Another alli scaredy cat newby

[skeggs885]

HYA, After being 3 stone overweight for a few years and finding it hard to kick start anything prob due to middle age. 47 and having tried other diets such as ww and slimming world I have finally decided to start alli tomorrow

I have problems with my joints which is not helped by weight and have been prescribed medication for this which i am going to hold off for one month to try alli first, this will not make things any worse for me and may mean i do not need the meds or the blood pressure tabs if i can shift some blubber.
Of course im really put off by the side effects as this may impact on me working and i go in and out off office and travel a lot to appts so wont be in a position to need the loo immediately.. can anyone advise me how to handle this (clearly avoid fat in my diet during day) but realistically i must eat during day but what can i eat to avoid any symptoms completly during office hours

been taking alli for 3 days now, have noticed a stonking headache and dont know if due to the tablets or the detox of not eating rubbish, too scared to eat anything bad incase i get the loo side effect .... so far nothing and starting to think do they really work
