I just started  today, 7/11.  I'm in Columbus...........I would like to lose 60 plus pounds.

Hi! 

From NE Ohio...45 min. west of Cleveland

I started on July 5th and have lost 4.2 lbs.

Looking for buddies in the area for support

Alison

Hello, all, I would love to join in. I am just north of Dayton.  I have been taking Alli since June 23 and have lost 8 pounds.  So far, so good.  I just started reading these message boards and it is amazing how helpful they are!  Count me in!  And good luck everyone.

Hi everyone, I am Sheri from the Akron area and it is real encouraging to see so many people wanting to support each other.  I started Alli on July 9th and (I know you are not supposed to weigh each day but I am addicted)  I have lost 3.6 lbs already.  This proves that I have really been eating wrong, since my activity level has stayed the same. 

Hope to hear some of your stories, tips, encouraging words, etc.....

Gosh Mansfield here as well

Western Ohio here. I'm west and north of Dayton near the Indiana line.

Started at 347 last February and was at 315 in June. I have stayed the same since then so I started Alli last week to give me a bit of a jump start again.

My goals are baby steps. My first big one was to get my BMI below 50 and that was a happy success.

The next goal is 299 and from there....one day at a time

Love,

Barb

 Hi! Just refreshing this post--looking for current members in Ohio. I am up in the Akron/Cleveland area. Hi!

 Still awake (11:39pm) and still on the Alli boards and have restarted my Alli promise to lose, today !

I'm in Mansfield (off I-71 between Cleveland and Columbus). 

 I am between Cincy & Dayton, this year I want to lose 30 pounds by July vacation.

I'm just east of Cleveland. Started last Sunday and want to lose 25 pounds by mid-March.

Hi Michelle,

I also live between Cincy and Dayton.  Actually Monroe.  Where are you?   

I am currently 175lbs and would like to be at 135lb.

 Hello from Ohio.. I to just started on the 1st and am from S.E ohio....Love to meet other people from Ohio   Beth

I am from Cincinnati and just ordered a starter pack. I hope to begin Friday, 1/9/09. In the meantime I have been doing a lot of research in preparation. I haved heard the keys to success with this are eating at least 15 fat grams per meal and all of your daily calories. Otherwise, your weight loss will be sluggish or non-existent. Eat fat and calories to lose weight? Go Figure!!! Maybe my restrictive low fat diets and calorie cutting is the reason I have been dieting for 20 years with little success. I hope everyone follows up with their successes. I will do the same after starting.

I am also from Ohio, Lorain County right on the lake.  Too bad people aren't closer.  I could use a work out buddy!
