I started In January but as an online member - last Friday I made it to my 3 stone award however I've now decided to go back to mfp full time to see how I get on. But I have taken into account a lot of the things I picked up on sw my plate is always 1/3 speed, I barely cook with any oil nowadays, I love the sausage rolls…

Hi I just got a prescription for orlistat this morning - never taken any weight loss aids before but just had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy and last june developed gall stones and lost my gallbladder so hoping this will give me the kick start im looking for :-)

Hi I'm Rachel, 30 yrs old I have about 100lb to lose. Excess weight from two pregnancies and last year I managed to lose 4 stone in 4 months and developed gall stones leading to gallbladder removal in June then found out I was pregnant in July! Dr has prescribed orlistat today so im going to give it a go, im also an…

I will look into it thanks, I have tried apple cider and olive oil and liver salts but no luck yet, I think the dr very sensibly decided that I should have surgery after I have been away in case of complications, I would just love to be able to have a glass of champagne on my wedding day and not spend my wedding night…

I think everyone is shocked when they see pics of their 'big self' but I know what you mean about not seeing it in the mirror, I think it has something to do with the angle you look at yourself in the mirror can be much more flattering than say changing room mirrors! I think it's also the fact that when you lose some…

Hi, I'm dieting for my wedding to 23rd April, I have bought a dress which is about 2 1/2 dress sizes smaller than I am so have a lot of work to do!! I think having something so good to look forward to is a massive motivator, all I think about is getting into that dress! I hope you manage to reach your goal and feel even…

I get so confused with the points system because I don't like all their foods, I calorie count but I do eat a Weight Watchers meal for my evening meal most nights just cos it's easier to cook for my family and then know exactly what I'm eating rather than making two separate meals, their snacks are good too - but whatever…

I've been struggling too, my goal is 1420 kcal a day, but I've been eating Weight Watchers meals with low kcal breakfast and soups and intake has dropped to about 850 - I've been topping it up with things like bananas and glasses of milk which are about 100kcal each but I know they are also good for me and filling too!…

I'm an F at the moment and I've just ordered a strapless wedding dress so I'm praying I can get mine down to a decent size otherwise, they'll never fit in - I would give anything to be able to wear a button up shirt again :-( I'm really focusing on losing accross my back as well as I@m hoping that will help!

I've heard it's mainly carbs you should stop eating after 6:30 simply because there is not enough time to burn it off before bede so the body converts it straight to fat, so even if you've been good all day you can still add extra fat with even the smallest carb laiden treat - this is what I@ve been told so I don't know…

Hi, I currently weigh 256lbs and I'm trying to get below 200lb for my Vegas wedding which is in April. MFP has really opened my eyes to my eating habits and I've picked up a few interesting tips along the way It seems such a big hurdle when you are looking at that much weight loss but I keep positive, any loss is a good…
