Reason: to add more to the post.
Have you ever been on dietsinreview.com? Alli is one of the pills they review. A lot of people seem to love it, but if you go over the fat your allowed you'll get a greasy orange discharge from your bum.
I'll admit, reading about men saying they had to wear maxi pads because of this made me laugh.
I'm sure if your taking it you already know about this though. Best of luck!
I did alli before and it was good. Only reason i stopped taking it was because i had gone on vacation and got off it bc i didn't wanna risk anything with eating out all the time. The good thing about alli is that it scares you from eating anything over 15grams of fat in a meal. The con is that i didnt really learn anything from it...

Hi Asheekakes!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with a realistic mini-goal - how smart to take it a goal at a time - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs. The 20 Somethings forum might be of interest as well.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
MG for Valentines Day
Theres tons of great tips and goal stories for motivation. Best of luck!
