Hello all,

Ive been on a low fat diet for two days and yes it has been hard for me. Ive had a bad headache all afternoon. But i know once i get use to it it will be all worth it. Im going to start taking the pills on thursday and im a little nervous about side effects, but excited in the same time hoping that this will work for me.

Im 31 years old and have very high blood pressure and started to take meds for it. I weigh 212 pounds and i have never been this big before so i need to do something ASAP before i continue to gain.  Im hoping that Alli will give me the nudge i need to stay focused to keep this new life style.  I think this message board is such a great idea for people to communicate with one another about what they are going through with Alli. If anyone wants to contact me about starting Alli and we can try this together that would be great.

Thank you!

How long has your friend been on Alli?

Are you taking Alli also?

If so have you had any side effects?

Ive desided to eat  a low fat diet one more day before i start taking the pills ,so tommorrow will be the day. I also walked 5 miles yesterday with my mom and a hour on my treadmill this morrning.. So i hope this will help keep me on track, i need more energy to keep up with my four kids.

Well thanks for your kind words and have a great day!.

Hi,

I am too starting today. Yesterday was my birthday (39) and bought myself Alli as a present. During my lifetime I had lost 100 lbs. on two seperate times. In 1990, after my first birth I was put on diet pills by my doctor. Second was in 2004 I was on Atkins and lost 100 lbs in about a year and a half. I have tried and tried unsucessfully to get back on low carb and stay there. I had gained 40 back. 20 lbs. of it from stop smoking.

My realistic weight loss goal is the 40 lbs.

My biggestest downfall is not exercising enough. So I could use a support buddy.

I alos bought Alli for myself for my birthday, i turned 31 june 15th.I really need to loose weight, because ive gained so much in the last 2 years.I had a small bowl of rice checks with skim milk banna, and blueberries this morrning with my first Alli pill. Im a little nervouus about having side effects, im going to walk around the track at my kids school today while they play kick ball with all of their friends. I need to stay active even if i dont want to, at least 30 min a day. I have a treamill so i have no excuses to not excersise. My big problem is my love of food, So changing my eating habits smallerr portions and low fat is a big dhange for me.. Im excited to try this out so we can do it together if you would like . we cant keep in touch on this message board to keep eachother focused on our goals. CONGRATULATIONS on not smoking that is Awesome. Well have a great first day on Alli, we can do it!!!!!!!

Hi, I started alli today, I'm 5'0,165 #. So yea, got a few pounds I need to lose. I'm going to try.

I have a general idea of what i need to do ,

Chris,

I'll be your exercuse support buddy.  I need the support too.  It seems I can talk myself out of exercising quicker than I can type these 3 sentences!  I find that if I don't exercise in the morning or go straight after work, it won't happen at all that day.  Being accountable to someone should make a difference to both of us.

 good luck!

I went on vacation last week and in the hotel, there was a large mirror facing where I sat most of the time. I couldn't believe how "large" I looked. I have been dieting since Tuesday when we returned and I bought Alli today. How is it working for you now?
