I made it through the grocery store adventure!Alittle more pricier than before,

but well worth it(I hope).I bought some eggs & wheat bread to use for breakfast,some

rice cakes & some low sodium,healthy living soups...for starters.

Also some veggies for supper.

I had my first TE today.I figured that since I didn't take my alli with breakfast that I'd stop to get me

a Java Chiller from Sonic....bad idea!!

I'm still riding my exercise bike & trying to drink more water.I've made an app. with myself

to walk the track the one day a week that I get off at 1.

Speaking of app.,I go Thursday @ 11,if I can wait that long.This sinus/ear  thingy is the pits.

 Hello all well havnt been on Alli site in a min well I have 2 jobs now I just joined a gym because between my work schedules and the weather here in Miami going to the park everyday was getting a little hard to do... Soo I joined 24 hr fitness wow and must I say it's great!!! Well for one daycare!!!! hehehe 2nd its open 24hr nooo rushing!! and it has showers so I work out at 5:30-6:30 jump in the shower n out the door to be at my 1st job by 8am... One thing I wont do 8is give up I have to keep moving forward and a busy work schedule won't stop me I only have like 24 pounds to go!!

Anyway if it's time for anyone to buy Alli pills WALGREENS HAS A COUPON FOR 10 DOLLARS OFF! I think only for this week.. Ima going on my 3rd bottle in about 2 days!!!

Keep being strong Alli Fam!!!

 Once again, Nyla, you are right! That 1600 was a glitch in the system.  I found I could go to edit goals and reset it to 1800 with no problems. I will continue to monitor, of course, and if I stop losing I will reduce calories/fat.

As to the other, I'm afraid that you have me confused with another poster, which is only fair, since I confused you and Lizzie a while back. I've lost 18 pounds so far and I have a wonderful support group of friends and coworkers who are full of compliments about the getting svelt me! One more pound to go to reach my second goal. Then 30 more to go.

 HEYYYYY I have to shout it out on all my favorite boards !!!! Woooo hoooooo ! If I could do a cartwheel without snapping my neck off I would!

 My weigh-in was this morning ! I HAVE LOST 4 MORE POUNDS !!!  That makes a total of 13 pounds in 4 weeks with ALLI! Alli has helped me take off 13 freaking pounds in 4 weeks !!!!! (did I repeat myself)  If alli was a man I would divorce my husband and marry him ! I am sooooo happy !!! Yes my pants fit me great ! No longer gut squeezing tight ! Still in a 16 but OOOO so comfortable. Keep up with the program and listen to the advice they give you it works !!!!

 I was little miss negative yesterday, but feeling better today.  I got a new exercise tape yesterday and it was great (Leslie Sanone).  I used it yesterday and already used it today.  I've got to loose my 2 pounds this week to make me a total of 20 pounds in 2 months.    Great going Mwok.  I'm still working to get into those 16's.  I can fit into my 16 shorts, but my 16 jeans are still not there.  4 Pounds in one week is worth shouting about!  Keep it up!  I've learned that I lost faster in my first month and then it slowed to 1 or 2 maybe a week, but my inches are unbelievable.  So keep going for another great month. 

 Bec--The grocery store prices are getting crazy. Especially when you are trying to but certain things that may not be on the regular list. I have 3 kids and it sucks to buy like my yogurt or string cheese (big$$$) and then I feel bad when they want some and it is hard to tell them no. How is the bike going? I am glad you have your app on Thursday. Let me know how that goes. Talk with ya soon.

 Mrs.pitts--Good for you. It sounds like you are keeping yourself very busy. Great job on the loss so far. Not much more to go now!!! Very proud!! Thanks for the info on the coupon, I will have to check that out. Hope you have a great day and talk with ya soon.

 Leslye---I am glad you got the cal/fat thing figured out. How are you feeling? Any better? Oops, I am sorry about the mix up. I know what happened too. I was trying to get through the post real quick and was writing to you when I saw the part at the bottom of your post (box of tissue...pity me) and thought about 'jsk' having problems and got confussed for a moment. Ya know what, the funny part is later I even thought about that.....oh well sorry. It does get confusing sometimes with so many new people (but I love it!!!). Also it gets hard when a name is not posted. It is a little easier to remember a person with their name posted and not just their user-name. Anyways, sorry about that, I am usually pretty good at remembering. Have a great day.

 Amanda--Great job! CONGRATS!!!! I can tell, and you should be, screaming to the world! I bet you are on such a high right now (and not a sugar high..LOL). Keep up the good work. I am very proud of you.

Nyla---6

 Shannon---Glad you are doing better now. Not sure which tape that is, I will have to google. Obviously it has you pepped up, great! Most everyone drops more weight in the first month or so, then it slows down to a smaller amoun. But as long as it is still coming off, yippy! Slow and steady wins the race...right?!! I am rooting for you to drop that 2 lbs this week. The big 20 was a big goal for me too...I was so excited! Keep up the good work and let us know how the weigh in goes. What day do you weigh in on? Talk to ya soon, have a great day!

