Well, needless to say...i wasnt having any luck with alli. i would try to take it for a few days and then i wouldnt be able to go to the bathroom...i stopped taking it and i am now cheating on my diet and my exercise routine is now failing...i guess i just need a little motivation..i was on a low fat diet for about 3 weeks after i stopped taking alli and lost only 4 pounds...i wouldnt consider myself that overweight , but i just want to lose the last 15-20 lbs of weight that i gained durring my pregnancies... i want to go back on alli, because it scares me into eating right and not cheating on my diet..but i just cant poop....it sounds horrible, i know , but it is really uncomfortable to go days without going, and on top of that i feel like i'm gaining weight...ANyway, i think i am going to try to stick it out and start alli again...any WORDS OF WISDOM..any suggestions would be helpful...thanks to all, vanessa
