    For some reason I was highly confident the OP was going to be scared away from using the Alli, but now I'm not as certain.
  • LEAKY BUTT!

    Just don't wear a thong! If you fart, it will be equivalent to that of sticking your thumb over the end of a hose and turning the water on full blast!

    I took Xenical (RX) when it first came out!! Didnt lose much weight, but had to buy a ton of new underwear. No joke, you had to pitch them!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I took it for maybe a week when I was in my 20's and though it wasn't quite as bad for me, my inner workings were messed up for a very long time after I stopped. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone honestly.

    ETA: I somehow feel I should change my profile pic for this thread. At least until this thread dies down.

    Several people in my office are currently either taking Alli or doing juice 'cleanses' to attempt to shed weight for Christmas. I have taken to using the toilets on the next floor up as the smell and pebbledash poo staining in the ones nearest is disgusting. Not good!

    Whatever happened to healthy diets and exercise? You know what will work better then alli? Find out what your TDEE is, and eat less then it :)

    you know what might be better though? tape.

    Even tape gives way do water pressure. Better use stitches!

    Just come back to this thread and was wondering where all the funny gif's had gone, but this is soooo much funnier!

    what I don't get about he girl sitting on the tub edge is ....is she not wearing any underwear?

    What tub?

    Apparently, the hottub/Alli skit is in violation of the CG (all hail)...

    Also, dirty pants.

    I seriously will never understand why people want to use a product that makes your butt drip grease and makes you *kitten* your pants. I have never once in my life thought - I never *kitten* my pants now that I'm an adult - I think I'll start taking a pill to fix that.

    I lost 40 dollars taking Alli.

    ^This.

    I took it the first month I was here. I was so scared of side affects, that I ate almost zero fat for a month. I lost weight, but it was from the calorie deficit I created. I started doing research, and quickly found out I was being an idiot.

    Exactly my experience!

    Same here. I was beginning to think I was strange or something because my experience was so different from most of the other posters. I tried one bottle - can't remember how much I paid - but didn't notice any significant weight loss that I can attribute to it nor did I have any of the side effects mentioned on here or outlined by alli, which I believe was because I already had very little fat in my diet.
