I have been doing this for a week and have lost 7 pound. I am pleased however have found it very hard days over the past few days but I have stuck with it

Going on holiday in a four weeks and would love to lose another 7 pounds by then

 

[GemmaLS1034]

Not been a good day today

Not sure why though but I have literally eaten everything in sight.

Going to start a fresh tomorrow.

Got three weeks until I go back and see the doctor and I have got to have lost a stone by then.

Give it a few days and it will go down as the foods you ate process through your intensional tract just continue eating as you should for weight loss

Went to see the doctor today.....

Got my results from the blood test I had the other week.

All was ok, could be better.

The doc asked how it was going with orlistat and I was honest, told him not very well.
I explained that I lost 7 pound the first week but the second week went downhill from day 1.
We had a nice chat, was in there for about 20 mins.
I explained I am having trouble keeping motivated.
He explained to me that I need to do something about it now otherwise I will end up with more health problems and be a lot of heavier.

He also asked if I was depressed or stressed and I said not particulary I am normally a happy bubbly person but on occasions I do have a bad day where I am a little moody and sad (normally time of the month)

I also mentioned that I am going to Spain in 3 weeks for 4 days and I said shall I just wait till I get back and start. Doc said no coz I could put on up to a stone by then and with the holiday too.

He asked me to pick a day to start so I said Monday.

He gave me a diet plan to stick too which looks good and I will need to do some food shopping.

We talked about exercising and I am going to try and exercise for 1 hour every day.

We spoke about what to eat whilst I am away and he told me I don't have to pig out to have a great time. Eat plenty of fruits and salads he said.

So I walked out of there with a 6 week prescription for orlistat and I have to go back on the 25th October and he wants me to have lost between 14-20 which roughly works out at 2-3 pound a week.

I have come to realise that this is really my final chance and I have just GOT to make it work.

Sorry for the long post x

At least he sounds supportive of you though. Doctors like that make you want to try

Can you ask your Dr for an exercise referral? My GP referred me to a programme designed to kick start exercise. It's basically reduced rates gym for 12 weeks and you get support.

You can do it, back to basics for a few days, sounds like we're a similar starting weight etc, I've got a bit of a diary going have a read and maybe we can check in on each other over next few weeks!

3 weeks before your holiday you could lose a decent amount before then and think how much better you will feel on holiday xx
