Hi,
My name is Kayleigh, I live in Leeds, Enlgand and I'm 21
I've joined the site to find out all about this medication and diet before I start it!
My health, to me, feels fine although I know underneath this will not be the case. I approached the doctor and he offered me these pills. I'm active and energetic, although i guess this will just get more so the more weight I lose! I guess I just don't feel overweight if that makes sense, although I am, very!!
My doctor has prescribed me Orlistat after losing weight but putting it back on and me being at my wits end. I am 19st 8lb's now, my heaviest I have ever been.
I guess I'm just starting out and trying to find as much out as possible before starting the tablets so that I am prpepared. I have a couple of questions I wondered if someone could answer for me Smile
What's an example of what you would eat in a day, whilst on these tablets? Fro breakfast, dinner and tea. What do you eat for snacks? Just fruit and veg? Also, i'm not a massive drinker, is it required you guzzle a lot of water whilst on them? Also, what foods have you found you need to avoid?
I just want to be thinner to help my body more, because carrying this weight can't be good for it, can it!
I also wondered what exercise people have been doing alongside this? I attend pump it aerobics once a week for an hour and dancersize once a week for the same time. I do find exercise tedious although I like these classes and am very busy day to day, so I wondered if i could just continue this for now and when i'm fitter, up it?
Any advice would be much appreciated Smile
Also, WOO to all those weight losses I have been reading about!!
