Hello from Temecula!

I started on 6/25- not too impressed yet.  I had lost 75 on my own- gained 10 back over the last 6 months..  I need to lose 20 total- last 10 I gain and ten above that.  I am short- 5'2 so every pound shows up big time!  Anyone else nervous about eating so much fat?  In my head I am trained to eat low fat, low carb- hopefully I won't gain.  GOOD LUCK LADIES!

Hi mari my name is BJ I live in fresno and I just started the diet today.  Yes I know where Kettleman City is, been through there a couple of times. I also have some weight to lose so I wish us both the best of luck. 

 Where are you from in Northern Cali??  I'm in Fort Bragg.

Hi everyone! I'm in Salinas, inland between Monterey and Santa Cruz. I'm in my second week. It's been great so far. Lost 8 lbs my first week with alli and Weight Watchers. Good luck everyone and thanks for starting this link! Michelle

 Hello equipoised,

I am also in San Diego and significantly under 30, I gained a lot of weight about 5 years ago and have not been able to get rid of it. I just started, made my purchase today and will start taking pills in about a week, about 230 now, with an initial goal of 200 and ultimate of 160.  Looking for people to group with.  Anyone similar with similar stats interested??

Hello Cali Girls;

I am from the Fresno area. I started the plan on July 4th and am finding it to be a great motivation factor for me. Last July I had made a commitment to myself to follow a healthy lifestyle and took off just over 25lbs. Recently I back slided, just a little, and decided to give the Alli plan a try. I am working out 6 days a week; 3 days weight lifting and 3 days cardio. Eating  (mostly) healthy meals. My downfall has always been (mindless) snacking. My fridge is full of sugar free jello and pudding. When I get that "gotta have sweet" urge, I add a  spoon fool of fat free cool whip and I am in heaven. Up until Sunday I had not had any treatment effects. My family went to dinner and I guess I finally overdid it. Nothing too terrible, just some oil in the toilet.My check in day is on Thursday and I am actually looking forward to stepping on the scale.

 I have finally realized that when I cheat, weather it is w/ food or skipping a planned work-out, I am only hurting myself (and I deserve better than that!)

Best of luck to all my California sisters-
