i started the first week of july.  I lost 4 pounds is two weeks and now at a stand still.

i have been following the diet recipes on the internet, because i just don't have the time to sit and count calories and fat grams.  it is much easier to look on the net and get the menus and shopping list.  it is really easy that way and the recipes are fast so my the time i get home from work at fix meals it isn't 8pm at night.  i'm lucky because my husband will eat most of the eals i prepare.  the problem is do the recipes move you from Phase I to Phases II and III?   Does anyone know?

I don't have alot of time for exercise, with working and meal plannin.  the only time I have to exercise is on the weekends.  it would be nice if I had someone to motivate me into walking any other time.

I'm 5'2" and now 194 pounds, I started gaining weight after my children were born.  I did try weight watchers way back and went from 175 pounds to 118 pounds.  i had kept the weight off for 2 years they became stupid and before you know it the weight was back and them some.  i sure do hope the Alli pills work.  i haven't had any "treatment effects" so I'm really glad about that.  i work in an attorney's office so it wouldn't be good to have an oops there.

I really would like someone to talk to to keep me on the right track.  hope to fine a friend.

Are you in the city? I am in the north suburbs...lake Zurich. I started Alli on July 5th and lost 8 pounds the first week. I was pretty impressed, but I have alot to lose. I put on all my weight when I had my son almost 7 years ago. I am hoping this will be the option for me. I have not had any "treatment effects" either(thank god). I am a preschool teacher...that would be bad! I have done great on counting fat and calories, but have not been exercising. Good luch on your journey!!!!    Sue

Sue,

I'm in the City. Lake Zurich is pretty farm from me.  Like you I started gaining weight after my first son was born and by the time I had the second one I was quite pleasingly plumb.  I did go to Weight Watchers then and lost 68 pounds, I keep it off for 2 years, then thought I was smart and started eating again and before you knew it I was 200 pounds.

I've tried everything to lose the weight, but as you get older its harder to lose.  I'm 57 so I'm hoping to at least spend the next 20 years thin.

Thank you and good luck to you too.
