Has anyone tried Alli?

My doctor suggested I try Alli or Xenical. I exercise more than anyone I know, yet haven't lost weight in the past. So my doc suggested the Alli or Xenical. I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried it and what kind of results you've had.

Thanks.

Yes I have and no it didn't work. It gave me very oily stools and "the runs". It even says in the book that you should start on a weekend and stay close to the bathroom. I think it actually made me gain a couple lbs just because I didn't change my diet or exercise at all and didn't even maintain.....just popped some bigger numbers out.

If your doctor reccomended it it might work better for you, but as a casual user.....nope, didn't work for me and the embarassment wasn't worth the 60 bucks for the starter kit.

Yikes!!! I started it a few days ago and have lost 2 lbs. No nasty side effects yet. I'm going on a cruise next week so will stop it during the time I'm gone just to make sure.
