Has anyone used Xenical and if so how much weight did you lose and how long did it take?

I've been thinking about going back on it. I lost close to thirty pounds in the first month but I also switched to water from Pepsi. I also didn't much care for the side effect so I cut a lot of fat from my diet which lessened the trips to the bathroom. If you do try it, don't get discouraged by the lack of pounds coming off because it seems to take the inches off first. I wish you well.

I've tried many...and I wish I could have my money back lol.  Only thing that worked a little was Leptropril.  I lost about 8lbs, but gained it back.  Just stick w/ a healthy diet & regular exercise.  There's nothing better.

As lame as it sounds, I have tried a bunch of different ones, and followed directions carefully. The only one that I had lasting and noticeable results was with NV.\n\nTry it, it's just one pill in the morning and one in the afternoon, and within a month, you'll notice a huge difference! I've lost 25lbs with it already! Of course, I have also cut my caloric intake and increase my cardio to 4-5 times a week, but I was working out steadily with the others as well. This one works.

I've gained weight on every BCP I took except Yasmin.  I lost about 5-6 lbs and kept it off.  As soon as I got off of it I gained it all back plus a couple for good measure.

Having tried pretty much every diet pill known to man heh, this is what I found.\nThese are just my *personal* experiences, these pills work differently for everyone.\n\nMetabolife - curbs hunger a bit, gives whole body a warm feeling as if metabolism is higher, little bit of nausea and anxiety, fairly mild long-lasting (half a day).\n\nHoodia - did nothing at all for me\n\nStacker (2 or 3) - makes heart race, body heats up tons, no appetite at all, jitters, nausea and anxiety, intense and brief in action (few hours)\n\nXenadrine (my favourite) - reduces appetite and makes it manageable, feeling of fullness, little bit of nausea, general mild long-lasting feeling. (half a day)\n\nHerbalean - somewhere between Stacker and Xenadrine.. heats up whole body, slightly sick feeling with very little appetite, works for a few hours.\n\nPhentermine - did nothing for me (but I got it online so might have been fake)\n\nOverall, these days I use Xenadrine alternated with Herbalean... before a work out I use Stacker. This is definitely not healthy, and has given me chest pain with palpitations at times. However, I was miserable enough with the weight that it was worth it to me. Gone from 240 lbs to 150.\n\n----edit----\nmeant to add that my weight loss attempt also included hardcore working out, and very little food, I don't think the pills themselves made me lose weight, but rather assisted me in curbing the hunger from not eating, and giving me the energy to exercise. On their own they'd probably do nothing at all.

I had it a while back, you do lose like 20 inches, but bear in mind these inches add up to like 1/4 of inch here and 1/3 of an inch there, they mark about 20 parts of your body.  Must admit, I did feel cleansed and lighter after it and if you detox for about 3 days after you do lose more.\nIt works for a quick fix or as a kick start of a diet.\nPointless if you do wot my mate did........went into the chippie next door to the salon after having one!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took Trimspa for about a week... and I'll be honest... I lost weight.. but I was in the bathroom at least 10 times a day... I think it makes all your supposed water weight come out to make you feel lighter.  If you have a job to where you can run to the bathroom every half hour... then go for it! I'm a bank teller.. and sometimes it's kinda hard to get away from my station.  Also, another thing... when I took the pills, which was usually in the morning before work... I felt as if something in my chest was burning right after I took them.  I'm not sure if it was because they were going down my throat or not... but it was SO scary! And sometimes I felt like I was having chest pains! It's not a nice feeling... but people are different! All I can say is try it for a few days... if you like it... keep going.. if you don't... STOP! That's what I did.  It was great I lost a few pounds but the feeling I had when I took them and the bathroom breaks was not worth it.  I'll just stay chunky.  My fiance loves me for who I am.  Good luck hunny! :)

I used phentermine for almost 6 months in conjunction with Weight Watchers and a sensible exercise program after having a baby.  I was thin to begin with, but gained 60 pounds while pregnant and needed some serious help!  You need to use your head and continue eating while on it and use your time on the drug to modify your lifestyle appropriately so that you do not gain the weight back when you go off.  I did experience some side effects such as dry mouth and mild insomnia, but none that would deter me from doing anything differently.  I recommend it if you truly need it, there are times when willpower and effort alone just aren't enough.  BTW, one year after going off phen I have lost five more pounds and am two pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight.  Good luck!

Remember how much you ate while on the phentermine and try to keep to that once you go off it. I'm about to go off mine after 3 months and I'm a little worried too about that.  Last time I was on it I didn't exercise or change my eating habits so I gained the weight back.  This time I was already exercising and restricting my food intake when I started on the pills.  So they were just kind of a leg-up with some extra weight loss.\n\nI work out 4 hours a week (3x a week for 80 minutes) and I eat slim-fast for 10 of my 19 meals every week.  I've lost about 35 lbs since February.

i swear by hydroxycut, it helped me lose a fair amount of stubborn weight. i've also used ephedrine, but it was banned by the FDA, i'm not sure if it still is but its hard to get.\ni got results which i liked, i've heard a lot of people say that its all fake and only has a placebo effect, but who cares as long as it helps.

Okay there is 1 pill as I've stated on many pages, that does work and is WATCHED BY THE FDA!!! it's "HOODIA"...it was a cactus that they used in South Africa when their tribes would go on hunts, it's what they would eat when they had nothing to eat, it kept them healthy and slim...look it up on yahoo...I use the "smartburn" *with hoodia in it* and lost 15lbs in 2 weeks, this diet pill was posted all over the news including 60minutes, it's really incredible...check it out :o)

I'm on NV now. No crazy side effects and still losing weight. About 4 pounds a week with no excercise!!! I tried Jenny Craig a while ago too but i didnt have the time to eat 5 or 6 meals a day so it really didnt work out.

Yes I have.  I have seen no difference..........BUT...... I joined a gym for the exercise and watch my food intake.  I have lost 76 lbs in a yr and half.  No pill can do that.  Stay with the natural...no meds!

i am in the same position as you, i am getting married in september and i looking to lose at least a stone. i have just changed my eating habbits completely. i have a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast and lunch then a fairly sensible meal for tea. you can make a smoothie with all most any type of fruit or fruit juice. my favourite at the moment is banana and peach with skimmed milk. it is filling and good for you, so not only will you lose weight you will be much healthier too. \n\nif this doesnt work for you you can go to your Dr and they can help you lose weight if you are seen to be clinically overweight. they can prescribe either xenical, or reductil.  xenical reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs, which may sound perfect but it had it's down sides. if you eat more than 50 grams of fat a day, the excess fat you consume comes out in your poo! and the only way to describe it is like cooking oil and you have no control over it.  i used xenical last year for about 5 months and lost 2 stone so it does work.\n\nthe other one reductil is an appetite suppressant, cant really go into much more detail than that as i have no experience of it.\n\nhope this is usefull and you manage to lose the weight you want.\n\ngood luck xxx

I went into a cutting phase for a boxing match and had excellent results with xanadrine 8 hour. 1 dose and it works all day unlike other fat burners that you take 3 times a day. If you use this you should get the results you are looking for with you're continued good diet and exercise of course.

Haha.. i know wat you mean.. i tried losing weight while an ex boyfriend was away as well ;)\n\nI am not sure about slimming pills but I never used them because I dun trust them. I am worried they will have side effects.\n\nThus I chose a healthier way. I detoxed and lost 15kg in 2 months. You can see my before after pics here:\nhttp://dreamsincredibles.blogspot.com/2005/10/angel-lost-15kg-within-2-months.html\n\nIf you want to find out more about how to lose weight quickly and effectively, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com
