Hey

Just need a friend to talk to as I go thru this process

Hi Sathom01,

There are lots of great people for you to talk to on here. You can join any of the ongoing threads so read some of those. A new one was just started on the Personal Experiences board for people who started this month. You will find lots of other ones on that board as well.

I am here to help so let me know if you have any questions,

 Hi All -  I'm looking for support and friends too!  I bought Alli last week and plan to take my first pill on Thursday. I'm afraid!  I've been eating a low-fat diet since Sunday to avoid all the TE's I've heard about.  I'm also struggling a bit with the food plan.  I'm having trouble reaching the 1600 calories required and the fats allowed.  I guess it will take some time to get used to it.  It does remind me of WW though.  I'm 52, 180 and would like to loose about 30 lbs.  I do have a question hopefully someone can answer.  If you know you are eating a low-fat meal should you take a pill? Or just take them when you know you're eating more fat than you should?

Hopefully we can all help each other!

 Hi Maryjane,

               I started May 22, 2009 weighing 183. Today, 4 months later, I am 166. It does work!! From what I have read from the experts....anything over 6 grams of total fat..take the pill. In order for it to work you have to have the right combination of fat & calories per meal. Try to get as close to your number as you can.

Good luck!!!!

 Would love a buddy to go thru this with.. somedays I get so frustrated.. I think it would be wonderful to communicate with someone.. :)

Awesome! Hi Marilyn, my name is Kaylea. I started "eating right"  on September 14th. I weighed 193.4 that Monday morning. I weighed 187.4 which isn't too bad considering I forget to take the capsules almost every day when I'm at work!  I can't figure out how to "check-in" on line on my Alli. I'm soo darn frustrated, I really thought the website would be wonderful encouragement for tracking success. Do you know any tricks for posting our weight?  When did you start? I hope you're having as much luck as I am!! Hope to talk soon and thanks for the reply!  Kaylea
