I am a 28 year old male and I just started Alli to get some extra pounds off.  I weigh 200lb. 5'8" and want to get down to 175lb.  I don't hear of to many males taking Alli and was wondering if any guys out there have any stories? First day on the pills so I will have to see how it goes! 

Hi Scooperman15,

There are many men who are taking alli. They started their own posts on the personal experiences board. You can use the search command on the upper right corner to find them. There is also a board for men that just began under the myalliplan forums section.

Good luck,

Hey, I am a guy and I started out at 316 about 2 months ago, I am currently down to 298 and am starting to feel a lot better. I lost lost almost 20 pounds in about 8 weeks. :)

Hope this helps.

Wow, that is good progress. If you don't mind my asking what was your diet like? 

Hey scooperman,

I have been on alli for 2 1/2 weeks, i have dropped 17 pounds.  I am following the calorie and fat gram limits very strictly, and have been walking on a treadmill nightly until i have burned at least 300 calories.... it has been very good to shed those pounds so stick with it, and I am sure you will do the same.
