Orlistat :: Disappointed - Losing Only 2 Pounds Per Week

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?

Orlistat :: Disappointed - Yo-yoed Back And Forth

I've been on them for nearly 3 weeks and have yo-yoed back and forth.  I loose weight then the next day its back on!  Overall, I think I have lost around 4 lbs, but many of you are losing that, or more in a week!  I am on very low fat diet, cereals breakfast, salad lunch, slimming world recipe for tea - a couple of drinks at weekend and maybe relax the food a bit, but I don't go crazy!  I don't take tablet when I have no fat meals...what do you think.  I also have underactive thyroid so I know that my metabolism is slow.  Any tips please cos' I feel like I'm going nowhere.  Getting abit worried about my first weight in with GP and worried that I won't get a repeat prescription.

Orlistat :: Disappointed - How Long It Takes To Work?

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!

Orlistat :: Disappointed With My Weight Loss - Meal?

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 :: 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 :: Lost 1 And Half Kilos In 4 Weeks

Went for my weigh in with the nurse and I've lost 1 and half kilos in 4 weeks, not bad considering i've not been able to take our puppy for a walk because of all the snow and ice. I now weigh 13st 1 lb (83 Kilos) and my BMI is 30.3. I haven't got a target as such, my nurse said to aim for something i'm comfortable with and my daughter said to aim for a BMI between 25-30 so almost in that bracket. I don't think i'd look healthy at the recommended weight for my height but no where seems to take age into account- I must admit i'm a bit disappointed that i'm still a size 18 for most things and with only 3.3 pounds short of a 4 stone loss was hoping to be nearer the 14-16 size.

Hope every body is having a good week, Good luck for any pending weigh ins- (my nurse still wants to see me in 4 weeks so she's not taken Christmas into consideration unlike somebody elses Dr

Keep up the good work everybody

By the way I've been treating myself to a good for you hot chocolate with Amaretto in it delicious

Trouble Sleeping - Heart Begins To Pound

Over the past two weeks or so I've had a very hard time falling asleep because of my heart. When I lay down to go to bed, my heart begins to pound very loudly and very irregularly. I can feel it through my whole body, and no amount of breathing exercises or relaxing music seems to help. I did just get diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, for which I am seeing a doctor on Thursday, and I also was diagnosed with Mono a few weeks ago. But this is seriously killing me sleep, and it's freaking me out.

I am well aware that this could be just a sign of stress. I've seen a psychologist in the past, and she taught me ways to try and combat anxiety attacks. None of the things she taught me work on this. I lost my little brother to cancer, back in October of 2013, and since then I've developed a fear of dieing in my sleep like he did. But there are NO other signs of anxiety when I am trying to sleep. My heart just begins to beat out of order on it's own accord.

Oh, some basic health info about me would probably be helpful. I'm 21 year old female. 190 pounds, five foot seven inches, so I'm considered "obese" I suppose. Gallbladder removed at 19, tonsils removed at 2. I work a 3rd shift job stocking shelves and other heavy lifting tasks at a 24 hour walmart, but because of my Mono I am not allowed to work again until May because of the risk of rupturing my Spleen.

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

Fibromyalgia :: 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?

Vasectomy :: Orgasms Lost

I had a vasectomy in 2005. Pre surgery orgasm was amazing and shot far. Since then it feels boring and the semen only drizzles. Has anyone else had this issue? Why? It's been ten years since I've had a good orgasm. I'm only 42. Dr says it's mental.
