Hi Tara! (that is so bizzare because I've never known another Tara!)

anyway, I did adjust my eating habits a week prior to taking Alli. It only suggests a few days, but I couldn't start taking it due to a camping trip, so I figured I'd just start the eating plan, and start the Alli a week later.


So I need help. PMS has got a hold on me. I want to EAT. Especially those 100 calorie pack Fudge Shoppe Cookies......

I just jumped right in, I was a little nervous, but I was okay. I also started on a day I would be home, just in case, lol!

OMG, PMS is killing me!!!!

I have learned that I can not buy large containers of ice cream, low fat or not, I will eat WAY too much!!

Sunday night I ate a lot of ice cream, it was low fat, but it was bad, I honestly don't even know how many servings it was. I don't think it was as bad as I think it was because I only had a little bit of oil in the toilet, but I did have a belly ache.

I made some vitamuffins, chocolate ones, and I've been eating those instead, they only have 100 calories and 1.5 grams of fat, so better than the damn ice cream.

i'm starting to get jealous of your oil. WTF?! There is something seriously wrong with me. But why the hell don't I see anything different?! If anything, I poop less now. Not that you care, but I just don't get it.

I had an oil incident today! It freaked me out becuase all I had eaten was 1 cup of fiber one cereal with 1 cup of lf milk, banana and blueberries. I had 1 tsp of pb just to throw some fat in there. If i calculate right that's still only 8 grams of fat.

 

Thankfully I was home. I was a little freaked out. I know this is TMI but I had to tell someone and it's sure not gonna be FI who just got back from being out of town.

 

What do you guys think- too much fiber?

ROFL!!! That's so funny, you're jealous of my oil!!

In the beginning I felt like I pooped a lot, almost like after every meal I had to poop. But now, as with every time I diet, I'm starting to get more constipated feeling. I hate that!! God it's hard enough to lose weight without having crap stuck inside of you!!

I have this tea that I drink when I need to go and can't, I drank some sunday night and umm lets just say I was in the bathroom a lot yesterday between the tea and too much ice cream!

Tara, have you tried eating like 20 grams in one meal? I bet that would give you some little drops of oil, but not too much.

When I eat under the recommended fat I don't have oil either, just to make you feel better. It's only when I eat right up to the limit,or a little over.

what time did you eat the fiber, what time did you get the oil incident, and what was your meal previous to the fiber cereal?

I ate the fiber cereal at 8:30 and the oil happened at around 11. The night before for dinner I had left over Grilled Halibut and veggies (the only thing I can think of is too much olive oil?) that was around 7:30 pm.

Thanks Dr. Maura! :)

Jill, OMG. "It's hard enought to lose it with out having all that crap stuck in you." I am dying over here! I know EXACTLY what you mean. Even the other day FI says "well it would probably help if you ever pooped!" in regards to the scale!

 

What's the tea you're drinking?

 

I'm going to stop testing it, and just wait and see how things pan out. It's only been a week and a half. I would think there'd be some adjustment time. Like maybe my body is actually using the food I eat, and thus less to get rid of?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
