I'm really excited to start this tomorrow. I've had the pills for about a month and finally got the courage. I know I'll need help from someone around my age, though. I'm a 19yr female. It can get tough going to school and keeping up with the diet and exercise plan. So it would really help if I could find some other students so we could help each other through. Oh, I have about 40lbs to lose.

Hi goldenstar5L!

I'm a college student too. I'm 18 years old and have about 35-40lbs to lose. I just started Alli last week, and I can already feel the difference! If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.

Hey there!

I'm in college, too.. and been working on the plan for a few weeks now.

The first few weeks seem to demonstrate what kind of a "loser" you are.. atleast for me. I read posts all the time about people starting out and losing like 4-10 pounds right away.. yea. That's not me hahah. I've been consistent though and lost 2 pounds one week, then 1, then 2 again.. So I'm at 5lb lost altogether.. I was hoping it'd go faster since I work out almost every like a maniac but that's the way it goes, I guess.

How's it going for you?

Good luck! Write again soon :)

Gosh "goldenstar5L,"

You're brave beginning this program with finals coming up.  BUT . . . as a college professor and a successful "loser" on this plan - I've lost 45 pounds and am now in maintenace, my "tip" for finals week snacking  is to buy a HUGE bunch of grapes and pop those in your mouth for late-night cramming.
