I'm a super busy mom of 4 boys and I'm trying alli for the first time.  I've tried just about every other weight loss product there is out there (Weight Watchers was my only success story, but that was back in 1997 when I only had 2 kids).  I know how to lose weight, but life gets so crazy busy, I find I use that as my excuse (and it's a pretty good one too, I'm not just whining).  I'm hoping to stay super committed because that's the only way it'll work for me.  We tend to eat quick, and on the run all the time.  Not much preparation/eating time.  My only "me" time is usually at night once everyone is sleeping.  I've even tried talking to my doctor, saw a nutritionist, everything...but I'm only able to stick with it for a limited time.  Any advice on how to combine this program with a super busy, no time for "me" lifestyle would be great.  I know I need to just make the time for me, but it's not always possible every single day.  I know I'm important, but it's hard putting my needs before everyone elses. 

 Hi mom4hockey!

I know about the super busy schedule! I have two boys and baseball season is a nightmare!

I've found keeping microwaveable meals in the freezer is a big help. Also, when cooking, make extra, especially chicken breast. You can make a salad, put in some chicken, add dressing and you have a meal that can be taken with you on the run.

I was able to stick to the plan AND lose weight during baseball season by keeping chicken breast cooked in the fridge.

I was at a ballfield 5 nights a week.

Bring fresh fruit and/or veggies with you to keep you from hitting the concession stand.

Also, get a big insulated mug to bring your water with you. You'd be surprised how much water you'll drink while at a practice or game.

 I to am a busy mom, between work, school, and kids I don't have time for anything. I am starting alli this is my first week. I don't feel like i am off to a very good start, I am suppose to start my alli pills tomorrow. eating on the run is what hurts me and the tempation of what other people are eating. I am staying within my calories by my fat grams are another story. but i am trying..can anyone relate and try to help me through this.
