GlidewellA,

You will, there are many many programs I tried and it failed for me, too.. This is the first time in many many years that pounds have been just dropping off.  For this I am doing it cause my doctor wanted me to get some fat out of my blood, she was worried about my heart.  She knows that i have worked on many ways of trying to get this off.  And nothing worked at all.. Was gaining and gaining ..I have had foot surgery, to remove a Heel spur, and my foot was in so much pain for a couple of years.. just to walk and work was hard.. But I know this weight has to come off.. for many reasons. 

dont be jealous, just keep at it.. I write down what I eat, I keep track of how much fat grams, and how many calories in everything i put in my mouth.. I have learned that if I forget to eat, and I am not a person that eats alot.. that the doctor told me, Everything I do it.. Turns to Fat cause My mind is saying I am in Starving mode.  So that is a factor to look at.

Eat at least 3 times a day, and take a fruit for a snack...

You will make it.. keep on trying GlidewellA... You will make it too..

 Good luck to you and in my prayers..

If you know that it may happen to you, just watch what you eat... if you eat alot of greasy food, you may have that issue happen.. for me, I work and drive alot of the time, and worried about that too.. But to be honest, I havent had much of a Bowel problem as of 3 weeks into the program.  I had more of a problem with my embarrassing Bowels.. before Alli.. grin!!!!!!

good luck to you

That is too Cute having to ask your husband to hide the scales to keep you off them.. LOL

I know I may have to do that too... I keep losing and from the beginning of the 304.  now I am at 288.6 today.

I am still amazed on how well this program works, and still very happy with it.. Have my boss on it now, and a few other friends have joined in with me... We all will be Beautiful Woman of the 2008 soon!!!!

Best wishes to you and all our prayers

 Wow great job. I too am trying to reach a goal of 175. I have been on the plan now since June 24th nd I have lost a total of 36 lbs. I have had my ups and downs but I am determind to stick with it and I am hoping to be to my goal weight by this June. Best of luck to you....

Hi Sutanith

 My first weigh in was Sunday, 1/27 and I reached my goal of losing 10 pounds.  I started on the 17th and was very happy with the results.  I did not do much exercising the first few days on the program but then I started using an eliptical machine here at work for 30minutes each time, about 4 days a week and it has made a difference in the way my clothes fit.  I have a couple of pairs of pants I received for Christmas that were a little snug, and now they are already very loose.  I am so happy this is working. 

 I am also happy to hear that you are doing very good.  Keep up the good work.  For you to be able to lose 6 pounds in 1 week without really exercising is fantastic.  I have a sit down office job, so I do not get in much activity during the day, so exercise is a must for me.  Keep in touch, I'd love to hear how you are doing.  What do you eat in a typical day?  Are you satisfied with what you are eating?  

Take care,  Nancy

I am soo happy for you and believe that Alli could help me also.  i have quit smoking three years ago and have gained approximately 50 pounds.  i really need to get it off.  I just feel awful.  I hope that the support of everyone online can help, if i can get used to using the site.  LOL.  I need to erase this 200 pounds and get back to about 140-145. I know i will get there with the support of all of you.