 YAY! I made it through a weekend with no bed time snacking. Friday when we headed to bed and my other half headed to the kitchen and yelled out to me if I wanted a glass of milk (which would be needed to eat the fresh cookies he had in his hand).... I said NO thank you! He was shcoked... He took a moment... Lifted the cookies and with this sad pathic puppy dog look said 'but you cant have cookies without milk'... And I was able to say that I wasnt going to have any cookies either.... Talk about the shocked look on his face!

While he ate his night time snack I made myself comfy and was asleep before he even finished. In the morning I got up and did my 30 mins on my treadmill and my weight work out and I felt great! I was so proud of myself. I spent my day cleaning the house with this new found energy I have. Saturday night I was even good and Sunday even better. I have been waking up early every morning and getting in my workouts before the house is awake and I have cut my snacking down and when I just have to have something I keep in something healthy. I am hoping this week for my weight in I can see another pound or so lost... Its baby steps, but at least this way it is going in the right direction!

Well its Monday... So happy Monday everyone! Hope  you all have a great week!

 Yippy!!! So proud of you for passing on the "bed time snack"....great job. I myself cant say the same. Although it was not having to say no to someone else it was saying no to me. Well, I didn't! My monthly has me craving brownies....and everything else! The funny thing is, I went to store and controlled myself (although I pushed a cart with cookies for about 20min!) Then later almost went back to store to get them...ugghhhh! So I had made it and was ok with it and then I had to pick up my kids (2 of them) from a b-day party....it was late and I finally told them that I was coming to get them. So I did and wouldnt you know they both get in the car with a plate of "CAKE"....2 different kinds. Said one was for dad and the two of them (ice cream cake) and the other was for me and their sister (some kind of bunt cake with pecans ontop and like a cream cheese icing drizzled on it) OMG....well I had to eat it...had to! Oh well, watcha gonna do. The sun came up the next day and I was off to a good start. Cant dwell on the past, right? SO I had grapefruit and cottage cheese for breakfast and moved ahead...not cake, but oh well! LOL

Anyways, hope you have a great day too....talk to ya soon!

Very proud of you!!!!!!

 Thanks Nyla. That same night my friend was trying to sabotage my good eating habits which really disapponted me BUT of course NO WAY not me ! It was just she was on the track with me BUT she has fallen off and her additude it is really negative and she is trying to take me with her so I think it may be best that I give her space ? What do think ? Ohhh Did I tell you I lost 6 inches too !!!  Amanda

Thank you for the support and we cant dwell on the past and our weak moments. We just need to suck it in... Tell ourselves it happens and get right back to living healthy. I am the only person in my family that has a weight issues all of my life, I was the chunky kid that was always on a diet. My mom is a perfect size 7 and my lil sis is a size 2. Anyways I havent seen my mom in a few months, I kinda dread the whole weight lecutre I have to go through every time I see her... Anyways this time when we met she actually said that I had lost a good amount of weight ( I think the last time she saw me I was around 280), but keeping with her true fashion... She finsihed the sentence by saying that I still have a considerable amount to loss. I got home and told my boyfriend and we were both confused on how I should take it... I just laughed and looked at the positive side of her noticing I had lost some weight... And ignored her other comment. lol.

Anyhoo, I just had to stop by and say hello and thanks. Hope everyone has a great day!

 Amanda--You are so welcome! Keep up the good work because you are gonna show everyone that you can do this! I just hate it when someone tries to sabotage what you are doing. I am so proud of you for holding your own and staying focused. This is all about 'you' and what 'you' want to do. So definately dont let anyone take you down with them. She just probably does not want to look as though she was the only one to fall. Hey, I am sure she may be a good friend and all, but maybe you should give her some space because you need to be able to focus on what you are doing right now. Then maybe later on when you know for sure you can handle it and she realizes what she was doing, then you could explain to her that this is really important to you and if she was truely your friend she would support you 110%. Even if she does not want to do it (diet), dont try to make it harder for you, because that is just not fair. I would tell her that way maybe she will understand, and if she doesnt....well ya got plenty of friends here and we will ALWAYS understand and be in your corner. No matter what!!!

Oh and I think I may have some ggod news for you, I meant to post it yesterday, but got busy. Ok, no you had not told me about the 6 inch loss, but the funny thing is just yesterday I was poking around the post and found where you had asked someone if this was how you figured your inches lost (on another thread), and I actually printed out that post, and was gonna write to you later about it....figure it again, you may have some even better news!!!! I actually got 8 yes 8 inches lost when I figured it! I have never really done much of the figuring out of that, I mean I do measure from time to time. But I just write it down, and never really figure it out. But I think you did not figure the 1/2 inch on each arm and each calf...total of 2 more inches. Great Job! Hey, if I am wrong, then sorry, but thought this might make you even more excited....8 inches! Awesome! Shoot, even if it is 6....way awesome too! You are kicking butt. And remember that. I will pop on later. So let me know if you refigured it. Maybe I did wrong, not sure. But it was funny that I did that yesterday and you mention it today!!! Weird!!! Great minds think alike, we must have ESP (or as hubby and I say...ESPN!!!) LOL
