Good morning, all!

I can't find the group, anybody out there?  How is everyone doing?  My first check in day is approaching (7/13) and I will have been doing the plan for a week as of tomorrow.  I do feel better about myself, but the scale is not giving me wonderful results, yet.  But, I actually don't care.  I feel good about returning to walking (5 out of 7 days this week, 70 - 90 minutes each day), and I am definitely making better choices on food consistently, instead of sporadically.  Chipping away at 50+ pounds of granite when you are 55 years old will not yield miraculous results overnight, right?  Have a happy alli-day, everyone!

Hi Susinewman

   My first weigh in is this Wed. I have lost about 3.5 pounds hoping to lose one more pound before my check in date. I amd 5'6 and 42 years old, and  I do understand about chipping away at the pounds. I am exercising  6 days a week.  I wish I had a partner to exercise with.  my diet is gluten free because I have celiac disease.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Design99,

My exercise partner is my Westie, Max...four miles is a bit far for his little legs, but he makes it!  Today marks one week for me on Alli and I weighed the same as I did when I logged on a week ago.  My first actual check-in day is on 7/13...hope the lbs. begin to melt away by then.  Good job on the 3.5.  Keep up the good work!

Susine I lost 5 pounds this week and 5% body fat.  I am so excited. How are you doing?

Design99,

Great job on the 5 lbs!!!!  I posted a 2 lb loss last Friday at my first check-in, 2lbs less of granite to chip off, now!  Had a bad sinus infection so am just getting back to the message boards...did keep up my nutrition log, though.  It's a gloomy, rainy day in Central IL...think I will try and hit the bottom of my ironing basket today and maybe keep it up until school starts up, which is getting closer and closer...

Keep up the great work,

Susi
