    Wolf spiders and weight loss.

    I almost forgot about that one! I think that was when I was first starting to become more brave in my forum posting.

    I needed to read that tonight. Rough day.

    I'm glad people are enjoying my favorite thread of all time! I imagine a lot of the veterans are getting notifications for it now that it's bumped, maybe some who aren't active in the forums will come back to make a cameo appearance!

    I was reading it last night and it was a walk down memory lane. So many great posters have disappeared.

    Here are the wolf spiders.

    I would have dropped it off earlier, but had to read it first.
    Had a good workout with all the tummy jiggling as I was giggling.

    Yes @nutmegoreo you most certainly were coming out of your shell in that one. :)

    I lost it at the Bugasalt infomercial.

    There are some spider pics / videos at the end of the thread, for people who can't look at such things.

    My lovely pic of a trapdoor spider I took the other day. Not nearly as scary but bigger than a wolfie.

    I took Alli for quite awhile religiously and learned by the lovely side effects that so many speak of to watch more closely what I put in my body to keep myself from having those issues......I quit taking it after I reached my desire weight and unfortunately I gained all of the weight back and then some. I have since started the keto diet (lifestyle) and within one month lost 25+lbs so I will be keeping to the keto lifestyle which allows for me to eat within their guidelines and I don't feel like I'm suffering or losing out any.

    i am on Alli now for the past 6 days. I follow low fat diet and thus do not experience all the bad experience so far on oil dripping out to my underwear...I exercise 3x a week. each time burning just 500 calories i think from what it shows in the meter. I reduced 1.5kg since i started Alli a week ago. I think it gets stagnant now. I don't see any reduction at all for past 3 days no mattr how i reduce my diet and hard i exercise. I am trying to combine Alli with keto BhB pill. and follow a Low fat, mid carbo and mid protein diet with more vege. And together with Alli and Keto BHB pills.

    Do you think this is ok? i havent hear people doing both together. Most either follow LF or LC diet / pill. I thought it is more effective since Alli reduce fat absortion to body. and Keto BHB work on converting remaining fats to energy. Does it work that way?

    @tongmengkhong You have done well the first week but weight loss usually slows down in the following weeks. Are you counting calories as well?

    This thread is frightening. A friend of mine was put on it by the GP about 15 years ago, we were out walking in the woods one day (not that isolated, this is Surrey we're talking about) and she suddenly had to sprint off into the trees. I thought she was exaggerating a bit to be honest. I was jealous that she had managed to get these prescribed (not quite sure of the actual brand name at the time of what she was on, but that sort of thing) and I was not able to get them despite being a lot more overweight than she was.

    since then, Ive been grateful that I wasnt offered them because I know I would have taken them and I suffer from IBS.

    I keep seeing XLS advertised at the moment, I suppose its the same thing is it? Funny thing is that the 'after' picture she looks quite overweight and it puzzles me why they are using it.

    @L1zardQueen I am not actively counting. But i average about 2000 calorie a day I suppose. I only have brunch and dinner. Usually one heavy and one light. low fat, some protein and some carb, Some vege. Not sure if this is good enough. I am a foodie and I am into sales. I drink a lot and entertain a lot. This weight loss program make it so hard. I have a target goal to meet. I want to lose 10 lbs within 1 month. :) I want to do whatever possible to achieve that.

    Most people will not lose 10lb in a month - 2.5 lb per week is only going to be realistic for very over weight people - and then only in the early stages.

    You started trying to lose weight a week ago and you have lost 1.5 kg - about 3lb.

    Yes that often happens to people in the first week of a new diet - but it will taper down to a slower pace.

    What is your height and starting weight?

    Put your stats into MFP, be realistic about your activity level and about the pace of weight loss - and eat that many calories.

    whether you go keto or not - eat that many calories and actively count them

    and forget about the one month deadline - look at the long term.

    I haven't taken it but I've read a lot of the literature on it. In short, yes it will help you lose weight, basically it halves your fat absorption so if you eat 400 calories of fat a day (45 grams or so) it'll be as if you ate 200.

    The reason I haven't taken it is the pretty monstrous list of side effects and added supplementation you need with it.
