ah, you poor thing, i know how you feel, i didnt loose anything for around 4 weeks so i know what its like to be working so hard and following the rules and getting no results. I started the weight watchers on monday, and i am down 1lb, i weigh myself every day, im far too impatient to wait a whole week!! have you tried any other types of diets or tabs before?

Hi everyone, I find the weight loss with Xenical quite slow. At first I was losing 1 1b per week but have stuck at the same weight recently. It's very frustrating.

Hi Lolo, well i have tried countless diets ever since I was 15 which means I have been battling with my weight for 21 years so far, which is pretty damned sad. I gave this a shot as a last resort but I suppose as I am getting older my metabolism is getting slower and slower and all these years of on/off dieting have contributed to it.
Cannot even describe how down I am right now but I do appreciate your replies girls, thanx

I know how you feel, i couldnt loose weight for a long time, i was trying diets and excercise etc, after about two years i noticed i was constantly tired, i would fall asleep after dinner, i was grouchy and if i didnt eat i felt dizzy so i was eating more than i had to, then i fould out i was diabetic, im on tablets now to control my sugar levels so i feel more normal, but as a diabetic, the weight is next to impossible to shift. For every 3 pound a normal person drops the doc told me i can exect to loose 1lb!! Its so so so frustrating, coz all the sugar i had been eating had just turned to hard fat around my rib cage and tummy, so now that i have the diabetes under control the hard fat has seemed to start to shift from changing my diet and then taking the xenical. I found like alot of other people, i didnt have a high fat diet, its mostly carbs for me, i love bread!! So now that i started weight watcher in conjunction with the xenical and the dibetes tabs, i think i found a good combo!! My point is to you that really your body will react differently to everyone else, and i know how down and frustrated you are, believe me i understand!! Id love to tell you you are fine as you are and im sure you still look great, but thats lil comfort im sure!! I know the doc prob wouldnt give you the xenical, have you asked about reductil? They are an appetite suppressant, that might work better for you? Litaa on this site uses the slimming world and she finds it great, have you tried slimming clubs? I hope you stay on here and get the support you need, dont give up, every pound is moveable, you just need to find what works for you

Hi lolo well said xxx i know how frustrating it can be i have tried diets before that didnt work,did you buy the xeincal,as im wondering if it was from ebay ect was the tablets real or fake,i have weetabix for breakfast,with fruit,for dinner i have cous cous with vegetables and for dinner pasta or rice with no fat chilli or spag bol,i dont drink squashes or fizzy drinks,tea and coffee,even the diet and reduced low cal drinks,as they can effect the amount you lose,like mumof2 said the best thing to do is go cold turkey and not have any of it,i walk 5 miles plus a day and try not to snack at night after 8pm,hope this helps xxx

Hi Lolo, funny you mentioned Reductil and I am considering giving them a go, another 'last resort'.
Slimming clubs dont really appeal to me as I juggle work (self employed) and the family and time is in very short supply.
I will definately say on here because all you ladies are in the same boat and know exactly the frustration and desparation we experience.
Well funny Litaa that you mention about the possible authenticity of the pills I bought. I got them from Extraslim.co.uk (they are based in New Zealand) and they looked exactly how they are supposed to look. Now yesterday I decided to try them out and see what would happen if I ate fatty foods (which I havent done since before I started taking the Xenical). I went out for a meal with my dad and had goat cheese lasagne and chips and after tea in the evening I had cake. Today as its my birthday I had some birthday cake, for lunch I had prawn mayo sandwich, for tea I had sausage and chips from our local chippie. Now I would expect the Xenical in my system to automatically propel me to the loo with the dreaded orange oil explosion - but nothing has happened, no poo at all (sorry if tmi).
These have just got to be fake havent they??

from what I REMEMBER YOU MUST TAKE xENICAL EITHER WITH OR AN HOUR OF EITHER SIDE OF EATING. tHEY DO NOT WORK RETROSPECTIVELY. As you appear convinced you have fake pills why not telephone the manufacturers and ask them for confirmation.

Well Happy Birthday moonstone Hope you had a great day!! It would seem to me that you did get fake tabs, i would pressume that if they were real, they would have the phone number in the slip in the pack for the orlistat helpline, if you ring and give the serial number they would be able to authenticate them for you? Im kinda in the same boat as you, i work in a company thats open 24/7 and i go to college 3 times a week after work, so i had always put the slimming clubs on hold as i really do not have time to go to a meeting, but i joined on line, i got my pack in the post and i have to post a weigh in card back every week, so it really does not take that much time, although it is an effort to work out what to eat, but on monday i was 14st0.8lb, tues 14st0.6lb, wed 14st0.0lb, thurs 13st13.6lb and today i was 13st12.8lb, so it seems to be working!! I started the Xenical on 30th july and this is the most significant weight loss ive had since the first couple of weeks. I also wonder if its anything to do with the fact its my weeks of my pill (contrceptive pill) but either way im over the bloody moon, gives me hope i will be a skinny

Hi Lolo, thanks for your message. No the box didnt come with a helpline telephone number in it, just an information leaflet with instructions how and when to take the tabs and that was it.
Celt, yes I am now convinced they are fake if they have no effect whatsoever if I pursposely eat fatty junk. I will be contacting the manufacterer for their advice, thank you.
