    They give you grease farts and loud, explosive greasy poo so I wouldn't recommend them unless you're going to stay home and wear raggedy undies or put on some adult diapers before you leave the house.

    My coworker tried these for 3 months & lost 10lbs but quit b/c of the bowel issues everyone is talking about. She hasn't taken them for 6 months & still has problems w/ uncontollable leakage..  no diapers for me plz!

    I tried them a long time ago and I had horrible nausea, but none of the other unpleasant side effects people reported. I did lose weight but it was just because I felt sick all the time-- I stopped taking them after a couple of weeks.

    Well, hypothyroid runs in the family but I've been tested and I know I don't have it.
    But I do have "very" low iron (i've been on pills for nearly nearly two months for that though, feel a lot better) and I've got low blood pressure too :s

    I know what anemia and low blood pressure feels like. You can do this. I would go with increasing your workout. Do more intense workouts.

    Tried them once. Did experience that lovely side effect everyone keeps mentioning. Will NEVER do that again.

    Worst experience of my life.

    I was afraid to go in public because you literally cannot control when your bowels will release. And it's oily. My friends used to make fun of me, because I'd get up and run to the bathroom while screaming "It's oil time!!"

    Seriously, I do NOT recommend Alli at all!!! It's the worst and has so many terrible side effects!!

    I'm not a diet-pill nay-Sayer, I'm on one right now that was prescribed to me by a doctor.

    But Alli is awful, I tried it for about a week and all these terrible stories about leaking things, it's 100% true! I was even very careful about what i ate!

    I've heard stories about pills wrecking people's bodies, but I'm not even taking them for a fortnight so I hope they don't effect me like that

    The thing is though, i have been on a fairly healthy diet and i'm very active but I haven't lost a pound! I've been on here since april and i've put on nearly ten pounds! D: Everyone i've spoken to about it can't understand why i'm 'not skinny' because apparently i don' eat much and i work hard etc :/
    I do think I eat enough though, I'm rarely less than 1200

    I was hoping the pills might kick start my body or something :s

    Maybe you could review your food/excersize diary. Investing in an HRM would be a benefit.

    The diarrhea pill won't 'kick start' your body. Clean eating, real excersize, and good rest will.

    Good luck! Have fun on vacation!!

    I wonder why they don't have the happy smiley ladies on the ads doing the dash to the toilet to vent some grease...

    I tried these for a little while, but didn't finish the bottle. I was really careful about the amount of fat in each of my meals, so I didn't have any of the leakage issues. However, I think the weight I lost while taking them was more from paying close attention to what I was eating instead of anything the pill was doing.

    I tried them last year. They remove the fat from your food pretty much. If you eat fat is comes out, no matter where you are, it will come out and it's greasy. Looks like the grease in a frying pan when it comes out. You don't know it's coming either. You get a stomach pain and YEP that's it. You just pooped your pants. It stinks too. It takes a couple days to kick in. It's suppose to "teach" you what foods are fatty so you don't eat them. HELLO...you know when you are eating fats. I really think it works b/c you are scared to eat anything with any fat because you WILL **** your pants. The best thing I've found is this website. Count your calories, exercise. You can't lose alot of weight in a few days without harming your body someway. Do it safely.

    Please just eat healthy, take a walk everyday & be kind & natural~
    Any pills or added substances only harm your body.
