Side effects not = weight loss

Hi all,

I have now been taking the xenical consistently since 7 Jan, after stopping over xmas. I am sticking to 1340 cals a day as set by MFP. I am doing about 30 mins walking each day.
I am seeing quite a lot of oil in my poo (sorry TMI). I was surprised by this as I'm mostly under the 45-50 cal allowance each day for xenical. But it's clearly working.

Anyway, the end result...... no weight loss this week. I'm gutted. I'm coming to the end of my prescription and if I can't show weight loss to the Dr they won't continue the prescription.

Anyone have any advice or suggestions ?
thanks x

    Hi Suz, Just wondered whether you are eating the correct amount of calories? Seems a bit high to me.
    Also the fact that you are passing a lot of oily substance surely means that you are having too much fat in your diet.
    I'm not an expert in the subject by any means but they were the two things that I would be more wary about.
    Hope the weight loss kicks in again soon... :smile:

    I would drink a TUN of water everyday walk more or DVD at home no high fat food at all ... super healthy till weigh in day then back to healthy eating with the occasional high fat food :)

    I am the same this month though i wasnt loosing much and now iv had a gain and i get weighed next week so mine might be coming to a end :/ but i was on them for a long time before so my body might be getting used to it maybe.....

    good luck
