I took da xenical pills weneva i ate fastfood or any fatty food wen i went off diet , n here iam gained 6.5 lbs in 9 days or sumth :s .. However my menstrual is expected in next week , cud it b the water retention weight so early ??? Or wat :( .?

a body can hold 8 pounds of water due to retention from menstruation or too much sodium as well as any allergy or cold pills. Water is key in helping to flush out the sodium and drop the bloating.

I suggest you read posts on this web 2 times per day, eat an extra salad per day,add 7 pieces of fruit, no banana per day for about 5 days and watch your system clear itself. If your colon is not clear, you can feel awful. The fruit will help.  Like you, I too am trying to get my body back in shape. I have always lifted weight and been strong, but now I am fat and strong and want to get my pounds off. I like this site and all the support it has to offer. I hope this will help you to feel better. Try my suggestions and let me know how they work for you. I am going to add you to my friends list, so you can email any questions. I think helping you will in turn help me.

Best wishes

"dieting" and taking pills never works for long.  The minute you go back to your old eating habits the weight comes back.  I regret all the years I spent thinking I could lose  that way.

Here's what works

Eat a balanced diet that is the appropriate amount of calories for you to lose, based on the CC tools.

Move more, even it it's just taking a walk

When you finally lose weight and get to your goal, use the CC tools again to determine your calorie level for maintenance.

Do these things forever, not just for now.
