I have never really been on any diet before, but decided at 35 I really needed to lose weight before I got stuck in a rut and would never loose anything! I think also having a child made me realise I did not want to be a unfit mother etc... I was recommended xenical and went to my doctor who said yes I was OK to have it. She was very clear about how it works & the possible side affects..And also advised me to look online at reviews & tips etc..... I started on Dec 1st 2008 I was 107 kilos and I am 5 foot 2 " I lost 8 kilos in the first 8 weeks ... (and during xmas!!) did not really increase my ... more

I am overweight and ill every time I go to my GP he says its down to my weight that I am ill. Ok so why is everything down to weight. I have always been on the large size. But to prove a point asked the doctor what the best way of losing weight was so that it doesn't go back on. He told me to lose 5% of my body weight in 1month and if I did I could go on to Xenical (Orlistat). So off I went and started watching what I ate as I would normally but we have to try. Made appointment to see GP for 1months time. When I went back yeah I had lost 2kg (4.4lbs) so he gave me a prescription for xenical ... more

I was put on Xenical by my doctor as I have very high blood pressure and am already on tablets and have had ECG's and tests recently. I walk the dog at least 2 miles a day and sometimes 5/6. I am 44 and 5 foot 6 and weigh 13 stone 9 at present. I am a 16/18. I am on my second week and I have lost at least 5 pound. I have been really good on them and feel like they are changing my mindset about food. I am a big foodie and love cooking and eating out but food can take over the day - me planning breakfast and getting up almost excitedly to have it, but that was when I was having a bacon sandwich ... more

I have struggled with my weight for about 5 years, gaining 5 stone in the time. After turning 22 and getting to 19 stone 5lb i figured it was time to try ANOTHER diet. My friend recommended Alli (same as xenical but 1/2 the dose), and when i read up about it found that i could get the Xenical on prescription from my Doctor. I went to the doctors and she weighed me and took measurements and warned me of the side effects (i'd read all about them)... you never expect it to be so bad. My first week I was extra cautious, and very happy to lose 10lb. As the weeks went on, i now and then slipped in ... more

I bought some Xenical from a website (Extraslim.co.uk) at the end of August, I paid £65 for a 1 month supply (84 tablets) The pills actually arrived from New Zealand so that was my first surprise as I expected them to be from in the UK. I made sure I stuck to a low fat diet for a few days before they arrived which they did on 4th September. I started taking them that same day and I made very sure that I was eating well under the 30g of fat per day (for fear of the consequences!) and am eating very healthy meals. I am drinking over 2 litres of water a day aswell and have been going to the gym 4 ... more
