Hi C.!
The only problem with Xenical is that you only really use it if you are eating fatty stuff. If you are already watching what you eat, it really isn't that good of a medication. Honey, I am the DIET PILL QUEEN, I know all the stuff that is out there! I have done pills and have done all the diets that are out there. I have actually lost 20 lbs. doing it via exercise and diet and also I am seeing a Hypnothereapist for it as well. I have lost about 25 lbs. since May 2006 and need to lose (I think) another 20 lbs. WW didn't even work for me, I think because I wasn't eating enough and wanted to save my 35 points when I really needed them, but I kept losing the same 5 lbs., but it does work for some people!
Another thing about Xenical, girl you will have to wear minipads because what it does is it take 30% of the fat that you eat and dispels it out of your body every time you have a BM, you will see all the dropletts of fat in the commode. (sorry to be so graphic), but if you get any on your underwear, just a one of those greasy drops, you will have to go home and change, because the smell will drive you crazy and you can smell it and everyone else can too!! That was the thing I kept running into when I took it. It really is used to maintain your weight once you have reached your goal. It is really not to be used to lose anything.
Sounds like you are doing it the right way and losing slowly. It is hard especially when you have been able to get it all off quicker (like me, a long, long time ago), but it just takes longer now. My age and me having a baby doesn't help matters, but I have learned that it just takes time and hard work!
Keep up the hard work!
