Oh my gosh I totally fell off the wagon and I got ran over....well actu;ally I got really sick and haven't been on Alli for 2wks...I am so disappointed...I started again tonight with my supper...I have let myself down so much it makes me sick. What have I done...I can do this ...it is so hard.... I think I want super fast results , but I know I have to have patients with this..I just want to cry and I think I will.  I hope everyone else has better luck than me..but I will not give up.. I will not fail....Kim

Kim ... "WE" can do this ... we WILL do this !!!  The tortoise won the race ... just think of us as turtles :)

I'm with ya ... let's keep in touch ... sound good ?

Yes we can...let's do keep in touch...have a great tomorrow.....

Hi Kim,

I realize how disappointing it can be to slip like this. There is a big difference between slipping and falling down and giving up. These slips can and will happen so do not give up when they do. Now that you are back on track stay focused on three months from now. Keep going through the motions of sticking with your diet and activity goals. In three months you will see a noticeable difference in how you look and feel. The reason to look forward is because you won't see or feel the results right away and that can be discouraging. This really does work so trust me for now until you see it for yourself.

How does that sound?

Hey Kim hon, listen to Betty!! She is always right!! Our guru at that!! Hey, it does get easier and just the increased energy will be a boost!! I have been on Alli since 7/18/07 and have had my falls, just remember to get back on track!! I have lost the weight very slowly but have enjoyed every minute of the journey!! Still have some more pounds to lose but I know that I will get to my goal, when is not the problem, staying healthy is my main concern!! It is not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up that counts!!  stay in touch!!

Honey, we all have our weak moments.  If you don't believe it just read the message boards.  Don't look back to where you've been..Look forward to where you're going.  We are all in this together.  And together we will succeed.

Loved your post, Liz!! look ahead, never look back, except to learn that is!!

Don't give up by no means! I have been dieting all my life...in 2004 I lost 100 lbs after my blood sugars became elevated. I went from 275 to 175! Now I let myself go again and I am currently 236! Talk about feeling like you want to die! I told myself I would never let myself get that high again but here I am. This time I am trying alli....I have just started 4 days ago and actually see a difference already! Or maybe I am imaging it, anyway I plan to stick to this till the weight comes off. My sons wedding is in September and I plan to look good! Don't give up you can do it! Christina

Just checking in on you...how are you doing??? I am ok...these posts sure do help..it is so nice to see you are not alone...being alone can be a sad place....I am so glad the weather is getting better so I can walk outside...we have had so much snow this year in Kansas...now that is Spring break here comes the rain...oh well I guess it can't be perfect...what kind of exercise do you do? I like to walk and I do some strength training with my daughters hand weights...I hope you are doing great...please keep in touch Mrs.Buckeye...

Kim

Hi Kim,

You are very welcome! We all need support to help pull us through when things get tough. As long as you are open to the support you can be successful with this. All that you can do is get through each day so set your plan each day and adjust it as you go.

How have things been going?
