obesity
"I started taking Orlistat (Xenical) in November 2015 weighing 16st 13lbs, prescribed by my GP as I was overweight and recently diagnosed with PCOS. I always found it very difficult to lose weight. By February 2016 I had gone down to 12st 12lb making it a loss of 4st 1lb in 4 months. By March 2016 I had lost another stone.

 I then decided to stop taking orlistat and try to keep the weight off and carry on with my healthy eating. I kept the weight off for around 3 months after stopping medication - gaining 1lb and then losing it again every few weeks. I am now taking Orlistat again as I have gained back 2 stones since my lightest weight (my fault as I have not stuck to a healthy eating plan) and have again lost 7lb in a week. Really happy!"
