I decided last night on a complete whim/spending money spree that I was going to try Alli. I don't even know if I qualify to do it because I think you have to be overweight, but I decided to buy it and try it anyhow. I just feel like I needed something else. I don't know, maybe I even just wanted to switch things up. I get bored pretty easily. Has anyone on here tried Alli? I'm curious to know your thoughts on it. I will log my experience with it as well. Today is Day 1 and I took it with breakfast. I have a 20 day supply and hope to make it through the next 20 days with no binging!

I think it just make you have runny bowel movements because it's getting rid of some of the fat you eat. I tried it for about a month and didn't see a difference. I believe it was because I was already eating less fat in my diet.

Hi Julie, Yes I've heard similar things about the bowel movements and my diet is pretty low in fat as well. Well hopefully it will clean out some of the extra fat then! Hehehe!

I saw this in a medical magazine at the doctor's office.....
Alli (pronounced al-EYE) went on sale for the first time about a week ago — a stronger prescription form, Xenical, has been available since 1999 — and its promotional material alone makes for strong medicine: The drug, which helps people lose small amounts of weight, can cause oily discharges, uncontrolled bowel movements, and gas if you eat too much fat.
Its marketing effort makes an impression by telling users to wear dark pants and carry extra clothes in case they soil themselves.
"Well, that sounds attractive, doesn't it?" Jay Leno cracked on "The Tonight Show." "You lost a couple of pounds, and you're on a date with that special girl. 'Excuse me while I change my pants.' "
NBC's Conan O'Brien also spoke up to pooh-pooh Alli, suggesting that "the drug comes in three forms: pills, capsules and chimichangas."
Even the serious Boston-based Prescription Access Litigation Project, which often sues drug companies, got gleeful. It gave the drug's maker, GlaxoSmithKline its "With Allies Like This, Who Needs Enemas?" Award for Irresponsibly Selling a Formerly Prescription-Only Weight Loss Drug Over-the-Counter.
I thought it was funny...On the plus side I also heard if you eat a low-fat diet no problems occur.

Let me know if it does anything for you. I actually threw mine in the trash after a few weeks.

I am going to start over today and actually eat within my points and I'll let you know if I feel like it's making a difference.
