When I did this weightloss thing almost three years ago I started using Alli to kickstart my weightloss and to force me to eat right. If anyone wants any more info on why you are FORCED to eat right, just ask. I am happy to share the unpleasant details because in this case I think it is good to "know before you go."
Anyway, I had debated using Alli this time because I was impressed with how quickly the weight seemed to come off. But for various reasons I decided not to use it and just see what I could do on my own. I kept a food journal last time (as I am this time) where I kept track of everything I ate and my weight for the day (yes, I am an obsessive weigher). To my surprise I found that 17 days in I have lost .2 pounds MORE this time than I had lost 17 days in last time, without any help from medicines. Just good old fashioned exercise and diet. For the record, I am down 5.6 pounds since I started this after getting back from camp, and I am down 2.6 since the contest started. I have a way to go, but I sure enjoy seeing results, especially in the beginning.
Yay me! I really am loving this. I feel good, I feel energetic, and I am feeling happier. And I feel like I am eating TONS of food. So while I may have to pass up most cookies and treats, I am still eating foods I like and allowing myself little rewards every once in a while. Here's to continued success! (And getting my money back in 11 more weeks.)

way to go Paige! That is awesome!
That is great! Keep up the good work! And seriously, the treadmill and rower in our garage are always open to you.
You ROCK! The scale is a siren in the bathroom, singing to me, trying to get me to step on every time I go in there, but NO! I'm waiting until tomorrow! I do feel good. I feel great, actually. But I hope I'm not disappointed if the number isn't what I hope it is. :)
WOOHOO! You are inspiring!
