Hi, I am 46 years old mom wife and grandmother (all boys), and need to lose about 97lbs. I have tried different diets and always ended up gaining the weight back.  I started alli on April 19th and have lost 8lbs already. I think half of the help is fearing the treatment effects, but I have some health issues that I guess I really need to address now. If anyone out there is interested in conversation or just moral support I would really appreciate it. I feel like I am in the program as an observer because I haven't really figured out how to communicate with anyone. It's taken me over a week just to figure out how to do this.

 I just started the alli program. I have to learn to use this site too.  I have to lose about 50 pounds to prevent medical problems in the future. I would like to be a companion of your's in this Fat Fight we are in....lol. Sometime 's we all need someone that understands the issue's of being overweight.

 I also have to lose at least 50 but would like to lose 95. I would be happy to fight the battle with you.

Hello, 36 and just started to (last week).  Looking to loose 40-50lbs.  Started taking the alli on April 24th and already lost 5lbs.  I also have done other diets and had no success.  Anytime drop a line for support.  Also have to learn the site, not that easy to navigate.

 Hello hwitte I just started on the 19th also. You are correct about the navigating, I am having some difficulty with that myself. Especially with this posting, I seem to forget or take forever to get back to where I posted. I'm sure eventually, like the weight we will have the navigation under control to. Feel free to add me as a friend, nothing is as important as support when trying to lose weight.
