But there is something called xenical and I want to direct you to the xenical forum where you can read into it and find loads of information that you will need.  This site also has lots of articles. Best of luck, you will get there! Issy x    WhittleAway 02-25-2010 @ 4:42 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 yes, I've been on xenical for two weeks. It's very fussy, but it's working. You have to be strict about what foods you eat. It'll be torture cooking for kids and not eating their food too, though! That was always my down fall - I ate all their left overs and then had my dinner. No wonder I got so fat!

Also, make sure your eating regular meals, if you starve yourself on a diet, all that will happen is the body goes into starvation mode and everything you eat, the body will store as fat as it thinks its being deprived. See how that goes, and if you find you need the extra help, talk to one of the docs on here and they can best advise which pill would be more suitable for you. Best of luck!

I always thought that running around after them was all the exercise I needed! But I lost the body that I had before kids, forever. If I could do it all over again, I would make the time to exercise properly and get my tummy back in shape. So take Fiona's advice! fionapt 03-09-2010 @ 10:43 AM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 hey peeps Thanks Whittle, I know its hard after having children to find time to do anything, but when they nap is probably the best time for a Mum to have a bit of 'me' time. It doesnt need to be an hours workout or anything like that, grab 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there, whereever is possible. Dance, skip, do housework(it burns lots of calories), something that is going to fit in with your routine. Best of luck and keep up the good work! Fi PS...Whittle, its never too late to start working on getting your body in a shape your happy and comfortable with.

I can't bear gyms, although I'm going to try a yoga class this week at my sports centre. I was wondering about which weights to buy if I want to do some at home? I know you think some weight training is important, but I'd rather do it from home. Thanks, WA fionapt 03-10-2010 @ 6:03 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 hey peeps Whittle...Id go for a set of 4 or 5kg dumbells, these can then be used for legs, back, chest, arms, tummy etc and are heavy enough to give you a good workout whilst scultping and toning your muscles. Check out a site called ultrfit magazine, they post a weekly workout with pictures which is great...i think you have to sign up for a weekly email, but its a good site. Hope thats helpful and good luck with trying the yoga class, im sure you will enjoy it.

I'll pick up some 4kg weights tomorrow - my yoga class is in the afternoon, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again, WA
