Hi ladies, I tried Alli last year when it came out and I must say that it did help me lose weight, I felt great when I lost 10-15lbs in a short period of time. I really watched what I ate bc before starting the pill I read many horror storied and I didnt want to be one those people who shitted their pants at work. If I went a little over the 15g of fat, I would feel the need to go to the bathroom and it would mainly be a lot of gas and/or oily stools (which creeped me out at first bc the oil is orange!!). I should've stayed on them a little longer but I went on a cruise and I'll be damn if I'm not going to eat what I want. LOL.
