Thank you newpurple! Apart from some people who genuinely want to help, I have been astounded by the rudeness of people have never met. I have said from the start that I follow weight watchers and have a healthy diet and exercise. Some people do not seem to understand this and continue to say I should be doing what I am…

Thank you, I appreciate the help and support,. It is helpful to know about other peoples experiences. I have been doing it for 2 days and feel fine. I have had no side effects but when I out my normal diet in the calories counter it came up that I am eating around 1600 calories which is my weight loss target anyway. I do…

Thank you! I already eat a healthy diet, which is under 1600 calories a day so I am hoping this will help me lose weight. I am a bit confused by the saying that i can only eat 1 snack a day of less then 3g of fat, however can I eat more snacks of 0g fat, e.g mullerlight yoghurt, sf jelly, fruit etc??

It doesn't make you nauseous. It blocks the enzymes therefore reducing the fat that the body absorbs. It has side effects if you eat too much fat.

As I have just said, that is what I have been doing. I have dieted and exercised for a year (as I did when I lost 4 stone) and it has not worked as I have gained 3.5 stones, which has caused my health problems to get worse. This is a last resort. Telling me to throw it away is not helpful. I think my doctor who knows me…

Hey I am on Orlistat and have been keeping my fat low by using vegetables, fruit and mullerlight yoghurts. I have been eating weight watcher fajita with BBQ chicken or tuna with a small amount of pasta. If you are in the UK can you not get Orlistat from the doctors. May I add you so we can exchange tips.

That is not helpful when I am on it for medical reasons. I lost 4 stone on weight watchers and kept it off for years by continuing. When I was put on some tablets I gained 3.5 stone and have continued the diet. With the pills and continuing the diet I am expected to lose weight at a healthy rate similar to last time. Pills…

After such huge losses your body might just be getting used to it. At weight watchers they said to look at weight over a month as the body changes at different points in the month. Weight weekly but look at it monthly.
