Hey can you let me know if Alli really does work? I've been looking for something to take, but haven't been able to find something that really does work. Thanks! -Danielle 

Hey, Danielle :) I just started it on the 22nd and I've already lost a couple of lbs - normally. Usually, when I eat well and I do a little exercise here and there, I may lose like a half a pound or maybe one whole pound, but I lost 2! So far so good. There are some unfortunate "treatment effects" (www.alli.com for more info), but only if you do not stay within your target fat count for a meal. Check out the website and see if alli would work with your schedule/diet choices. Good luck and let me know how you do with it as well. -Connie 

Doesn't it give you diarrhea if you go over your fat grams? That seems like such hard work keeping track of all that. But that's great if it's working for you! How long do you plan on taking it? 

It does! I thought I was doing pretty well with staying within my target fat gram, but apparently not. I'm a little frustrated with this part of alli, but I feel so motivated by the quick results that I'm not close to giving up on it just yet. I'm wearing my size 12 jeans I haven't been able to wear since summer of 07...so I'll be on alli for a while. :) 

That was what I'd heard. But I guess that's what helps with some of the weight loss! But like I said, if it works for you, great! And congrats on fitting into your old jeans! That's the best. You'll be even more excited when you have to buy smaller ones! : )
