I'm in need of a bit of motivation as I'm not having any weigh ins with my gp and could do with someone who will check in on my progress. I'm 26 with 2 kids from Leeds. Get in touch if you want a diet buddy xx

Hi Rowena,

Great that so many people have answerd but why aren't you being seen by your GP? Mine won't prescribe it again without a visit and weigh in

Hiya Rowen, I am in Cheshire and i started this 4 weeks ago, i first of all started on the low 60mg to see if it would work for two weeks then my doctor upped it to the 120mg, i am monitored every month by my doctors and so far in week 3.. i have lost bang on 1 stone and 1/2lb.. its a good tablet to make you aware of the orange monster so to speak but its made me look at fat intake of what i thought was a previously good healthy diet.. my weight balloned up to nearly 20 stone as i have to have steroids for mobility in theatre every 6 months.. so doctor has put me on these to counteract the steroids and so far so good..

Dont get disheartened, just because you think you havent you might be suprised, i have been on the 4 weeks and have lost over a stone, if you are getting the orange monster, watch what fat content you are eating xx

Well done kim i have been on it 4 weeks and have lost just over a stone am thrilled, am happy that no orange monster has appeared this week so am trying to keep to less that 30g of fat a day...
