Made my goal of 135 lbs.  Since it took so long to lose the last 2-3 lbs I think I'm working on my maintenance part of my life.  Working on my running pace, did 4 miles in 42 minutes which is about a 10.5 minute mile.  For 53 years old that isn't too bad.  10 years ago when I ran 10k's I did 10 minute miles but I was also 9,000 feet closer to sea level.

I'm figuring if I keep up with my workouts and watch what I eat I should be ok.  I've worked chocolate back into my diet.  I have priorities.

 in just my first week i have lost 2.3 lbs to me that is major. and just remember it took months even years to put on the weight so it will not just come off in just week also remember slow and steady wins the race against fat

I just started Alli today!  Thanks everyone for sharing such personal information,  it is a true motivator especially since I have been feeling so helpless.  Hopefully I will have the same amazing results you all have and I can finally set a wedding date! :)

Any inspirational or motivational thoughts are appreciated - Best wishes everyone and I hope to post back here in 1 week with some lbs gone!

 I started Alli program on Jan. 4th, 2009.  In 2 weeks, I have lost 9 lbs!!!  I am following low fat, low calorie way of life.  It is good but what makes it better is reading all of your success stories and words of encouragement.  Thank you all!

oh-wow for me its been several months since i posted i moved from nj to savannah ga i'm down to about 325 that's excellent for me i'm jogging at least 3 times a week, 3 miles a day it feels good and basically i'm loving the access to the out doors in january.  i'm glad for me this is a slow process because all the food here is good and i can say no easily, due to the fact that my eating habits have been diffrent for the last three years. so my goal befor summer gets her is to be under 300 lbs. so i will be weighing my self and posting more....good luck to all

 Hey, mz_lady! Good job! I envy you the wintertime outdoor exercise right now. It is negative who-knows-what here and we are having the coldest weather in about 12 years (Chicago area).

In your sig line you wrote a goal to not sweat when running 5 blocks. Did you know that fit people actually sweat more? Their bodies are better able to cool themselves down this way. So you may want to rethink that one! :-)

 I wish I had the same results as you. I am a bit frustrated as a I am not losing as quickly as I thought. I am writing down what I eat and am consistlently eating  well below my target fat and calorie goals. Still I have only lost 2 lbs in about 2 weeks. In the past when I first start a "diet" I usually lose more than that at first.  Still pluggin away though.

 Congrats !!!! Was wondering where you've been!

 Wow, that's terrific.  You really did a super job.  I'm always amazed at how well so many are doing.  I attended a party last night and felt like a celebrity.  Nearly everyone noticed the weight loss and asked how I did it.  Feels great to be able to encourage others to lose. By the way, didn't realize my membership would expire.  Was locked out for a while.   

 I HAVE LOST 8LBS,  TODAY WAS MY FIRST CHECK IN. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY PROGRESS

MANY OF YOU HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS THAT I TOO HOPE TO ACHEIVE.

CONGRATS!
