    When posting on these forums, you may not likely get the comments you're looking for. And some come across as rude. But in my opinion, I can take constructive criticism or be open minded enough to accept the comments. I also know that I've never met anyone on here. If I've done my research, I don't need anyone to agree with me. I know I'm doing what's best for me. In saying that, I don't really care what anyone thinks. I don't need validation. I truly don't think most people aren't trying to be ugly. When you post, they're giving their advice or opinion. If it works for you, that's awesome.

    My neighbour recently took it, which was a very short lived experience before she through it in the trash.... And she's a nurse, has zero excuse for falling for this stuff!

    I'll just leave this here, instead of going into detail :explode:

    Hahaha, a Rorschach - someone want to take a stab at this? Lol

    OP- this is a journey and you'll have to figure out what's best and works for you. I, myself, do believe Alli is a marketing gimmick (by taking Alli you *have* to fear fat or there are repercussions), and it definitely isn't an easy way out - if anything I would think it would add unnecessary stess. But your life, your trials & errors. Good luck.

    I was definitely thinking cockroach for the right one, too. The left reminds me of an alien holding out its arms for a hug.

    To the OP: as with most things in life, people have really strong opinions about weight loss and what is the "one true way" to do it. But the truth is, unless a person is doing something harmful, there is no wrong way- so long as it's working. Find what works for you and ignore the naysayers. Concentrate on the people who support you.

    Alli isn't something I would mess with personally (also would be impossible with my way of eating), but if it works for you and your doctor, it is no one else's business!
