Hey Joanne,

My start date will be Monday.  I was making some adjustments to my meal plan and I accidentally deleted a snack #2 for Wednesday. Any ideas on how to retrieve snack #2 for Wednesday.  I decided to try Alli b/c I want to feel better and look great. the id I like the idea that Alli will notify your body when you're off track.  I don't plan to go off track.  Do you have children and a family? How did dinner/lunches fit into your family lifestyle. My kids are 6 & 2 and I don't want to deprive them of anything just because I choose to lose weight?

 HI mtcolli :)

I started at the end of August.. Ive lost about 7lbs this month.. which isnt bad. YOU  CAN DO THIS.. if I can, anyone can.  I am a total carb junkie.. and with Alli, I am never hungry.. It is a great plan. Don't worry about depriving your kids.. I have four boys 15, 13, and 10 year old twins. They LOVE to eat healthy anyway..would rather have a salad than a cheeseburger.. but we dont have salads very often. lol   I mess up too.. but its not horrible. the treatment effects arent fun, but its not terrible. you learn from them..and how your body reacts to certain foods when taking alli. Keep your chin up.. you can do this..WE can do this!!!!!!!!!!! :) Marilyn

 Hi!!

When I've deleted the snack it has a prompt in the same spot to click on to get it back.

I do have children. Our son is 28 & daughter is 26 married with an 8 month old girl. When cooking I use alot of veggies, whole wheat macaroni, get creative with spices. They do not even realize the fat has been lowered!!!  I adjust what I put on my plate. If I make french fries I bake a potato for me.  My husband is terrific when it comes to my cooking. He will try anything.

Hope this helps!!!!

Joanne

 Thanks so much..

It's just that it sounds unnatural to eat fat in order to lose fat. so today i tried to eat 2 slices of wheat toast with peanut butter and a low fat yogurt with special k granola bar. then for lunch a turkey sandwich..for dinner a low fat granola cereal. I think sometimes i dont feel like eating and i feel like am stuffing myself in order to meet my calorie and fat requirements I dont why that is?

can you give some quick to make recipe of some foods..am out of ideas..and as a college student i have more access to candy bars, soda, G2 than veggies and healthy snacks.. :)

 Hi,  I am starting tomorrow and would love to be buddies with you since we both just started.   I am really struggling with my diet so I am hoping alli will help me reach my goal weight of at least 150 but 140 would be my dream.

HI MY NAME IS CAROLINA YESTERDAY WAS MY FIRST DAY TOO IM COMBINING IT WITH DIET AND EXERCISE

IM A MOTHER OF 2 AND MY BODY HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME IM 26 AND MY GOAL IS SIMILAR TO YOURS

I HOPE WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER AND GOOD LUCK ON THIS JOURNEY

I have not started yet. I am a bit afraid of starting due to the possible side effects and when they could occur. Being a teacher a break is not always when it is convenient for you.  I want to lose weight before my husband returns from the desert, but the stress and busy schedule makes it very difficult.  I know excuses, excuses,but I really do want to lose weight.  How do you get past the cravings and hunger?  I would be glad to have a buddy to support and get support.  Maybe this week would be a good time to start.

 Hey Cyndi

I know that feeling..I wanna lose weight but i just cant bring myself to start anything concerning it. I used to be like that till i took matters into my hands. I decided i was not going to let my weight ruin my beautiful persona. I started thinking seriously about how i look and feel last month..then i decided on alli..and now i exercise like a freak (not really) but you get my drift. Exercise is now a better part of my scheudle. I have more energy to do things, climb stairs and what not. the cravings are there, but i substitute all the sweet tooth stuff for low fat or no fat. U can make it, but be prepared to fail at times. I can tell you how many times i felt down and wanted to give up, but i think about my goal and get back on track.

U KIN DO THIS for your hubby's sake!!

 Hello my name is Vickie and I really would like to be your wt. lost buddy.

worth it at the end!! good luck to u and down give up!!! =)

Hello, Audrey here.  I started alli 2 weeks ago, have only lost a pound or two.  Very discouraging.  I'm trying to get the hang of the calorie/fat intakes.  Don't know how to add friends on here, but I'd sure like some support & to be there for someone else as well =D

 Audrey, I've been taking it for 11 days now, and I kind of cheated after a week and wieghed myself.  I had lost 5 lbs. By the time wiegh in day (yesterday) came, I was back up those 5, taking me back where I started.  But my clothes dont feel tight again.  I also started my period today, so there are many things that affect the wieght loss.  So the actual pounds might not matter just yet. Keep going at it, and I'm sure you will start to notice a difference.  I'm pretty discouraged too, but I'm keeping it up.  to add friends, you just click on the person, and their profile will show up. On the right it will say add or somthing to that effect.  Good luck and keep up the great work.

 I to am a teacher! And I'm afraid as well because I can't just leave the room, I have to wait till the bell rings and even then I have 5 mins till the next class starts.

I am surprised there isn't a way to "Private Message" people on this forum.

 Hi!  I stated alli on 9/29 and so far so good.  I would love to be weight loss buddies :) I'm also a college student with a dream weight of 135.  Good luck and I hope you're doing well so far!!
