ALLI
Anyone try the ALLI weight loss pill thats FDA approved? Can anyone tell me how they liked it?
Thanks! No I decided I am not going to get the Alli...I really dont want to be running to the bathroom! Doesnt seem like my cup of tea. lol Thank you for your help. I am going to talk to my finace about joining WW...sounds like the ideal thing to do. Thanks.
I know that you are concerned about your financial situation, however Weight Watchers is only about 40 dollars a month and just to start Alli is somewhere around 55 dollars and after a month it is around 60 dollars a month. That is one reason to join Weight Watchers. Another good reason is that you have support from other individuals who are also struggling to lose weight. So they could offer you some support. Also it can be difficult to take pills and possibly not see results, which may cause you to lose interest fast.I suggest that if you don't feel that you can afford to join right now, then just follow how Dr. Choi is working to lose weight, drink 8 fluid ounces of water and well you know the rest exercise.
I have been overweight all my life. I am 45y/o and struggle daily. I am going to join Weight Watchers this week. I tried alli and did not like the side effects.
Life definitely has its ups and downs, but always take life one day at a time and consider your options before you do anything.

0.15/30 is pretty low. it can go down to 20 but that's low dose.
good luck!
good luck!
Wow! I just had alot to catch up on with reading all this! THANK you all for the replies!
Dr. Choi - Yeah it seems to me that it sounds a little like what Metformin does to me when took it . Constantly runnning to the bathroom. I am no longer on that.
suzi-q - Thanks as well...I know not to skip on lunch...I was told that by my dietitian a while ago. But its sooo hard sometimes because I am constantly with my kids...working around the house...blalbal..I have all the excuses. BUT today...I actually stopped and made a sandwich. lol And dint eat big portions for dinner. My fiance even asked me why I wasnt eating...and I told him its because I am full! Which I was. So I will be working on that.
Chigirl29 - Thanks to you also....Yeah I dont use any other oils but EVOO. Infact I just used a little today. I started to use that spray butter too. Cause I have a habbit of using a little more than I need to with marg on my toast.
About medication....well...I am on Levora-28 birth control right now. I started taking it in December. I have noticed with it I have gained 7lbs!! And boy does it show! Well I see it. UGH I hate it! I am thinking I want to get off of it...but then I am not sure if I should still give it a try or not. I have been on alot of different types of BC pills before and I have never NEVER gained weight. Usually lost....but not this one..or this time.
I told my dr. that since my periods are not like really irregular but slightly off...that I wanted to get back on track because I wanted to have children. So he said that he would put me on a low dose pill. I dont know if this is a low dose or not. I am confused about that.
I had my thyroid checked about a year ago. Well a little over a year and it was off a bit. But apparently nothing to be concerned about. But other than that...my docs say I have "pretty darn good blood" there exact words.
I am hoping that I can do this. Thanks all of you for this help once again! And I will keep yous posted. And I will keep checking in on any advice you all have.

Wow. I just read your bio stuff and you seem like you are crazy busy all the time.
I didn't know you were a founding member either--that is neat.
Anyway--I cannot become too stressed because I experienced a variance in my diagnosis of Major Depression that caused me a lot of concern. I am actually very intelligent and articulate so it still bothers me that I went through the event. However, I am trying to stay on the meds that help, and I am trying to avoid the biggest trigger--negative and prolonged stress.
Thanks for your help/advice.
BTW, my great-grandfather's name was Enoch. I've never heard of anyone else having it--rare name. I rather like it.

it's in the benzodiazepine class which is addictive
yeah, a week in would make me grumpy too
other ways to relax your high strung-ness:
exercise, stop caffiene, prayer, talking to friends (encouraging ones), antidepressants
