Not really sure what to say on here but here goes...
I'm Ciara. 26. Have been battling with my weight ohhh most of my life i'd say. I've tried several diets but was never 100% committed for some reason or other.
In December I finally plucked up the courage to go speak to my Dr who has been so great and supportive. I started reductil and lost just under a stone. This is now banned and was given xenical. I wasn't keen on this as i've heard such horror stories about it but after finding this forum i've decided to give it a go.
Am now on day 4 and so far it's not been bad. I had too much fat yesterday (need to learn to read labels correctly!!) so have had a few side effects today but i'm going to keep going!
This forum has been great and a real encouragement. I dont think I would have started if it wasn't for hearing the success stories.
OK i'm really rambling now. I've never written an online diary before so am hoping this will keep me going when motivation is lacking and cravings are taking over!
My first goal is to lose anything this week and really get my head around low fat meals!
