&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Alli is great.I started back in July.&amp;nbsp;I like you wondered how am I going to loose weight by eatting all the time. I have learned that I wasn&amp;#39;t eatting enough. My body was hanging on to pounds because it thought it needed them to survive off of. After a few weeks I got use to eatting all 3 meals and drinking my water. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have been on it for 3 months now and have lost 37lbs. I have never had a TE. I never want one so I just eat right. It hasn&amp;#39;t been as hard as many other diets out there. I feel great and I am starting to look better. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; It really works!!!!!! Watch your salt and drink your water. Good Luck!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;

									        A! I appreciate your reply :) I have 4 cats so needless to say I&amp;#39;m always sportin a breathing scarf! They aren&amp;#39;t use to me exercising at all, they just stare at me &amp;gt;^,,^&amp;lt; wonderin what the heck I&amp;#39;m doing. Sometimes I&amp;#39;ll grab one of the big ones while I&amp;#39;m walking up the stairs...I figure it&amp;#39;s gotta burn more calories carrying a 13 pound cat! lol &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I totally have small goals that all add up to the big goal. It&amp;#39;s gonna take a lot of time &amp;amp; even more effort to get 100 off but I will do it :) I had no idea I&amp;#39;d have such great results so fast...I would have been happy with 2 pounds lost so needless to say when I weighed in this morning I cried! I had a GREAT day, just got back from my 30 minute walk &amp;amp; chowed down some spaghetti squash. I&amp;#39;m so excited it&amp;#39;s ridiculous :D &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congrats on your loss as well!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 100 plus Group</title><link>http://community.myalli.com/forums/thread/111607.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:34:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">13f149ff-2b44-4aeb-ad5d-7d4a73bd0f8d:111607</guid><dc:creator>Alinka</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.myalli.com/forums/thread/111607.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.myalli.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=111607</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Ginnnie!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like you, I have cats.&amp;nbsp; One of whom wants to be on my chest as I type this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just wanted to say good luck to you and congratulations on the amazing loss of nine pounds in one week!&amp;nbsp; What happened for me is that I GAINED four&amp;nbsp;pounds my first week but have since gone on to lose.&amp;nbsp; Including those four pounds I started at&amp;nbsp;272 and am now at 256.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other posters,&amp;nbsp;Sher among them, has posted about using mini goals and that is what I am doing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;For me, 250 and then 225.&amp;nbsp; Getting under 200 will be major for me.&amp;nbsp; More than major.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course you will make it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
