wow how did you work out all your cals and fat... hoooww goooood are you!!! i wanna be able to do that!

 

[Earthmother]

Cant take credit. Most things have the food values listed, you just adjust according to the weight you want to consume. Loose packed stuff like fresh meat, fish and potatoes etc., I just weigh and calculate by the little calorie & fat book I've got. This is years old, but calories and fat values dont change. Get yourself one. Love.

Oh dear, I made a lovely Greek lamb casserole for OH but waited too long before preparing something low fat for me. Ended up having a small portion of the casserole. BIG mistake. 450 cals - a whopping 21.3 GRAMS OF FAT. Did the wrong thing by eating it before calculating the values. Woke up with rumblings about 3 in the morning and just made it to the loo in time.
In a way this was reassuring as I have been on the tabs almost 2 weeks and have never had any of the famous 'effects'. At least I know they are working!

So, with the milk total that I missed off earlier this makes Thursdays totals:

1511 cals - 54.5g fat.

Opps .... well at least you know that the tablets do work and all these side effects arent just a myth to keep us on the straight and narrow!

Your doing great tho, keep it up xxx

 

[Kes]

oh well.. at least you know that you wont do that again!!!
good luck for your weigh in tomorrow (at least i think its tomorrow.....
mind gone blank!!!

I've lost 2 1/2 lbs this week! I'm well chuffed, thats 4lb in the two weeks I've been on the diet. I didn't count calories the first week, and this week I've had an average of 1400cals per day instead of the 1200 I should have had, but I was well down on the fat, daily average 36g. I think if I can reduce my calories I'd get a better loss. I dont care if I lose slowly because thats the best way to do it, I just need to get about 3 stone off for May, 1/2 stone a month would be perfect!

You've done well losing weight yourself mrspaddy

The only reason I opted for xenical over the other one (whose name escapes me) is that I'd have to go back to get my blood pressure taken every couple of weeks with the other tablet. So I thought I'd try xenical first and see how it goes. So far so good.

 

[Earthmother]

Well Ive just had my 3rd weigh in and Ive lost 1 lb this week. Quite happy as my goal is to lose 7 lbs per month and thats 5 lb in three weeks. I didn't bother posting my food diary this week either, and Ive had a fair few glasses of vino. Gonna post my food diary this week and lay off the booze.

 

[Kes]

A loss is still a loss, and its great that you are still upbeat about it!!
i dont think im going to lose that much this week, but im still trying to be positive... they say that 1-2lb's per week is a really good weight to lose it at...
so WELL DONE!!!
