HI!!!

Had my gall bladder removed approx. 10 years ago.  Am 49 and wanting to loose 20 with 30 being the ultimate!  Can you explain the "gallbladder thing"?  I have started looking into Alli just today so not sure about any worries I might need to be aware of regarding the gall bladder.  It would be so nice to do this with someone else.  Hope we can?

I'm right there with you.  It is so hard for me to say that I am obese, but the numbers don't lie.  I have been having declining health as my weight goes up.  Each pound I add, the less motivated I am to exercise.  I now have difficulty carrying groceries to my car.  Not only has this affected my health, but it has lowered my self-esteem and self-worth.  I really need support.  I am a 45 year old mother of 2, 5 foot 6 inches tall and I weigh 215lbs.  I have high blood pressure and asthma - probably due to my weight!

 I'm in, too.

 My name is Emma (Pikardiosa) .  I bought my starter pack today,  at Costco ( 150 pills = $65) .

I started on Friday at 211 lbs.  I lost 3 lbs this week changing my diet.  Friday I started Alli - I hope this works.  Will check in next Friday with the results.

Starting at the same weight as you 191. Let me know how your doing with it if possible. Good Luck

Ok here goes in black and white where I really didn't want to see it!!

Wow that was tough to write.

I will be using Seattle Sutton along with this.  I am excited and look forward to doing this and all the support we can give one another!

 I know what you mean about the fast loss being motivation. I started taking alli on the 14th, and today's the 17th. I started off at 219 and now I weigh 214.2. That's almost five lbs in three days!
