Anyone Used Alli?

i need to know too, im 90lbs overweight. At least that how much i gained after my baby.... ive tried lipozene, and acai berry, ect. i want something to work!

only works if you stricktly follow a low fat diet and take it 3 times a day. It is not a majic pill

I started taking it a couple of weeks ago and then got off track and so quit taking it since I wasn't eating correctly and exercising as much. But plan on starting it soon. I took it 3 times per day once at each meal and never had any treatment effects. I changed my eating habits by buying foods that are less fat and calories. I found that some meals were hard to get the recommended amounts of fat in that they set for you and some were easy to go over. Also I went for a few walks and otherwise not much else and lost 3 lbs in about a week and a half and then went out on the weekend and gained it back. :( I think that if you can put your mind to it and stick with it that it will work for you. I plan on giving it another shot and hope it helps me get the first 20 lbs. off then it won't be so hard !

When you go on a diet, or use a diet aid, you are just putting yourself on the gain/loss rollercoaster; frustrating for you, and really hard on your body. In order to maintain a healthy weight, you need to have a healthy lifestyle; this has the added bonus of setting a great example for your kids.
First, drink your water! at least 8 8oz glasses a day. Next, eat your fruits and veggies! 7-8 servings a day, in at least three different colors. Now, eat your whole grains (loaded with fiber, protein, and lots of energy-giving nutrients), 7 servings a day. Cut way back on (or eliminate) meat and dairy. Add beans, lentils, and tofu to your diet. Feel free to ask me any questions. You can also go to your local library and take out any book by Dr. McDougall; there is also a free meal plan with recipes on his website: http://www.drmcdougall.com/free.html

rkoloms ~ are you making money from this book? You keep posting the exact same response to most of the diet and fitness questions. If I'm not mistaken that is against CM's guidelines.

I DO NOT take any pills to lose weight and I have lost 30 lbs and counting.

Here is what I did....

I got a free account on www.my-calorie-counter.com

I started eating smaller portions. For example, I went and bought "cake" plates...you know the small party cake plates. I eat ever meal on those plates. I never allow my food to touch on the plate but give myself a portion of each item that I cooked for my family...I.E. Meat, pasta and veggie. After each meal I "LOG" my calories on the calorie counter website. I ALSO log every step I take, ever time I bend over to pick up my baby, walking to the mail box, cleaning house, sex, cooking, etc. I have learned the key to losing weight is to burn more calories than I eat each day.

By tracking them, I can manage my calorie intake and activity everyday. Like I said in the beginning, I have lost 30 lbs since February 1st.

I am training my body...So I don't have to rely on pills!!!
