Speak up -- a new weight loss/alli/body image filter
Nobody has really commented when I've talked about my weight loss efforts or body image issues, which leads me to believe that some may not want to hear about it. If you don't, please leave a comment and I'll filter you out of those posts.
I bought the alli at Walmart yesterday and will start taking them on Saturday.

What are you doing as far as working out? I've been walking 1.5 miles in about 25 minutes on my lunch break at work and going to Curves 3X/week. I keep saying that I'm going to add an extra 1/2 hour of cardio on the days I don't go to Curves (with a day of rest in there somewhere), but I haven't gotten motivated enough to do it yet...

i'm walking with a friend for an hour a day and i started back on these tapes i've used successfully in the past, "Power 90" from Beach Body. i got them through some infomercial yyyears ago now. they rock. i've been eating red meat once a month only and have changed my portion sizes making the tuna or chicken the tiniest portion and salads, veggies and fruit the largest portions.
...but i have a crazy sweet tooth and i'm not doing well on that count! grrr. i go back and forth with the motivation over all.

Wow, I am in awe of your exercise regimen! Through our suck-ass cable company, we get FitTV (Exercise on Demand) for free, and I STILL haven't been able to motivate myself to get crackin'.
I'll see your sweet tooth and raise you a peanut butter addiction. The combination, while tasty, does nothing to remove the pouch on my stomach. :(

i get FitTV too, but i often turn it on, start a workout and get ...dis...tracted. although i HAVE enjoyed a few Namaste Yoga sessions. i like my own yoga dvds better, so i hardly do the tv thang.
i sometimes look at my body and think, oh, cool, this is different. but i'm in awe of the belly pouch! it's so post-pregnancy. one day, i was wearing this short black cotton shift and i decided to pretend i was preggers. *snort* it was fun! and i think i DO look like around month 4! *giggle* ...yeah, i'm workin' on the abs, but like i say, i have NO POWERS OR MOTIVATION!! GRRR.
maybe i DO need a support system.

Actually, I'm not doing too badly. I was GOING to ban peanut butter from the house until I get through the alli cycle, but I have been able to eat a small amount for snacks (on an apple or banana) or breakfast (on a whole wheat English muffine, with sugar-free preserves...mmmmm). I *so* can't wait for Peter Pan peanut butter to come back -- that was my favorite brand!
I did finally do an Exercise TV routine -- which was hilarious, because I? Am a klutz. Most of it was traditional aerobics steps, but she threw a mambo dance step into the routine and my feet were all "Wuh?" Good thing it was 9:30 at night and the hub was already asleep.
Yeah, the belly pouch thing. I look about 3 months gone myself. Sometimes I look at my belly and try to remember how it looked 35 lbs. ago. Wow!
