"(i wrote this back in june: i&#039;ve been using orlistat for 3 weeks now and have only lost 1 lb so far. i can honestly say that i have had no side effect. been very careful of what i have eaten. have only been going to the gym once a week but with 3 kids i&#039;m on the go all day). 

i didn&#039;t think the drug was working for me so tested it out: i ate as much chocolate and biscuits as i wanted and boy didn&#039;t i pay for it the next day. since then i cut out carbs, still have treats maybe still to many of them which i&#039;m trying to cut down again, not suffering the side effects though, very occasionally i&#039;m windy but i&#039;ve lost 12lbs. i would recommend it to anyone. i&#039;m 1 stone and 3 lbs off my target weight."
