HI SmilyFace

I have been on lots of programs.  I have heard so much about alli and had to do something.  It really works.  I found if I record everything good and bad that I eat in my meal plan it helps to stay on track.  Don't get me wrong, I have strayed every now and then, but when I put it in the meal planner it usually is not as bad as I thought.  You can do this and the messageboards help with the support we need.

We all just have to take it one day at a time and we're all human and done of us is perfect.

We're here for ya.

 Gammybird1, I started alli diet today and will start the pills on Sunday.  Are you still loosing weight???  How did you do.??? today for me is 9-24-2009.  I am also a grandma 5 times.  50+. and I would like a buddy also.  Let me know how you are doing, ok, Thanks Dennny

Hi I am a Grandma of 8 year old twin girls.  What a blessing they are.  I too would like a buddy that uses Allli.  My doctor told  me to hold off on taking the capsules until he gets the test results back.  Now I can start taking them again.  My heart is OK which is a good thing!!! I am new to Alli.  I can't seem to work my program, but this week I have really gotten to the point of knowing I need to do this in order to live and keep on enjoying my Grandkids.  I didn't take any pills today, but plan to start them on Friday.

Please contact me and let me know how you are doing.  PS I am a 50+ Grandma also.  Thanks!   Have a Sonshiny Day!

 Hi SmilyFace,  I love your name.  I have always wanted twins and everyone said I was crazy.  Oh well, it didn't happen anyway.  I would like to be your buddy too.  I have 5 grandkids but they live quite a ways away.  I will have my first weigh in on 10-11-09.  I did cheat and peek once. I am really hoping that I can get back in shape.  I also want to live longer and enjoy the grandkids.  Well I  wish you good luck with taking your pills.  I have not had any bad reaction yet.     I love cooking the menu that they provide.  I do change it quite a bit but stay within the guidlines.  Talk to  you later.  I work all weekend so I won't be back on till Sunday after church.  Have a Great Day.  Dennny

Hi:  Nana my grandchildren also call me Nana.  I started two weeks ago and have lost 7lbs.  I live in New Orleans LA where my husband I work for the same company building a floodwall for protection of Hurricans.  So we are working a lot of hours and it is hard to do any exercising when you work 12 hr a day.  We also work 6 days a  week.  I am 55 and of course the change of life is all over me.  I did get a new bike but it has been raining everyday since I got it. I am also determined to lose this weight.  I have tried all kinds of diets i loose a few pounds then just gain it back.  I have had no treatment effects as of yet.  I have been watching my fat intake I do not want to have to change my pants.  What kind of foods have you been eating?  I would like to have a few good ideas so I could change things up and not get tired of the same old thing.  I have ate a lot of fish.  My husband and I like to fish.  It would be nice to have someone to chat with this about.

 I HAVE BEEN ON ALLI FOR TWO MONTH AND I AM GRANDMOTHER AND 50+ TOO AND I WILL BE GLAD TO BE YOUR BUDDY

 Hey Alice,

I'm Nancy.  I just saw your post and I am from NC also. I live in Dallas, just west of Charlotte.  I've just learned how to add people to my favorites.  I am a grandma of two boys (8 & 3). Would love to buddy up with more grandmas and also others from NC.

Angel...I just added you to my favorites.  I'm still learning how to navigate around these message boards.

Good Luck to all !

Nancy

Hi Nancy!

My name is Betty. I have been on the alli plan since late Aug. I was looking on the message board to find someone about my age, etc. who is currently on the program. I am a grandma with 3 grandsons and a sweet granddaughter.-ages 7 to 14.  I finally broke a plateau last week , the day after check-n . So today was surprised when I was down again. Tho my initial goal is to get to 200 #'s, My promise to myself was to lose 50#'s by next Aug. I really hope to beat that. Vacation is next week, so maybe I can check in with you after that.

You should be able to lose that 50 lbs easily before next Aug. I lost 106 lbs since January 1st just by cleaning up my eating habits. I cut out all the fast food & junk food - the weight practically fell off me. Just by eating 200 calorie averaged meals 6 - 8 times a day really did the trick at getting the old fat burner working again.

 Hey Alice

I will be here to support you every step of the way.  Add me to your favorites if you like.  I've kind of been up and down lately.  I hope to get back into the losing side soon.  I think I am eating too many calories and not enough fat.  I'm almost afraid to up my fat intake for fear that I will gain more.

I have two precious grandsons that I babysit.  They keep me pretty busy, especially when school is out and I have both the 8 and 3 yr old all day.

I hope you have a great vacation.  Let me know how you do.

Nancy

 Hey Bettsue

I just posted you and accidently called you Alice.  I'll do better next time.

Have a great vacation!

Nancy

 Hi Betty

Are you back from vacation yet? I hope you had a great time.  It's been a little stressful for me lately because of my aging parents.  My father got out of the hospital recently and now my mother is in the hospital. They are both 83 and their health is declining.  It's hard to make healthy choices eating hospital food!

Good luck with your weight loss

Nancy
