Hotpinkgirl - I could see where you can become dependent psycologically to Alli. My friend was taking it but she continued to eat a really crappy diet. I have been really careful to stay within my caloric boundaries. My weight loss is painfully slow (about 1/2 a pound a week) so any extra boost helps. One thing though, like you said I need to drink more water. That's the hard part, I hate drinking water!!!

I like taking alli because it doesn't mess with your head....meaning there is no caffine or any other stimulant. It just works in your intestines and it does have a way of keeping you on track because you don't want to deal with the "treatment effects".

Wow! That is nice weight loss.......I hit a plateau and Alli has seemed to break that. But my weight loss is painfully slow.....about half a pound a week.

I received the phase 2 product yesterday and am going to incorporate it into my regime. We'll see what happens.

By the way I followed your thread on another forum where the girl wrote out what her dietician told her............it seemed everyone was attacking you for what you said. I don't think they were getting what you were saying. Eating more is not going to increase your metabolic rate it will just help control satisfaction. I think eating 6 meals a day would lead to a higher chance of over eating.

Anyway......for what it is worth I agree with you!

Hi All!

This week I weighed in at 234.8! So I lost a little more than half a pound. At this point I celebrate any weight loss!!

Danibell - I think you missed my weigh in last week :)~ it was 235.4

Hi All! Happy New Years!!!

Today I weighed in at 235.4.....so I am finally starting to lose weight again!!!

HI All!

I have been having a horrible time trying to stick to my diet..........I can't wait for the new year to start so I can get back to normality. I unfortunaltey think I have gained another pound or two but I am waiting for weigh in to know for sure.....how is everyone else doing? Any interesting events planned for new years eve?

Hi All!!!

I weighed myself this morning and somehow managed to gain a pound. Last week I was 234 and now I am 235..........I am very frustrated! I am eating within my calorie limits and doing what I can as far as exercise goes.

I am just going to keep up with what I am doing and try not to get too frustrated!

Kirsten - I think a weekly weigh in is a great idea! If others feel comfortable we could tell eachother what our weight is now and what our goal is.

I currently weigh 234 and would like to get down to 150. I am sure with all the support from this website and this particular forum I could really reach my goal.

I too am glad that Kirsten started this forum.......it's really exciting meeting new people who are in the same boat.....you don't feel as lonely :(.....

So let's keep it up!!

I'm too a bit bummed.......I've cut back on calories and increased exercise and have gained 4 pounds

I am re-evaluating my diet using CC's analysis.....I think I am eating too many carbs. But the carbs are coming from fruits and veggies so I thought I was in the clear. I am going to increase my protein and see if that works.
