Kels, Carrera, OMGsh I cant even believe it-sounds like we are all in the same boat-What is going on? My honey and I came back from vacation on Tuesday (had a WONDERFUL much needed time) and I was so tired and been working extra long hours, soooo first time i have had a chance to check the board is today....wow ladies we need to motivate each other....maybe we should ask ourselves what it was that attracted us to start alli in the first place? For me it was reading the success stories and knowing

Alicia, Yes I have felt in a rut for the last few days (had a terrible weekend eating wise) but I keep reading these success stories and become inspired! You are doing great, I have only lost 5 pounds and I started Alli on 25 May so you are doing just fine, keep it up!

Kels, I also have a hard time getting enough fat in each meal, this morning I put 1 oz of full flavor mild cheddar cheese (9 grams of fat 110 calories) with my breakfast, I also use nuts to add fat and just recently noticed avacodoes are high in fat,1 TBSP of peanut butter on toast may help you get the fat grams up also.... I completely agree it is so hard to stay under the cal's but hit the fat. Carrena, I also enjoy your posts, they seem upbeat and uplifting, thank you!
