Hi Audreylm, Don't get discouraged everyone loses weight differently.  Are you measuring your portions?  One of the first things that I did was get a small kitchen scale that i could keep on the counter and a set of measuring cups and spoons.  I am pretty religious about doing that and it seems to help me.  Also have you started working out yet?  That is important also.  Not only because of the weight loss but because of the endorphines that you get when you do it.  They just help you feel better.  I know that I always feel better when I am working out.

Go ahead and add me to your favorites and I'll be you buddy.  If you click on my picture my profile pops up then you hit add to favorites in right hand corner.

 I also just started alli.  I'm a freshman college student and I'm glad I found this post! Having other college students, that know what I'm going through, as a support group will help me loose all this unwanted weight. I'm looking forward to the new me!

StephanieFayth:

Congradulations! That's great!

How many times do you exercise in a week? Since at my college, and I assume most colleges, a gym membership is free, I was going to try some different aerobics classes like yoga, spinning, etc.  I already know I love yoga, it's very relaxing; spinning on the other hand is super hard core.lol. I'm kinda nervous since alot of people in the class are already in shape. So, I guess my problem is the embarrassment...silly, I know. I'm trying to get some friends to go with me, if not, I'll still go.  I'm trying to have an optimistic outlook on the experience, the one that says "I'm doing this for myself so, who cares." :D 

 Hey

well..i exercise four times a week for 40mins. i think that is great for me.it makes me have more energy. i usaully go to the college gym..alone since i live off campus and have no friends.. :(

 I haven't made many friends either, I just happen to go to a college near my home (I also commute).  A couple of friends from my highschool go there so, I guess I'm lucky for that. I feel like living off campus for me has kept me from having a social life too ,so I'm trying to figure a way to move in (it's just so dern expensive).

 That's so true, Steph.

U have no idea.i feel so alientated in school. People are always in pairs of two's and so on..but i just hang out alone. It's really crazy. I wished i lived on campus but it's so expensive for me too.  I dont even think i can have a date in this present state. i dont go out bcos i dont have a car yet..it makes me wanna cry sometimes..and that's why i wanna look and feel comfortable in my skin if not for anything..

How are your classes coming?..what's ur major? (mine is NUrsing-sophomore)

We are going to lose weight, and when it's all said and done, we'll both feel great about ourselfs!  I don't ever have time to go out and have fun. If I'm not at school, I'm at work, if not there, I'm studying...and so on. I'm a freshman Biology major, music, & education minor.  My main goal is to fit into some of my old pants from when I was a freshman in high school, its crazy how much weight I've gained since then. But, I'm looking forward to loseing it all!

 Will start on Alli tomorrow.....I'm really nervous about not succeeding at another weight loss program.  I'v tried several with no success.  Read your responses to others needing a buddie, sounds liek you have been successful.  Hope you don't mind, I ahve added you as a favorite. Wish me luck....

 Hi everyone, I am not new new but I started Alli in July and it has been about 9 weeks.  So far I have not had much in the way of treatment effect except loose stools evry now and again and an oily discharge when having a bowel movement.  I have been very very good about the fat intake and think that is the main reason that I have been lucky. 

So far I have lost a total of 33 pounds.  Trust me if I can do it anyone can do it. 

Good luck to all and I'll be glad to be your buddy just give the word
