My name is Danielle and I'm 24 years old.  I started the Alli program two weeks ago on October 8, 2009 at a weight of 169 lbs.  Since then, I've lost 11 lbs and I couldn't be more thrilled.  I was a competitive gymnast for 17 years and have been coaching gymnastics for the past 8 years and one year ago I was approximately 130 lbs.  I was laid off about a year ago now and have gained the weight since.  At 4'10" I look considerabely different than I did only one year ago and have been on a very low food budget so buying healthy isn't always easy, however I look forward to continuing success with Alli.  I enjoy reading the posts of others and know that I'm not in this weight loss thing alone.

Thank you for listening,

-Danielle
