    16 Down and 44 to go...

    I started my Alli plan 5 weeks ago and have currently lost 16 pounds. The nutrition log is my life saver. I look forward to recording my meals to track my progress. It keeps me on track. My only down fall is to this diet is "NO" pizza/cheese, but I have yet to let my pizza/cheese cravings take over!!! I eat Lean Cuisine Pizza's to curb my craving, but it is still difficult. I have yet to start exercising and am hoping that the activity log works for me as the nutrition log has...

     Congrats on losing those 16 lbs.  The nutrition log is indeed a very helpful tool, it's the one thing that I use on a daily basis on the myalli.com site.  And I know exactly how you feel about the pizza/cheese thing, my husband lives on pizza, and burgers, and of course so did I.  I also eat the Lean Cuisine Pizza's as well as the Healthy Choice variety.  They are indeed a great way to get that pizza fix and still stay within the calorie and fat gram marks.

    Good luck on your Alli journey, this is a wonderful place to be for support.

    You're doing great so far.  I hope you're able to add exercise to your routine soon because of the enormous benefits you will gain.  Exercise replaces the fat with muscle and tones up your body as well.  You will look so much better and feel so much better if you can manage to add exercise to your schedule.  I agree that the nutrition log is a wonderful tool.  I had no idea what I was eating or how much until I started filling it out.
