I have used alli in the past and lost 5-10 pounds in around a couple weeks to a month. The worst time of weight gain is when you quit smoking, and again I have gained weight.

When you quit smoking, you no longer substitute meals for smoke breaks, your metabolism goes to crap, and your hunger skyrockets.

I was working out and eating right a month prior to quitting. Dieting and exercising 2 months now, and having quit smoking a month, I have gained 5-10 pounds. I am going to use my friend alli to burn this fat back off for a kick start back into my plan.

Just know, that once I went to hooters and took an alli before. Like the other comments, yes, you do pee your butt. Watch what you eat. If you are going to use alli for a coushion when you cheat on the diet, be prepared. Never try to rip a quiet one, always go to the bathroom, or else you are going to have to go home and shower and change and buy more spray and wash.

Last but not least, as much as I discourage people from going there, I find alli is the cheapest at walmart.

I tried Alli for about five week, I lost 10 lbs, but I started geting severe neck pains, my face was swelling on one side and the last thing my lips swell up likea catfish. I called my doctor he said I was alergic to Orlistat which is a main ingredient in this product. I was advised to discontinue these at once. I have been off it tow weeks and my body id back to normal.

So tired of reading reviews of dieting supplements by people who are 20 years old and/or 150 lbs.
Alli works. For what it’s meant to do. It blocks fat. If you are on a super low fat diet, it will do nothing. If you on a super high fat diet, you’re going to be crapping your guts out. It’s very hard to go both low carb and low fat and have good food. Alli allows you to be a little more reasonable with your diet, and know some of the fat won’t be absorbed. I was 38 years old and 300 lbs. in July. I lost 40 pounds by hitting the gym every morning. But I was stuck at 260. For the past week now I’m doing more cardio, taking a fat burner, and taking Alli, and the weight is dropping fast. I’m down to 250, and I plan to be under 200 by July.

I’m 43 and was about 20 pounds overweight. Ten years ago if I wanted to lose weight all I had to do was change my habits a little bit (eat a little less or exercise a little more) and the weight would come off.

Since I hit 40 it’s been a lot tougher and it’s demoralizing to diet and exercise and see only miniscule results. But with Alli I’ve seen changes, which motivates me to keep going. I’ve been taking Alli, dieting and exercising regularly for about 5 weeks now.

And even though Christmas and New Year fell within that time period (and I seriously overindulged), I’ve lost about 7 and a half pounds! At first I had some bathroom issues (especially if I took the pill with a fatty meal), but they’ve subsided and I don’t have any side effects at this point.

I have been on and off Alli for 10 months now. I started on March 2010, first was tricky because you really need to think about what you put in your mouth..and Alli will change your mind quickly if it was not a semi healthy choice.

I weighed 183 in Dec of 09. Lost 2-3 pounds by March. I incorporated it as a tool not a reason to loose weight. I lost 10+ pounds from then to June… went back on Alli in July, finished by August

Just started taking Alli this Nov knowing this would be a full calorie month (lol) to help me maintain.

I stopped in between to make sure I would continue eating better. I’m not perfect but I eat haddock and healthy meals when I go out to eat and pack a good sandwich and pumpernickle pretzles to snack on.

The key is use it as a tool with moderate exercise. I use the wii fit and do random lunges while making a pot of coffee or something.

I weigh 155 now and kept off my weight with a minor random 3-5 pound fluctuations. Screw the scale – just use it to get an idea.

It’s the clothes that tell you the truth. Good luck! I hope my story helps!!

Alli did nothing for me, I don’t care if is FDA approved. It did not work and I did every thing as I was supposed to do. I did not have any side effects.

I kind of like alli. The only problem is the oily stool. I’m sure many people have experienced this but may be too ashamed to say it. I feel that everyone should know what they are getting into.

Oh and be very careful not to pass gas because if you do, you just might crap on yourself.

I am not a particularly overweight person and bought this product to get some lingering belly fat off of my midsection and actually wish I had some of the side effects that many people on this site and others report. I do not have oily/greasy stools, excess gas, bloating, etc.

The only side effects I have is every time I take a pill my pulse shoots up and my blood pressure rises. This really hit home when I went to a medical appointment and my blood pressure was 138/28 (normally around 116/78). As a result I cannot take the pill 3 times a day and usually only take it once a day to avoid the side effects as much as possible.

It has worked to reduce my weight I just wish I could take it without feeling my pulse in my neck, head, knees, etc!!
