New and bit scared

[jacquirsw]

Hi Everyone

My name is Jacqui. I am nearly 36 and have lots of weight to lose

I currently weigh 15st 2lb or 212 which ever you do, and I need to get down ideally to 150 but the dr has said anything under 160 will be ok if I can stay there.

I have done all the diets under the sun and some that haven't been thought of by anyone else, and I have got issues with binge eating.

I am hoping that having the xenical prescription will help keep me motivated to eat the right things, but I am a little scared of the side effects as I have heard loads of horrendous stories about them.

I hope to get to know people more through the journey.

Hi Jaqui,

I'm Lisa and I need to lose about 50 lbs and started taking ALLI. I have only had one experience with "treatment effects" and thank goodness I was home at the time. I think all of us who are trying to lose weight could and should support each other, so if you need a friend or some words of encouragement, you can count on me. Don't focus so much on the total weight goal, but on the small accomplishments along the way. It will come off.

Take care...
Lisa

Thanks Lisa.

I am now a week and a half in to the tablets although I ended up with a proper stomach bug so didn't take them for 3 days (and yes it was a bug as my daughter had it, although to begin with I did wonder if it was the tablets)
I have had no tablet side effects apart from a bit of a gurgling belly at times which I am really pleased about.
I had a great weigh in on sunday although some of it may have been from the bug so I am going to wait till this week to see if it has an affect.

You seem to be doing really well which is great!!!!!

Hi ladies,

Me and my mum started taking Alli almost a week ago now and neither of us have experienced any of the side effects. We were thinking that if we aren't experiencing the nasty side effects does this mean we are not losing any weight?! It sounds like that isn't the case as you both are shedding the pounds and quickly too. Well done, ladies. Hope it continues to work for you and fingers crossed when me and mum weigh in at the weekend we'll have some good results.
