Christa, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I bet it feels wonderful to have reached your goal weight, I'm sure the comments will keep coming, as they should! I can't wait to be able to say I've reached mine and with some determination I will some day. I haven't seen my oldest daughter for 5 weeks and I will see her on Friday so I'm anxious to see if she notices the slight difference in my look. She is very supportive for living out of state. Last night we went out to dinner for mussels, I have

Christa, Thanks for your encouragment, it makes me feel better. I certainly wasn't near the point of giving up but you have inspired me to keep working hard. I'm not doing this for anyone but me and I deserve it.

I started the low fat diet last Tuesday and added the Alli on Friday. I have lost 3 pounds so far, 222 down to 219. I have had to TE's at all, I honestly would believe it if someone told me there was nothing in that little blue capsule. I'm wondering if I'm getting enough fat to make it worth taking the Alli. For breakfast I eat Cheerios with fat free milk, right now I'm eating a salad for lunch with fat free dressing and sliced ham (low fat, 120 calories and 1 gram of fat) and an
