I started Alli back in October. I quickly lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks and 30 pounds in 3 months. I was so happy! I had so much energy and self esteem! Then I hit the holidays. I didn't survive Christmas. The same old mind games started again where I was telling myself I will start Monday. Next Monday. This Monday. Between Christmas, New Years, and my birthday, I gained 8 pounds back. So I jumped on again. Lost 6 of those pounds in a week. Lost the next 2 the next week. Fell off the wagon again

I started Alli on 10.01.08 and I was scared out of my mind. I had my first pill in my hand and couldn't seem to take it. I called my boyfriend and just started crying. I don't know what I was so scared of, but taking that first pill was a hard step to the new me. I have since then lost 22 pounds and 2 dress sizes. I personally have stuck to the plan as much as possible and have only had one treatment effect. And it wasn't as bad as i was afraid of. As long as you work hard, it doesn't

To be honest, I'm not sure. Thanksgiving is less than a week away. I guess i plan on portion control as my savior. Loading my plate with vegetables and avoiding the candied yams like the plague. :) It's going to be hard. For all of us. You aren't alone. I'm also going to buy myself an new outfit for the holidays and know that I'm buying 2 sizes smaller than what I would have bought 6 weeks ago. It's worth it. You can do it.

I started Alli on October 1st. In just over a month I have lost 16 pounds and 2 dress sizes! Yay! I started at 265 and i have a looooong way to go to my goal weight of 150 pounds, but it was a great month! I can't believe it and I'm so motivated to keep going. I hope you do keep your profile updated because it really helps to see others successes when i'm getting discouraged. Congratulations and Good Luck!

I started Alli on October 1st, 2008. Just a little over a month ago. It has been the most rewarding experience. (I don't normally publish these numbers, haha, but since we are all here for the same reason here goes...) I am 21 years old and 5'3" and at the beginning I weighed 265 pounds. I wasn't happy. I would get sad about my weight, and then eat to suppress it, and then get mad at myself for eating, and around and around. I put my whole heart into alli. As of November 2nd, 2008
