) about 3 years ago, I didn't lose any weight on it, but it did help to show me what contained fat and what didn't. Lets just say you'll regret it if you eat something fatty.

I did go on to lose 5 and 1/2 stone though.

I've been on them a couple of times in the past and they do help me-it just gives me a boost which is what I need at the mo. Not looking forward to the side effects but if I'm quite good then should b ok xx

well done for losing all that weight-how did u do it? X

Oh yeah they defo help some people, my close friend lost a couple of stones on them, my problem with them was that I didn't have alot of fat in my diet, therefore they did nothing for me - my fat was from my pregnancy.

I lost it through calorie counting, and upped my exercise slightly.

I'm sure you'll do great.

The only side effect you get off them is when you eat fat anyway. They only work well with people who have high fat diets.

Oh and well done emma

I actually cant wait to get into the swing of losing weight again when baby comes.

 

[Emmamb]

I'm not eating excessive fat and following slimming world plan but tryin to make sure I have all my syns etc xx

 

[Emmamb]

Day 6: 116kg!!! So 2.3kg off (about 5lb!)

 

[Kezzamunster]

well done so far hun, your doing great

[Emmamb]

Thanks-I'm living watchin the weight come off and finding it quite easy.

I've had 1 'side effect' which happened yesterday but that's because I'd had takeaway for tea the night b4 :/ luckily I wasn't goin out anywhere so it was manageable.

I found it hard to eat healthily but include enough fat for the tablets to work. I'm having ryvita with low fat spread on for breakfast with mullerlight. Then a scrambled egg sandwich at lunch (very yummy) il prob have to do lots of tweaking as the weeks go on but so far so good

 

[littlemiss83]

Thats excellent news about your loss.

The side effects are quite off-putting. But as I said, it helps for when you come off them you'll know what contains fat and what doesn't

Good luck for next weigh in.
