Ladies-

It has been a week since I started taking Alli and it launched on June 14, 2007. I have about 100-120 pounds to lose. My doctor actually recommended Alli.

The side effects were manageable. The first pill I took seemed to make me feel a strong urge to go to the bathroom. After the first pill, things seemed to go back to normal in regards to the urge to go to the bathroom. I did have one day when I didn't go at all and I was a little concerned about it because I am very regular (at least 2 times a day).

I intentionally ate whatever I wanted and only exercised 15 minutes a day. I have lost 4.5 pounds without effort. Now I know it's not a magic pill. I am going to change my eating habits on June 27,2007. This week I am going to eat what I want and exercise for 30 minutes to and hour and see what my results will be.

I think Alli is going to be instrumental in me losing the weight (along with diet and exercise) I have so desperately been trying to lose.

I was watching public access tv with a Dr. of Pharmacy. She said that Alli will aid with lower cholesterol and higher HDL since the fat is being flushed out of the system. Thought that was interesting.



Anyone else have any 1 week results to report?

well congrats my mom has also been battling with her weight and has alot of weight to lose and is going thru alot(menopause, diabetes, and being overweight) she was just thinking about gettin these also..

congrats....im sure once you start eating better you will see more quicker results just make sure that you learn how to eat thats the thing and still exercise...dont rely on the pill as the crutch...because it just will be easier to gain the weight back quicker when you stop taking the pills...

bluediamond0829: Tell your mom that the warning on the Alli label says to consult a doctor first before taking the pills if you have diabetes.
