Hi All,
I have started taking Xenical as prescribed by my doctors, for a week now, and only once have experienced any side effects. My son had a burger and chips whilst bowling, and I pinched 6 of his chips, and within 10 minutes had to go the loo. So no more fried chips for me!
So, one week in (tomorrow), and have to say (guilitily) that I have been jumping on the scales nearly every day, but today I am six pounds down. Yahooooo.. But.......... I do have a long long way to go, I am only 5.4, and weighed when I started 20.6, but once I can get below the 20 stone mark, I will know I am on my way, as I have not been there for probably 8 or 9 years.
I have to do this as I have a young son, and a bad residual heart murmer left over from open heart surgery when I was a little girl. I want to be more active and go for bike rides, swim, and kick a ball with him, and at the moment, although I can do all of those things, I look horrific, and one day he will see that too, at the moment he just sees Mummy, but I don't want to hear, Mummy why are you so fat?

So, me and my Xenical helper are going to get along just fine, and if I am naughty, then it will pull me back in line sharpish.
Looking forward to the weight loss, and good luck everyone!!
