Thanks for your reply!  I have not taken Alli but I wanted to make sure just incase anyone had effects with Effexor.  I will go to the store tomorrow and check out the prices of Alli.  It looks like you have had some success!

Thanks for your reply!  I am in the process of coming off Effexor so hopefully this will not be an issue but I wanted to check anyway.  Effexor is a good drug but unfortunately I have gained weight on it.  I hope Alli will be the answer!  Keep your fingers crossed!  I will check out prices of Alli tomorrow..  In the mean time I have to try to figure out how come the discount 10 dollars does not show up or print with my computer system.

Hi Cris, I used to be a "scale addict" :) but I realized that weighing myself every day or every week only discouraged me if the weight didn't go down, so even though we're supposed to weigh in every week on this program, I weigh myself monthly. My next weigh in is tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. My clothes are fitting looser, so thats keeping me going. One of my friends said she actually gained 3 pounds before she started losing weight on the alli program so don't give up!! Keep me posted. take care merc......

Hi everyone I just started taking the pill, on Friday April 25th. I am a short and overweight lady! I have tried WW, so many times I cant even remember the exact count. So I thought long and hard and did my research and decided Alli might be the thing to help! I have completely changed my eating habits, and I feel so much better. Not as tired anymore, have more energy to play with the kids. I want to be healthy for myself but as well as for my family. I have great support from my husband. Good luck to everyone on this journey!

Hi,

 I too am short (5'1) so the weight really shows. I have been on Alli for two week going into my 3rd week. I was much happier with my weigh-in on yesterday. I lost 3 1/2 pounds so I have lost 5 1/2 in two weeks, which is a great start for me. I have a trip to NY planned for the end of May, so my goal is to lose 8-10 more pounds before then. I wish everyone the best of luck!

Hello,

 I wish I could weigh myself every month, but I would have to build up a lot of discipline to not get the urge to step on the scale. Good for you and the best of luck on your weigh lose.

i started off, at 148 my height is 5'1 on the alli, i went all the way 2 136...now im 140 again! so my weight is going back up! n need a new, better eating plan, any suggestions??? anyone???

Hi,

 I think just like any other diet, once you start going back to the way you were eating the weight comes back on. I think if you try and stay away from the foods that are high in fat and get some exercise in then you should be ok. I don't necessarily count my calories day-to-day or write it down, but I do monitor what I eat. I think keeping the journal and writing down what you eat is importnant so that you can look back if you start to gain. I suggest keeping the food journal to know exactly what you ate and where you may have gone wrong will keep you on track.

 Good luck!

Hi Rita,

 This is Tigereye71.  I was doing great taking it slow again got down to about about 205 or 203.  Then my husband's 101 year old great Aunt/2nd grandmother to him had a stroke on the 6th of April and Passed away on the 14th.  Needless to say taking Alli was the furthest from my mind during that week alone and I was only taking one pill a day last week.  So now time to get back on the hose again.

We are all doing fine.  This was just an exstream shock to us.  This women was as sharp as a tac and could keep you current with what's going on in the world. Nothing got by her. She will be greatly missed by us all.

But, I'm doing good.  getting back into the swing of things.  I've got to get back into the exercise portion again.  That has been my biggest weekness since the weight came on.  Funny how when I was young it didn't bother be.

How are you Doing????   Is it working for you? Thanks for being there to talk to .  Let me know how your doing>
