I have founnd this website really helpful so here is my story. I had lost 19 lbs with Weight watchers a year ago but have only managed to keep off 9.5 llbs of it. so as my BMI was over 30 I asked the doctor if I could use Xenical. He said yes he would presribe it to me a month at a time. I have ate any high fat foods for fear of the terrible after affects, I have been eating between 1800 and 2000 kcals a day and around 10-15g of fat a day.

The worst thing I have ate in 4 weeks is a packet of smarties, I am so pleased as usually at least a bar of choc a day plus other high fat foods I feel a real new start to my eating and exercise habits.
