Hey everyone!!!

Hi I'm nicki, started taking xenical on Friday so I've only been on it 4 days now. But according to my wii fit I have lost 3lbs, hoping to make friends here to help keep me going, my weakness is kebabs, burgers and spag bol. Nasty foods to eat!!! But soooo yummy! But I have laid off the kebabs and burgers so far so good, I did cook spag bol for dinner tonight, however, instead of piling it on my plate tonight, I filled 3/4 of my plate with mixed lettuce and tomatoes, and added one spoonful of pasta and one spoonful of bol, with no cheese. I currently weigh 200lbs hoping to lose 50lbs to weigh the same amount as my hubby. Can't wait to meet u all! Xxx

hey and welcome to minimins.. you can cook a healthy spag bol try quorn mince or you can get some mince that fits in with 5g rule , i know sainsburys has some.. and a lot of pasta sauces are low fat its just a case of checking nice to meet you x

Welcome Nicki, keep posting and ask any questions you have, we're all here to help each other.

helllllooooooooooooooooo and welcome!
we are all a friendly bunch around here, and only some bite (kae hehehe lol)
but Piink is right i have spag all the time, i use either quorn mince or extra lean (i can only get it from tesco at the moment but im sure others do some) and i make the rest from fresh ingredients and some tinned tomatoes...
tesco also used to do a cheese that was in the rules too, but ive not been able to get that..

hope you are doing well, start a diary and then everyone can keep up with how you are doing!!

GOOD LUCK

Welcome.
If it is support you are looking for to help with the journey then this is sooo the right place. I have been really impressed with how generous everyone is in their support. I am 202 at the mo and aiming for a very similar weight so it will be good to follow your journey.

there are loads of foods that you can eat. I regularly have spag bol as it is one of my faves. I even have lasagne at times although I have had to sacrifice the home made cheese sauce there is a couple of the packet ones that are in the rules and don't seem to effect me.

the thing is to find what is ok with you, I have some things that are over the guidelines that I tollerate ok and other things that are in the guidelines which I still can't eat without side effects. But unfortunately it is trial and error to find them.
