"i started taking alli once i plateaued after losing about 12lbs and it has kick started my weight loss again.  i am on a daily exercise routine and try to stay very active.  my eating habits are not great but not bad.  with alli if you eat too much fat you will have &quot;side effects&quot;.  with my experience i have had soft stools with oil slicks and oily flatulence which is unpleasant but a motivation to stop me from eating things i shouldn&#039;t be eating.  it acts as a consequence to your stupid choices, which i need.  after a solid week of taking it 3x a day with each meal i have lost 2 lbs this week.  i was stalled for 4 weeks without any loss which is very frustrating!  this works, hands down! 30 lb to go."
