hi,

3 weeks ago yesterday, i stepped on the scale, and it read a whopping 194 pounds. the same i weighed at the end of both of my pregnancies. that, our pictures from our trip to disneyland, and none of my shorts from last summer fitting me, were a huge eye opener! i'm done being fat. last week, even with aunt flo here, i weighed 186. yesterday, i weighed 181!!! i have my weigh in on sundays on purpose, so i stay fairly good over the weekend, and to motivate me for the week to some. i was worried yesterday, because i made cookies on saturday, and had pizza last week!!! but i also exercised alot last week. i'm training for a 5k next month, and a half marathon in august. my hubbies a marathon addict, and i've love to finish hand in hand with him one day. anyways, i'm just really excited and i wanted to share that. alli really does help. i've had no treatment effects at all. i've been eating whatever i want, just not so much of it! good luck to everyone else!

Ann, that is fabulous.  You certainly sound determined enough.  Keep it up and you'll soon be running side by side with your honey in those marathons.

Ann that is great!  I hope to run a 5K one day. I was curious to know if you follow the Alli eating plan, your own or something else.  That seems to be my hardest part. There are so many "diets" out there and I just am overwhelmed by the information out there. There are many successful people losing with Alli that I just wanted to know what eating plan they have incorporated. I do understand it is a lifestyle change and I am willing to do that...I just don't know which is the best eating plan out there.

hi, thanks. i love signing up for races. it keeps me motivated. i haven't followed the alli meal plan. i just cook i have little kids and a skinny husband, so i cook normal for them, and i just use a little plate, and eat a small portion. i've even had pizza and cookies, and no treatment effects. i've always taken alli with my meals. the recipes here just don't work for me, their not very kid friendly, and have expensive, hard to find ingredients. i know alot of people are using frozen meals, but i love to cook, i hate frozen meals, and i can't afford to buy me a frozen meal on top of a meal for my family. hope this helps! good luck to you!
