my alli anyone?

[DisneyAprilFool]

Okay, I've been on Alli for about 2 weeks now and I'll admit it...

I ate like poop that first week. I had a lot of stress going on. But you know what? I didn't gain AND I didn't poop my pants! Sooo- not so bad! The worse thing I personally noticed after eating too fatty of a meal is cramps in the morning- those sucked and I HAD to have a BM. TMI, yeah, yeah...

Now, I'm back on the eating track and probably down about 2 pounds- not bad (well, my scale had me down about 4 pounds this morning- but I think that was a bad reading).

I'll keep ya'll updated- maybe I just have an ironclad stomach?

Oh and remember- the people who gave reviews BEFORE Alli came out- I think they were talking about Xenical. I think Alli is about 1/4th the strength of Xenical- so the side effects won't be as harsh on your digestive tract as Xenical was/is.

Xenical is 120mg and Alli is 60mg.

So half the strength- but half the strength can be the difference between a blowout and just a gurgly tummy!

Just noticed your weight loss ticker, is that all from Alli?

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

Oh no- that's from my hard work through exercise and eating right

I am really scared to try Alli but I really want SO BADLY to lose the weight. I just don't want any of the treatment effects. I'm affraid if I start taking it and eat good I'll still have the treatment effects and I really don't want that!!! Does any body else have any more encouraging words for me about Alli? If so, share please!!! I have a membership to curves and am planning on going at least 3 days a week just to get started. maybe more later. Baby steps!! Please help!! Thanks!

After reading all of fellow Dis'ers posts, I believe if you are really eating correctly... You will probably not have treatment effects... You are definately on the rights track already going to curves.

PS.... I am not an Alli user yet..... so I am not 100% sure on the whole side effect business.

Another quick check in. Today I am down 12 pounds since starting on the 18th. Not too shabby. Most of the credit, though, goes to Kimkins. I started on the 18th at 197 & this am I am 185!

WOW 12 pounds in 2 weeks! That's awsome!!! Congrats to you. I just hope that I will have the same luck with alli as you did. I am going to research more about Kimkins. Have you been working out at all? I really HATE working out! but I also understand that anything worth it is never easy. Keep me updated. I'm excited to hear about your progress!

Another Alli user here! I bought it at CVS the first day it came out (plus they had $10.00 in extra care bucks) but I just started taking it this week. Yes I've had the side effects but in a strange way I like them b/c they are a reminder to keep me on the straight and narrow. I am reading labels more carefully and making better food choices. In case of any potential accidents, I've been wearing a pad (sorry TMI for the guys and no I haven't had an accident). So far no dramatic weight loss but I've only been at it a couple of days so I should know more next week. I hope this discussion keeps going so we can really see if Alli works.

I'm just going to say you won't have treatment effects unless you are eating too much fat, I promise.

Wow! You are doing great! I have to add that I'm down a total of 4.5 pounds since I joined Kimkins on the 26th!

I did the same thing, Laurie! I wore a pantyliner, just in case! Good luck to you!

Ok, I 've never heard of Kimkins until yesterday. Now I see it everywhere! It looks like a really good diet!

Now, I started alli last Sat. (6 days ago) and this morning's weigh in was down 8 pounds! Woooo Hooooo!

NO treatment effects whatsoever! It's the fear that keeps me good! (That should be their slogan!!!) I do NOT exceed 15 grams of fat even though on my special alli profile said I could do 19 per meal. Too risky!

I have eating between 1700 and 1800 calories per day. Which is WAY more than I've been doing! My exercise has just been walking. Which I do not a second more than the 30 mins. per day. I am a lady of leisure by nature. I even ate a York Peppermint Patty a few times this week for the reward factor.

I am really trying hard, though. It isn't magic by any stretch of the imagination. I write down every bite. I'm praying my motivation lasts!

 

[eeyore45]

WENDY WTG - I like how you are accountable to you and writing everything down!! I need to do that for me!!

Thanks for all the reports. I read Kimkin and googled and read some more - I cannot do Atkins, or South beach - I have low blood sugar/pressure issues... I'm leaning towards myalli - as soon as I get a grip on counting those fat grams!!

 

[LOVEDISNEYLAND]

Okay girls, I have another question. Do you have to eat low fat a couple days before you start Alli? (To clean out your system) I was just wondering because I had a gift card to the Olive Garden and used it tonight and yea, I know this is not by any means low fat and I will not be able to even think about eating this while on Alli but, I just wanted to use the gift card before I start the Alli program. I ate it tonight and will probably give all left overs to the dogs (can't have it in the house) should I wait or start tomorrow? I am so ready for this!! Hope we can keep this thread going because I think it will help a lot of us to sucessful while taking Alli!

 

[LOVEDISNEYLAND]

God Give Me The Strength To Dump The Rest Of My Dinner From The Olive Garden Plus The 1,000 Grams Of Fat That Comes With It So I Can't Eat More Of It!!! Need Some Encouraging Words Please!!!

How's everyone doing on this? I'm thinking of trying it, but wanted to see after a few weeks how it was working out for those on it. I really need to lose about 20 pounds although I'd like to lost about 25. I'm 5'7" and right now I weigh about 167. Its the most I've ever weighed.

I did WW a couple years before I had my daughter and did great. I lost almost 20 pounds and kept it off until we started trying to get pregnant. Then about two years ago I went through some really traumatic marriage problems and lost about 15 pounds in a matter of weeks. I went from 160 to 145 almost overnight it seemed. Of course I wasn't eating anything much at all. Once life leveled out a little I of course started eating again and slowly over time have gained it back and then a little. The extra stress over the last two years has made my eating habits terrible and contributed to my weight gain some.

I'm having a really hard time getting started. I go buy good things to eat and try to drink water instead of soda and it only lasts a few days and then I'm back to soda and wanting comfort food instead of the salad I had planned on eating. I think I just need a little jumpstart. If I could start losing I think it woudl help motivate me to keep it up.

Thanks for your input. I'm hoping this might be my jumpstart.

I started Alli yesterday. A little gassy today, but nothing like I had worried about. I know not to eat sausage again!! I was down 1 1/2 pounds this morning, so it must be doing something!

For a 1 inch cube of feta cheese, the fat content is 4 grams.
