Newbie!

Hi everyone I've just joined this site and to be honest I wish I'd known about it years ago lol I've struggled with my weight all my life and at the moment I'm 25 stone 5 I've started taking xenical yesterday and I'm hoping and praying that it helps me. In the long term I'm hoping to be accepted for weight loss surgery which is a scary prospect has anyone gone down this route or tried xenical any advice would be great as I feel so alone at the moment my husband can't really relate as his life aim is to get up to 10 stone lol thanks guys x

You will find a lot of help over on the Xenical forum and diaries. Also go and have a look in the WEMITTS and Century Club. There are a lot of us larger folks on there and in the diary section on a similar journey to you. I think there is a weight loss surgery forum as well.

We're all on different plans and have our own obstacles but our aim is the same. If we can do it so can you. Start posting and you will get lots of support and advice.

Good luck.

Thanks tranquillity for your kind words congrats on your fab weight loss keep it up I hope I'm as successful as you x

Hi and welcome. Good luck with xenical.
