Misty,

You are a great mom to be concerned about your kids that way and I know you will  be here with me to continue to lose.   I am also doing it for my sons age 28 and 29 that I put thru college and have both been married 2 yrs.I hope I am around for grandkids.   I dont regret a minute of being super (hockey) mom and the sacrifices I did for them to be where they are but now its ALLL about finally having the energy and concern to take care of myself  and concentrate on this program and have time with working 50 hrs a wekk to exercise

Well starting my 3rd week on Alli. Started at 274 and this morning 265, 4 more til my first goal.

My grandson keeps me going and he loves to Almo-size, I think by the time I lose 100 pounds it'll be time for a new tape and he'll be ready to up grade. He's 2 right now.

Found a jumprope in my cleaning the other day (I used to jump with my daughter a long time ago, 18 years) so I thought I'd try it out. I was so proud I did 3 jumps, LOL then my knees asked me what I thought I was doinng. Oh well, back in the closet, will try again in another 20 pounds.

                               Thank you for being here....Dannette

Hey Everyone! I am 5'4 currently at 230, I want to get down to at least 140. I am a mom of 3, 2 boys and 1 girl.  When I started I weighed in at 233 so in my first week I've dropped 3lbs. YAY!!! Good luck to everyone!  I think the biggest reason for my loss this week is giving up on so much pop. I allow myself 1 a day instead of the usual 6 or 7 (I love pepsi) and lots of water. Again, Good luck!!

Hello everyone! I really enjoy reading these posts and would love to join your group.  I have tried to post before but can't find my message.  I actually don't remember what message board group I was responding to.  I tried to look it up under my name in search but could not find it.  Anyway, my name is Mary and I joined 9/16. I started taking Alli on the 19th and will weigh in for the first time on this Friday.  My starting weight 244 and I am 5'-10" tall. I have been on Nutri System since March and  I had lost 20 lbs on NS (251) and gained a few pounds back after having knee surgery.  Still recouping and healing from the surgery but I do a lot of walking at work and try to take the stairs as much as possible.  So I hope to lose 94 more pounds. Hopefully I will be able to find my post this time.  Looking forward to hearing from anyone in the group soon.

 1st off I want to wish all you beautiful people GOOD LUCK!

I'm Ginnie 30 years old, living in IL, no kids just cats. I started alli 1 week ago today. My 1st weigh in (this morning) showed amazing results of a 9 pound weight loss. I've been exercising like CRAZY every single day for at least 15-30 minutes & it feels good! I have so much more energy...I mean as soon as I get over the initial morning aches & pains from hauling my fat a** up & down the stairs 30+ times a day lol I've been struggling with my weight since  I was a kid. I just want to be comfortable again in my body. I wanna be able to do physical activities without feeling like I'm gonna die.

My starting weight was 300, my 1st big goal is to weigh 200. I currently weigh 291...

If I can make it to 200, there's no stopping me!

1 pesky pound at a time...Good Luck everybody! 

Hey Ginnnie!

Like you, I have cats.  One of whom wants to be on my chest as I type this.

I just wanted to say good luck to you and congratulations on the amazing loss of nine pounds in one week!  What happened for me is that I GAINED four pounds my first week but have since gone on to lose.  Including those four pounds I started at 272 and am now at 256. 

Other posters, Sher among them, has posted about using mini goals and that is what I am doing.  For me, 250 and then 225.  Getting under 200 will be major for me.  More than major.

Of course you will make it!

Hey A! I appreciate your reply :) I have 4 cats so needless to say I'm always sportin a breathing scarf! They aren't use to me exercising at all, they just stare at me >^,,^< wonderin what the heck I'm doing. Sometimes I'll grab one of the big ones while I'm walking up the stairs...I figure it's gotta burn more calories carrying a 13 pound cat! lol

I totally have small goals that all add up to the big goal. It's gonna take a lot of time & even more effort to get 100 off but I will do it :) I had no idea I'd have such great results so fast...I would have been happy with 2 pounds lost so needless to say when I weighed in this morning I cried! I had a GREAT day, just got back from my 30 minute walk & chowed down some spaghetti squash. I'm so excited it's ridiculous :D

Congrats on your loss as well! 

Hi Ginja

Your post made me laugh, I hear you about hauling_ _ _   _ _ _ around.  This is my first day and first post.  I am right there with you on the weight.  I am really excited about this plan, a friend of mine has been on this program and has had wonderful success......

 Good luck to you,

 Thank you randerson, best of luck to YOU as well!

:D
