SweetOnYou:

On a whim, I checked the scale and Im down 3 pounds! No TE so far. I feel lighter/taller too. :)

Great!  I can't wait until Monday - I feel lighter too, though I'm not sure about the taller part!  :o)

I am glad that I am waiting to start taking the pill.  I had a large salad yesterday that was mostly greens, corn, beans, with 1/4 cup of diced ham, a sm sprinkle of cheese and dressing.  The calories was almost 1000 an fat grams was about 50 a large part from the dressing.  I went out today and got a fat free dressing and will not put any cheese or ham in my salads.

My wahoo for the day is I purchased sz 12 pants.  They may run big but sure felt better than buying the normal 14s. I figured I might as well get the smaller size now since I am commited to get healther!!!

Well I started up again on Tuesday, June 3rd so I'm pretty close, huh? I lost about 30lbs over the past year but have been staying at the same weight (pretty much) after I went to Europe for six weeks. I'm starting back up to finish what I started and to FINALLY reach my GOAL!

Starting Weight (July 2007): 178lbs

Current Weight (June 2008): 148lbs

Goal Weight (December 2008): 118lbs

"Mini-Goal" 4th of July: 135lbs 

Hello Ladies, Well it's almost weigh in time! I'm getting excited! I'm still having trouble meeting the fat grams i'm suppose to have, but again still working on it, I have low fat embedded in my head after all these years of dieting!! Gurtss that should tell me it's time for a change, huh? LOL!! Well hope everyone is doing good!! Have a great weekend, be back later!!

hi group!
I'm back and I finally took my first two pills today at breakfast and lunch.  I haven't had any TE's or unpleasant sensations but I admit I feel as though my body is a "time bomb" despite being careful with my food.
I had two scrambled eggs with low fat ham for breakfast, Subway chicken salad with FF dressing for lunch and a low fat cheese for a snack.  I am planning on fish for dinner and then FF yogurt for dessert. 

I am praying for good results.  Blessings to all!

Well It's check in day and I lost 2 pounds down to 203 from 205!! I'm 50/50 on this one. I was able to lose 2 pounds a week when i did weight watchers so not sure I'm thrilled about the 2 pounds BUT I cant say I did the program completely because I could not reach the calorie and fat grams, which from what i've read is how you get better results! So I will still need to work on that and then maybe will have a better loss!! Can't wait to hear how all of you have done!! Be back later!!

5 pounds for me this week!  Woo hoo!  I know I can't do that every week (wish I could, though).  I'm very excited and encouraged about Alli.  I had only one minor "treatment effect" and I know exactly what went wrong - um, ice cream wasn't the ideal snack choice!  I hope every had a great startup week.

I am starting the pills this morning.  I've been walking/biking/swimming for 2 weeks now (5 days a week for 30 min to an hour).  Prayers appreciated!

Good luck, Nessa!  You're already doing a wonderful job with the exercise - maybe you can push me out the door.....

I had also hoped for better weight loss but I did not follow the diet specifically and therefore stopped the pill for a few days.  I did however drop a pound which is better than nothing at all!!!  Hopefully I won't have any problems this week (my boyfriend is in Vegas so I know I won't be eating like I normally do, I'm a pig around him!)

Im down 8 pounds so far! I been swimming in the pool every day so I hope that counts as exercise!:)

I found out that the scale I had been using, was not working properly.  I actually have lost 6 lbs since I started Alli!  Oops!
