Alli check in week 3

This week I am down that half pound that I gained in week 2, and total I am down 6 pounds in 3 weeks. This week I am really committing myself to counting calories and fat, to make sure I am coming in where I need to be. I think its going slowly for me because 1 - I have not been counting calories and 2 - I have not bee exercising So.. I am changing those factors this week I notice that when I overeat, I see more oil drops in the toilet, lots more, and when I eat sensibly I see much less. Alli says it gets rid of 25% of the fat intake, so if you eat on plan, you will still see the oil, because that's Alli working to get rid of that fat. I am glad that I have not gained this week.. If I can make one new observation, it would be that if you overeat, Alli gets rid of all the fat, but that doesn't help you loose weight. Also, I made an appointment with a new doctor for 1.5 weeks from now, so I can discuss weight mgmt, and getting pregnant, and this doctor is into treating body and mind, so I am excited about going to my appointment. I am looking at a window of 6 months from now for pregnancy. I started at 285 and I am now at 279.. my goal is to get to 260 before I get preggers.

So far I like Alli. Last week on Monday I weighed myself because I was going to start the Alli the next day. Well the lovely scale told me 260 I was ready to cry because damnit I was supposed to be lighter than that! Well as of today....253. It all just came off 7 pounds. Which I'm not jumping for joy or anything yet because I still have 4 more pounds to be back to my lightest. Then when I start getting lower than 249 then I will be getting excited again. But I like Alli alot it is helping me. I've only seen oil once. I'm not getting an intake of 15g I think my highest is 10g of fat with 1200 calories.  This week I am putting in the exercise! So I am hoping by Saturday or next Monday I hit my low again! You keep it up you're doing great! And you're gonna try and be preggers!!! Woohoo! Would it be your first?

Great job you all!  Maybe that's what I need.. an "Alli" to help me fight this war.  I kinda like the name of the stuff.  It lets you know it's a helper...not a fix all. lol. 

Maybe you should try it. Give it a shot. It makes me scared to eat, because I am scared of the effect it will give me. lol. So basically I HAVE to eat right if I take the pill! So I say give it a shot.

Hey Christa, Are you counting your calories? I just started counting yesterday, and it's such a pain

Yessums, 1200. Sometimes less. But I usually never go over 1200

1200... that is not very much ... What does your daily menu look like...

Hello all, Glad to hear everyone is doing well with Alli.  Things are going well for me too, but will have to wait a while to see how much I've lost. About the calories, 1200 is just not enough calories for me, I would be starving all day.  With the exception of Saturdays, I eat 1600-1700 a day.

Breakfast is a South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal Bar which I totaly got a deal on yesterday 3 boxes for 5 bucks! haha. But yes that is my breakfast every morning. Lunch I always have a Lean Cuisine mostly the Panini's I LOVE them. If not a panini then a regular lean cuisine meal. With that not always but sometimes I might have a fat free yogurt from yoplait or dannon. Sometimes I have a snack around 2:30 - 3pm some fruit, string cheese, yogurt. Like today I didn't have a snack which I am hungry but not starving And for dinner, Lean cuisine meal with maybe a salad or extra veggies. Or a south beach diet meal. Then later on if I have some kind of craving i might pop a couplemini rice cake thingys from quaker or some fruit or yogurt. So I have a boring eating habit now but I am content because lean cuisines are good! lol

I'm with you I love the lean cuisines. Candy
