OK SO NOT TOO BAD FOR FIRST WEIGH IN.  DOWN 1.5 LBS.  I'M JUST GOING TO LOOK AT IT AS 1.5 LBS THAT I WILL HOPEFULLY NEVER SEE AGAIN....I'LL CHECK IN AGAIN NEXT SATUREDAY!

Blazer,

Thats great.  Try not to get discouraged....as you are on the program longer it will get easier.  Adding more exercise really helps too.   I have been on Alli since Jan 10th.    I have lost 34 lb to date.   some weeks i didnt lose anything but I stuck with it and I WILL see my goal weight and so can you.  Congrats and Best Wishes

Congrats on the weight loss.  It will get easier as time goes on.  You will be totally amazed as the weeks turn into months, and before you know it you will have reached your goal. 

Good luck and Keep us posted.

Hi Blazer1124,

I think that you had a great first weigh-in. It's hard to look at 1.5 lbs as a lot of weight when you are focusing on how much you have to lose. It can help to set short-term goals. If your first goal was to lose 10 lbs the 1.5 lbs would have a much bigger impact. Does that make sense?

I wish you lots of continued success,

Hi your weight loss is amazing...that's about where i want to be, 145...how long have you been on alli?

thank you all for all the words of encouragement!!!!

I have been on Alli since January 4th, and I started to work out about 2 weeks later.

Unfortunately I fell last night and injured both of my ankle pretty badly, I am not sure if I will be able to work out for a while, lettle alone be able to walk around for a bit.  And can you imagine the first thing out of my mouth after I fell down was Oh man I am not going to be able to work out for a while, it really upset me.

Thanks

Char
