Hi, I have been trying to lose weight for months now. I have gone to the doctor and he recommended trying Ali to help jump start me. I eat healthy, exercise regularly and have even tried changing things up so my body doesn't get used to the same routine. I am also on Lexapro and Welbutrin. Has anyone had problems losing weight while on this? Please, any comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Not addressing the Alli (there are several threads on Alli, you can search on it), but I have to say my (and my mother's) experience had me losing TONS of weight while on Lexapro and Wellbutrin. FAST. I wonder if something else isn't going on?

    I was on it for about two weeks and all it did was embarrass me. Basically it makes you go do the #2 repeatedly throughout the day. If you're not careful it stains your underwear, and my stomach was constantly twisting.

    Not worth the trouble for no results.

    I tried Alli and hated it. I could only handle being on it a few days and then I had to stop it because of the side effects. The side effect for me wouldnt have been bad if I stayed at home and NEVER went anywhere. lol I also did weight watchers at the same time as being on Alli, so I never consumed much fat at all (way below what they said you should be able to eat with Alli) and I still got the side effects. It was definitely a waste of my money. But I have heard some people liked it.

    Any medicine that requires you to carry an extra pair of pants around is not the medicine for me. Yes, requires.

    How can that be good for you and your body (and your pants!!!)

    I heard it works at the expense of pooping yourself. I'd rather be fat than have poo ozzing out...

    Oxylite Pro can be contraindicated with anti-depressants. If the OP is going to take a fat burning supplement, I think s/he should stick with his/her doctor recommendations.

    If you have problems with constipation....go for it .....Otherwise...I would ask your doctor for another suggestion....Maybe a healthy cleanse for a couple of days...this jump starts weight loss sometimes....Please check with him/her first tho

    Can I just say for the record, Slimsticks have the same side effects as Alli. Lasted 4 days and actually thought I was going to die. I prob killed off a few ladies in the public toilets also.

    Not good.

    Healthy eating & excercise all the way. Throw in a bit of green tea and you will be away with it.

    I tried ali and it worked for me. But If you already eat low fat diet it says on the container that it won't work as good for you. As far as the pooing you HAVE to eat under your fat each day or you will have those stains. If you do have those stains then you are eating too much fat. I never had a problem with pooping my pants. Just my thoughts.

    I once read an article about Alli and one of the suggestions/warnings was to "wear dark pants to work and bring a change of clothes". Apparently it makes you do nothing but ::ahem:: move your bowels uncontrollably. STAY AWAY! Ask your doc for some more suggestions. I know what works for one person may not work for another but in any case, i am trying Hydroxycut Pro Clinical for women and it seems to be helping, although it's hard to say. I decided to try it just for a month to jumpstart my weight loss and haven't had any problems. i followed the directions very, very carefully and listened to my body if it was telling me it didn't like something! Be careful no matter what you choose. ephedra and such can really wreak havoc on your body so make sure whatever you decide on doesn't have ingredients like that. good luck!

    Ali? No way! He'd kick my *kitten*, even in his current state.

    Alli? No. Never tried it.
