Hiya Everyone
I have taken Xenical before and i lost 12 stone in 9 months, i think its fantastic stuff! it really helped me learn what was good and bad by way of food.
I came of xenical last year and within weeks i got pregnant and gave birth 10 weeks ago ive obviously gained weight due to pregnancy and i am going to ask my dr this Friday for it again to help me shift a few stone.
i wish i could add my before and after pics on here to show you all as i know it will help motivate all you who are just starting out on it.
Good Luck everyone
xx

Hi Everyone
Thanks so much! for your comments, im so glad ive been able to show you all that xenical does work.
When i first took it i ate 3 meals a day i ate breakfast of say fruit n fibre a blooming good sized bowel for lunch i ate a sandwich no butter or anything just a few slices of bernard matthews Turkey thin ham, with a few slices of tomatoes.
a packet of snack jacks cheese flavour a yogurt and fruit.
for tea i ate anything but watched my portion i didn't touch any ready made meals etc a typical tea was chicken with say 2 potatoes i used lost of spices as well as they add taste but no fat.
now at first i used to get really hungry so i would have a good sized bowel of creail at say 9pm n knowing i was going to have that kept me going.
With my weight i was a real problem as me n food just didn't mix so i decided to cut out ALL things that were making me fat see teh trouble with me was i couldnt just have a little bit! id have more n more, this was also a big help as i knew i couldn't go wrong i cut out all fizzy pops as well even diet ones.
it was bloody hard going at first but another thing that helped me was weighing myself morning and night and recording it the pattern was amazing.
as if you know your sticking to it your be ok with doing the weighing thing
now as i was soooo big and hadn't exercised in yrs it was hard so i used to do a 5 min walk most nights that's all.
then as they weight fell off i ventured off a little bit further with me mp3 blasting n just did as much as i could and each week was able to do more.
I then brought myself a V stepper from Argos some dunbless and this elastic rowing thing and my god did i go like the clappers! i must of looked a right state but in your own home who cares again i could only mange 10 mins max! a day but its a start.
never feel like you gota get out there n do hard exercise as its not the way you will only make yourself feel down if you cant do it.
once i started to drop a good few sizes your whole out look changes ya feel good about yourself you want to start showing off this new figure and then suddenly you want to start taking care of your appearance so i started eating fruit salads for breakfast and drinking lost of water to get all my bad skin good as yrs of over easting left my skin so bad
once i was a few stone off target my walking turned into running! i even brought the gear! lol ron hill tracksters the lot i couldn't believe it little old me! running up the road like some pro ha ha, then hubby was like omg your so fit he joined in on my walks n ate what i did maybe a bit more and he lost 4 and a half stone.
So as i said i gave Birth to my second child 10 weeks ago i had a Baby Girl so i now have 1 of each my other child is 6, i gained alot of weight in pregnancy ive shifted 4 stone since having her but i have a few stone to loose so im bk to it and im really confident i can get bk to my pre pregnancy size.
so glad i found this forum its great to talk with others who r going through the same things, i really hope Dr gives me Xenical tomorrow.
PS i Highly recommend registering with xenical help line they ring you every so often to see how your getting on they are a good help

also forgot to add that im not sure if anyone is as big as i was but just as id finished my weight loss i got pregnant and at the same time found out i had gallstones! OMG how poorly i was i sadly lost the baby but had surgery soon after and within 2 weeks got pregnant again and in a way i suppose this is why i gained alot of weight in pregnancy as i was so scared i didn't care about myself but always knew that id shift the weight
i also used to have PCOS and the weight loss cured this completely
