I have been on Alli, for awhile, and find it is really great help to me.....I started my weight loss on Jan 1st and have lost 52 lbs on my own. I had hit a plato and started to use Alli at the beginning of June and have lost and 16 lbs since. My total goal is 40 more lbs. I now have lost 2 sizes and hope to get into my 16 by next June. Thank you for your support Alli.
