I am also in that range.  I've been on and off Allie for two weeks, but I am now ready to settle down and get serious.  I'm 5'5 and currently 205 (a little more than what you stated) but my ultimate goal is 135.  Goodluck!!

Hello~ Would love to be a part of this group. I'm 5' 4 started at 198 and after 2 months finally down to 184~ This is the first program that has worked for me in years. My target weight is 135-140. Already clothes are looking better, and i am fitting in things that have been tight. The best thing about ALLI: learning to eat better foods and a new outlook on weight loss.

 Just thought maybe we can start a little group of us that are in the same now and "then" range for support!!

 I kinda fit into this group and I've been enjoying reading this thread :)

I currently weigh 175 (right at your cutoff) and my goal weight is 140-145. I would love to shoot for 135, but I think that would be a little rough for me. We'll see, tho! My real goal is to fit into a size 6.

I am 5'8'' and started my diet (I'm on weight watchers) at 182 almost 4 weeks ago. It's been slow going so far, but the alli seems to be giving me a boost.

Any hints or tips you'd like to share are welcome!

Hi I'm 5'1" and currently weigh 185.  Started at 202.5 back in 1/1/07

Started being serious again about alli this past sunday.  I want to get down to 135.

I love that there are so many great success stories about alli, it reminds me of how well it works. 

 

Hello I am 5'2.5 and i weight 195lb and i started on alli on 10-16-07 and it might sound a lil crazy but i lost 5lb and only been on it a day im excited

I completly agree with you! I don't feel like I am on a diet... I enjoy the things I eat, yes there are times that I want RANCH DRESSING! hahahaha! But I have only had it once since Aug! haha! So thats pretty impressive for me... =) I am 5'6 and right now I weigh 180, My goal weight is 150, but I'd love to be lower, I'm starting out at 150 right now. so far I've lost 14 lbs, so good lucK!

count me in....although I'm extremely nervous this is one more diet I will fail at.... I am currently 178 and want to be 115....although I would probably be open to 125 if I looked good....I also am nervous because I'm having second thoughts about purchasing alli...I keep telling myself, what if I just try to diet without it, but the sad truth is I probably need more of a push (such as side effects) to make me wanna stick to it....so any help/motivation would be very much appreciated....my husband and I are starting Monday Oct. 22nd. 

Me too!  I started at 167 2 weeks ago, and dropped 2 lbs to 165 when I started on the pills Monday.  I think the 167 was skewed high though, as I only weighed that much one day.  Close enough though.  My goal is to get into my size 4 jeans I wore in January :-(.  I'm in a 10 if they're not the "skinny" jeans that are oh so popular right now (why???), so that's what I'm claiming.  I'll have to be under 135 for sure, but not sure what the final number will be.  Good luck to everyone!

Hello Everyone!

 I just started with my Alli pills this morning and fit perfectly into this description: I am 5'6'' and currently weigh 195 (down one pound from starting the diet a few days ago) and my goal weight is 130. I had two babies, basically one right after the other and am desperately trying to lose the baby weight plus more. I would love to be in a size 8. So far everything is going pretty well although it is challenging to be on a diet around my fiance and my children. I also find it challenging to find time to exercise. I am getting married next year in July so I want to reach my goal by then to fit into my dream wedding dress and WOW everyone (especially those who haven't seen me in a while). Anyway, everyone keep up the good work and have fun!!

 

I'm in.  I am 5' 2" and started Alli at 217 lbs.  I am currently at 195lbs, I have been on Alli since July 1st.  My goal is to be below 135.

After a very long plateau, I have finally broke it and am back to losing weight again.  What a great feeling.  Keep posting and good luck to everyone.

I am similar to you.  I am 5'7" so close to your ht.  I weighed 175 lbs to begin with.  I have lost about 25 lbs since changing my diet, exercising, and starting alli.  My goal is 140 lbs.  Yes, I too would love to weigh 135 lbs ideally, but 140 would be great.  I now weigh 151 lbs (so I have lost 24 lbs not 25 to be exact, lol).  I haven't lost weight extremely fast.  There have been as much as 2 weeks where I didn't lose at all, and usually I lose 1 lb a week.  There has only been 2 week where I lost 4lbs in 1 week.  Wow, that was a happy day.  I remember my first 4 weeks being slow as well.  How are you doing since this message?  I would love to hear from you, and hear any tips you have found that work since we are similar in our goals.  I am wishing you and everyone here all the luck in the world.  The support that I find on here is wonderful.  I can feel everyone wanting everyone else to succeed.  I recommend this plan to my friend and family.

Yes I am in the same position because of hormones, menopause.  No eating habit changes.  I am trying myalli.com but have only lost 4 lbs over 3 months, perhaps not due to myalli.  I don't know.

Please keep me up on what  this group is doing because I am in the same boat and want to be involved!  Thanks, Tracey

i started this year off at 232 my heaviest ever, i am now 185, I've lost 25 pounds will Alli since June. I decided last Saturday i was no longer going to take Alli because i do not want to have to take pills for ever, Alli has taught me a lot about eating healthy but i still have a long way to go to go to 130's.
