I am so excited.  I hit my half way point today.  yesterday I went out and wore jeans that for me were my skinny jeans that I have jsut been able to get back into and they were loose on me, they were just hanging off my butt.  You can not believe the feeling it gives you to have loose clothes again.  My work uniforms are hanging off of me and I refuse to bye new ones till I hit 40 lbs.  My husband is going nuts because I keep saying look how loose this is and how loose that is but it is such a good feeling I have to express it. 

Congrats! It is a great feeling! Keep up the great work. :)

Im Sorry, this is alot of info but the 1-800 number is closed today and this is serious!!!  Ive been on alli for 1 week and no side effects till now,  I have not taken Alli today yet and when I  When I went to the bathroom I noticed what looked like red bloodclots floating in the potty and when I whiped it was orange.  Is this normal? Is this the fat or something I should be concerned about??? Please Respond ASAP

I think what your seing is fat being excreted by your body.Its not a TE but just fat.I see it once in awhile.It looks pretty scary.where you over your fat grams in the last few days,this may have caused it or just your system changing.If you go under the search,Its up in the right  at the top.put in orange oily and it should bring up any post with this problem.hope this helps.

Hi Karaheddings,

Linda is right, it sounds like it's just oil that is being excreted. The fat that you eat takes 24 to 72 hours to be excreted. Take a look back over your food records 1 to 3 days ago and see if there is anywhere that you may have consumed extra fat. If there is any chance that this is blood you should speak with your doctor. Pay attention to the color and how long this lasts.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

I would recomend that you call the 800 number, but I can help as much as possible. The orange or red globules you see are fat that Alli has removed from you meal. I have noticed (I am on day #95) that if you eat more fat-foods than you are supposed to this diet will let you know in a big way. I use my diet log-book every meal and that tells me if I am going to have what I call a "OH-NO". Sometimes these fat globules decide to leave your body at the most inopertune times (I hope you get what I mean). I hope this helps and I will be your diet-buddy if you would feel the need to write.
