I'm sure your doctor has explained that the treatment is NOT a substitute for exercise and healthy eating.
But if you're seeing him/her every four weeks and everything you do is working together as it should - you won't be over 13 stone for much longer.
Best of luck.
Echo what Jj says.
Just by posting on here, you have already started to take the steps to be an even more fabulous person than you already are.
Rather than focusing on your weight, have you tried measuring yourself too - sometimes the inch loss continues, even when the weightloss plateaus, as you tone your body up. You might also find that the wellbeing you feel after a run (run/walk, walk, etc - it's all good) helps you in other areas of your life too.
Good luck in your training for the half marathon, and have you thought about logging all your training - it can be very encouraging as you see the miles creep up.
I use Fetcheveryone (I'm hopeless at links, so you may have to cut and paste the website)

I didn't like it so I made sure I ate very healthily for a while and that had the same effect (weight loss I mean, not the toilet runs).
However, my eating habits have gone back to what they were a year ago and the weight has gone back on. I find if I do a weekly weigh in I cheat at the start of the week hoping to lose weight in the last few days, this didn't work either so I have gone back to daily weigh ins. As long as I don't put any on I am happy and by the end of the week I usually lose a few lbs. That's fine by me. I do run 4/5 times a week, only short little 2 -5 mile runs but it's all exercise which is all good.
Don't know if that helps at all but hopefully you will find something that does. God luck
Statistically, orlistat combined with a lowish fat diet does have a marginally bigger effect on weight loss than dieting alone, but they're not miracle drugs by any means. And as Phil points out, if you lapse from your diet (or sometimes even if you don't) nations will fight to have you in their Olympic squitting team and you'll avoid sitting on seats that have white cushions.
Good luck!
Personally I'd forget pills, fad diets and groups, and just manage my own regime. You need to log everything you eat and list its calorific content. Yep, weigh that pasta. You may be shocked at how much you're absorbing.
Have pasta a couple of times a week but get your carbs elsewhere too. I'm also trying to lose weight, and am finding it quite easy most of the time, eating a lot of salads and veg. I've cut right back on potatoes, bread and pasta, and it's made a very big difference. I appreciate that we need carbs for running but I've just reduced what I take in.
My bigger problem is that I can have 5 or 6 days a week of good eating, then I go to the pub or have a bottle of wine at home, and my resolve disappears. I end up then having a binge for a day or two. If I can get rid of this tendency, I'll be fine. Despite that, my weight is still steadily reducing, and have lost about 20 pounds over 3 months so far, which I'm happy with.
Good luck.
Give pulses, lentils, brown rice, quinoa, oats,cous cous, green and yellow veg a try, and make most of your meal vegetable/salad based. Also try to eat raw veg/salad, every time you have something cooked.
I lost weight this way, and also kept up fantastic energy levels.
P.S. Also low-fat rules apply.
I did go further and cut out dairy,eggs and meat, but that is a personal choice.
