Can anyone give any advice on ALLI?

I looked into Alli and did quite a bit of research on it.
Ultimately, the trend I saw with the reviews was that it helps, but minimally. I think at best it helps you lose an extra 5 lbs over a YEAR.
With the side effects described by everyone else, I think it's probably not really worth having to buy pads, new undies, or diapers!
If you try it, update us on how it's going.

Good advise similair to what i said,no magic,

I used Alli a couple of years ago & it helped tremendously! I lost 15lbs in 12 weeks & I've never been able to lose more than a couple of pounds no matter how hard I'd try. I never had an "accident" but if you eat too much fat & Alli starts to "work" lol, you'd better go soon! I mean, it won't leak out - at least, I never had that problem but I've read that other people have - but when you feel the pressure to go, you might want to or else you'll end up with stomach pains! I ended up gaining the weight back because I didn't stick with the changes I made - eating better, exercising, etc.

I'm also using Alli this time around as well & it does help. I make a conscious effort NOT to eat more fat than needed but if I do, I'm aware of the consequences. Since I've started MFP & Alli, I've only lost about 5lbs BUT I wasn't as committed at first & I started to get discouraged. Lately, I've adjusted my eating pattern to accommodate the higher metabolism that's come from burning the extra calories, I exercise diligently & take the Alli faithfully, along with other changes I found my inspiration & so far, everything is going great!

I hope everyone does well with whatever you decide to do!
