I just started this week takeing alli. Not sure if it is working. Looking for someone to talk to about the pill. So if you live in west texas write me back.

I'm from Dallas...hope that is close enough :)

I just started the pill last friday and was on the new diet the week prior.....so far no TE effects ...and I lost 7lbs by Friday ....so I can't wait to see what adding the pill does...

 Good luck!

I used to live in Midland and now live near Dallas...Is that close enough? How long have you been on alli and what are your stats? I started 3 weeks ago, but took the week of the 4th off because I was visiting family. I've only lost 3 pounds (I have 40 lbs. to lose). Kind of disappointed because I thought I was doing well on my fat grams/calories and started working out 6 days last week (including strength training). I've read Bob Greene's "Best Life Diet" book and he is big on not weighing for a whole month once you start exercising. I think it has something to do with your muscles retaining water. Anyway, I'm going to stick with it.

Let me know how you are doing. :-)

Lubbock, where are you?

I'm in Levelland. 

I grew up in Snyder.  I live in Tennessee now. 

Dawnshinn,

Small town of Venus (just about as strange :) )

Anyway since being on the pill I have lost an additional 3 lbs....so a total of 10.....and no TE effects....just sticking to the under 15 grams per meal...however my plan called for 1800 calories a day and I can't seem to get there....so I have been averaging about 1100 to 1200 a day....I feel like I'm stuffing myself to get to the 1200 so I guess that is a good thing, not feeling deprived....

What is your goal weight loss?   My goal is over 100 lbs

I also try not to weigh everyday ...keep it up though that 1 lb will add up...keep me posted

L,

Venus? I've never heard of that. What were the people from Texas long ago thinking?!

I'm 186 lbs. and would like to finally get down to 145. Since I've had my 2 sons I haven't gotten below 160 (a span of 12 years). I'm the queen of yo yo dieting. January 1st I weighed 217 so right now I guess I'm at a plateau (been there for 2 months so I don't know if I should really call it that...more like went off my diet).

I went a little off the diet today...didn't write down what I ate and didn't take any pills. I'll be better tomorrow.

DS,

The name is actually a little better now....it used to be named Gossip (hehehe)....but I guess all small towns should be named Gossip!

 Yesterday wasn't my best day either...had major munchies....actually got closer to the 1800 calories since I have started....hang in there.....you went from 217 to 186 so that is a great accomplishment!!  (I'm clapping and cheering now for you)

145-155 is my goal.....used to weigh that way back when.....had a medical issue that caused me to gain about 90 lbs in 3 to 4 months.....about 5 years ago.....took forever to get the issue pinpointed (don't you love it when your doctor tells you that it is just your body getting older and your metabolism is changing)...anywhooo.....

Tomorrow is here so I have my game face back on.....how bout you?

Hey,

I'm from Texas too. I have tried to reply to this thread once already, but cannot find my entry.  Anyway, I live in Weatherford (close to Fort Worth). I just started the Alli plan and will start on the pills tomorrow. I am kind of nervous about the whole thing.  I have tried many things, but not much accomplished.

Keep in touch

Hey deba,

I just started this plan too.  I live in Weatherford (close to Fort Worth).  I start on the pills tomorrow (thursday). I am a little nervous about the whole thing and also about failure.  I have tried to reply to you before, but guess it never went throught because I have not seen it. I would love to have someone to chat with about all of this.

bbrussum, Good luck today!

I've kept my fat intake below 15...mostly around 10g and I haven't had many TE's....I did notice the one time that I was at 15g that I had minimum effects, but nothing embarrassing....changes mostly seem to be with the changing of my diet, I guess I'm eating more fiber  :).....

Let me know how it goes.

Hey bbrussum,

 I can't tell if it is working for me.
