Hi, Welcome John and Laura! I'm on day 65 with the Alli plan and I'm down 32 pounds! I started at 255 lbs, I'm 223 now and I'm headed to around 185 lbs. If you really stick with the plan, it works! It gets easy after a few weeks and the food choices and portions become much more automatic. I've never felt more optimistic and I have a lot more energy. I wish you and your wife the best of luck, but you really don't need luck, just percerverance!
Tony
