Hi, I have been on SW plan for over a year and lost 10lb, yo yoing, I am 5 ft 8, and weigh 16st 10.3/4lb. I joined the gym 5 weeks ago and stuck as much as possible to the SW plan, but gained 5lb in the 5 weeks. last Monday (9 June) I started on Orlistat, drunk tons of water, kept up wiht excercising 3x week and eaten plenty of veg/fruit and healthy diet. I have weighed myself this morning and lost 1lb, I am so disappointed, disillusioned and actually quite desperate. The amount of time and effort I have put in does not reflect on the scales. What am I not doing right? Does it take time for the tablets to begin to work? I have read on the forum, these people with huge weight losses, what are they doing that I am not!

After 3 weeks I have only lost 6lbs. Wouldn't you have lost that on a normal diet? I can't help but be a bit disappointed. I feel a bit flat as I stuck rigidly to a 1500 cal and 30gram fat intake per day. Is it normal to have only lost 2lb per week?

I've been on the tablets for two weeks now. I've worked out what I can have fat wise without getting the dreaded side effects. Cereal for breakfast, soup and yogurt for lunch, chicken or fish plus veg for main meal. I haven't been having my usual binges on biscuits and sweets either. However I am a bit disappointed with my weight loss. I lost 1 pound the first week and two the second. I know any loss is good, but I have been trying really hard to cut back and lost more than this in a couple of weeks on weight watchers.
I have a lot to lose (7 stone) so hoped for more. Maybe my body will 'catch up' - has anyone else had this experience? I've been on so many diets and lost a couple of stone and put it back on ten times as fast as I took to lose it.
Orlistat :: Disappointed - Had An Entire Bag Of Foam Sweets
It's always film time when I crave rubbish and last night I craved and had an entire bag of foam sweets. I know they are ok fat wise but still full of kals and sugar.
I just want to do well with this and have really let myself down.
Orlistat :: Losing Inches But Not Pounds - Disappointed
I'm now in my 3rd week of taking the blues and as i don't go to the nurse to be weighed or anything i have been taking myself off to Boots every Monday to weigh myself.
So i went on Monday after being on it 2 weeks - and i've lost 2lbs...
I know a loss is a loss but i suppose I just thought I would have lost more......and think im a bit disappointed.....
Is this a good loss or should it be more? My husband thinks i have lost inches though too and i could be inclined to say i agree but don't understand how I can lose inches and not pounds....
Orlistat :: Sore Head , Tummy And Back - Constipation

Pregnancy :: Gender - Depressed / Disappointed
So today I found out im having another girl as if I need 3 lil girls running around me. I already have 2 girls who I love dearly and had my hopes set on this one (being my last) to be a boy. Im so mad that I really dont want this baby and even came across my mind to abort this baby all because of its gender. And I feel so selfish and like im some horrible mother to even think this way. I cried all the way home today because the baby's a girl! Im mad at myself and my bf. I need help because I cant get over this....this is not something I can easily say oh well to. Im afraid that when the baby is born I will resent it and it will distrot my relationship with my bf
View 20 RepliesFibromyalgia :: Disappointed With Pain Management And Exercise
So I was finally able to get in to see a PM doctor and she looked over all of the info that had been sent to her and then decided she wanted x-rays of my hips (where I have the most pain) and spine. She told me that she really doesn't do medications (which is fine) but that injections of some sort might help me and she would wait for the results to make any decisions. It took almost 3 weeks for me to get the results back and then the nurse told me that my x-rays looked ok but that the doc said I could get an MRI if I wanted to. I told her that I really can't afford another MRI (had one of my brain) right now and would rather not have one unless the doc really thought I should. She again told me the doc said I could have one if I wanted and that was it. Never offered another appointment or anything.
My rheumatologist who until my last appointment I really liked is frustrating me too. I told her I hated the gabapentin and would prefer not to take it anymore. She said that's fine the best thing that I can do for myself is to eat healthy, exercise, and get good sleep (impossible with 3 babies! but I try) And I have a very healthy diet and have added exercise as much as I can tolerate. She told me that medication is really for people who can't live a normal life because of their fibro.
Did she not listen to me? Is it "normal" to come home from the grocery store in tears? Is it "normal" to spend a week recuperating from a trip to Coney Island or a family BBQ? Is it "normal" to take 2 hours for your body to work in the mornings?

View 17 RepliesBack Pain :: Left Side Back Pain, Middle To Lower Back
About 2 week's ago I took 2 perc within a night and the next day I got sick, I thought from the pills, but than I was nauseous and have been for the most part ever since. My left side mid to lower back started hurting approx a week ago and it's gotten much worse last night and now I'm having pain in my upper right abdomen as if the pain moved. I'm on muscle relaxers for my back already but it's not affecting/helping my new pain though and the new pain doesn't feel the same. I was just curious if anyone had any idea what it might be, some say kidneys but does that pain or can it move from my back to my abdomen?

View 1 RepliesBack Pain After Clicking/popping Sound In The Lower Middle Back
Two days ago I was in the gym exercising my shoulders and whilst I was lifting weights, I moved my back whilst seated and I heard a 'click' sound in my back, followed by pain in that area of my lower middle back. I immediately stopped exercising and haven't gone to the gym since.
I don't know what I was thinking by moving my back like that, but since it happened there is a lot less pain and it feels like the pain may be totally gone in the next 48-72 hours hopefully.
On the night of the injury I found it hard to turn onto my side when in bed, but now I can do it without any problems. Now I can only feel some pain when I turn my upper body to the left or right or if I try to stretch my lower back.
Would anyone be able to give me some advice such as what type of injury I have or whether this may have a long term effect? Is it a very positive sign that the pain is decreasing each day?

Back Issues :: Pinched Nerve Or A Lower Back Strain?
I was doing a yoga pose (a torso twist hold which is where you lay on your back bring both legs up in the air then bring them down with your knees/legs tucked and torso twisted on opposite side) when I accidently dropped mid twist too quickly and hurt my lower back, the pain on a scale of 1-10 is about a 2-3, so a dull aching. Its localized and does not radiate down my thighs/legs or up to my neck. There's no shooting/stabbing pains and It also doesn't burn, or tingle (numbness). Could this be just a stretched/sprained back issue or a pinched nerve?. It also isn't tender to the touch at all.
