Thanks for all of your feedback you all. Great stuff.

To the people that have issues with reading yucky poop, oil, sounds, smell,etc. stories, when you read the subject line (ie.,StinkyTreatment effects..., and My body will not stop leaking...), don't open it. This way you won't be exposed to something you don't want to read, and then go on to comment about the subject you don't like. No one forced you to open it, and no one told you to like it. Just like no one tells you what to eat. We eat how we want, when we want to, and we are the ones dealing with the effects. We know the reprecussions, and don't need anyone to tell us "Stop eating the fatty foods etc." You think we don't know? How smart you are. If you have an issue, please take ones like "People on this board are obssesed with talking about poop", up with your local complaint department. We don't care how disgusted you are when you actually DON'T HAVE TO READ IT, JUST KEEP IT MOVING.

Why in the world would anyone spend the money on the pills to just eat any old way you want to.  Even knowing the effects!  It wont work, if you dont take it correctly!  Get a grip on your eating for heavens sake.  But if you enjoy subjecting your family (yuck) to your messes and smells while you seem to be delighting in them, then why not just buy a box of ex-lax, it would be a lot cheaper.  Of course then you cant carry on about all the colors.  LOL

I rather enjoy reading about the experiences of other Alli users.  What I'm getting tired of is the holier-than-thou attitude of some: "Get a grip on your eating" and the like -- wow, is that what we should be doing?  Gee, thanks for that remarkable insight!  I'm sure we've all been floundering around for years, struggling with our weight because we obviously didn't know that THAT'S what we should have been doing all along, but thank heavens that brilliant you decided to bless us with your presence and enlighten us.  It's truly a wonder that you even have to take Alli yourself, being such an expert your fat butt self.  THANKS!

Thank you, I'm guessing it's the super skinnies that are saying this. I can't imagine overweight people being so "smart" and "sensitive" to what we're going through. Boy, I mean, really, just don't open it. We all can read, we know what the directions say we can and can't eat. Wse know how much the bottles cost...we know everything. we also know this is a free message board that we an speak freely on. Once the moderator clears the subject, it's now open for all to see, and for the ones who don't want to see it. I swear.

 I hate to laugh..but reading this really made me laugh out loud..only because..I am guilty as well of cheating one day..I ate ONE piece of kentucky fried chicken..and..WOW...I thought for sure I was going to die. It was painful. My husband started calling me Stinky and Pooper..in a funny way..not mean. I swore I wouldn't do it again..till yesterday we went to a movie and I ate popcorn with butter..and then ...AGAIN..amazing date with the toilet. I have only lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. The first week I lost 5 and second week I lost 3 and NOTHING this past week..We all need to hang in there!! Thanks for the humor..it makes me want to keep going!

  People on this board are obsessed with poop stories, the more sickening, the better.  It really grosses me out to hear in detail about orange blobs and rings and sounds and smells and ruining underwear and clothes and furniture.  STOP over eating and you wont have those stories to share with THOUSANDS of people

I posted this on another topic but it got kind of buried by the time the mods let it show  so it is being posted on this topic since this one is just as disgusting. PEOPLE, STOP EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT IF YOU DONT WANT THE TE'S!!!  Stick with the plan for heavens sake.

Don't worry, I was listening lol.

BrittBritt, I noticed that your posts are in a couple of different places on the board and always criticizing others and making assumptions about what they are eating.  It seems to me and I am sure others may share this sentiment, if you are such an unhappy individual that you have to go spreading misery to others, please find some where else to do it. 

You don't seem like you are on the plan, you seem like a lurker trying to cause discord.  I have not seen a post from you that suggests you are on the plan or following the plan.

Perhaps you are one of thos already thin people threatened by the thought of thousands of other very attractive women becoming thin. 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but like backsides, some are better formed than others!

Thank you........well stated.........I agree.  If you can't be constructive, don't bother us with your opinons.  If you don't like what's being said, don't read it.

I have been taking Alli for nearly two weeks now, and have not had one treatment effect, I question if Alli is working.  I have even felt like I have been a bit constipated since starting Alli.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I have followed the eating guidelines to a "T" and have only lost one pound.  Is that fat not draining from my body as it should be?

I have been taking alli for almost a week now and I have been keeping my fat grams way down and I have been constipated and have had to take fiber drinks like four times so far this week.  I have not got on the scares yet because I do not check in till Sunday.  I use a program called calorieking.com and look up all my food and check the calories and fat grams before eating.  I have been out to eat crab legs (no butter) just steamed.  I had the king crabs.  I have eaten about any thing I want as long as it fits into my calories and fat grams.

I have not had a treatment effect or any grease spots.  Ok I have not been looking because I have a hard time going.  I have high fiber foods and I drink my water.

Remember we all are different and our bodies will react differently.  I try really hard not to have treatment effects.

Tropical1, your message to me didn't even make sense.  My posts arent in different places.  I am very "up" in my posts about the few pounds I'm losing.  I don't need to lose that much but do need to get rid of some before it gets out of hand.  I didnt critize what anyone ate,,,I said "stop eating so much!!"  And its the truth.  If you don't want the TE"S stop eating so much fat!!

You say I dont seem to be on the plan??  You need to re-read my posts since you are so interested in me.  I am no lurker trying to cause discord.  Get a grip. lady.  Read correctly before you post such gibberish.

If you "don't need to lose that much", THAN YOU SHOULDN'T BE TAKING ALLI TO BEGIN WITH!!!  Alli is not for the "skinny" people that want to lose a couple pounds, it is for all of us obese, overweight people that need the help. I am sick of seeing all these people that are allready at a healthy weight taking this pill. I could only wish that I didn't need to lose that much either.

Try needing to lose about 60 lbs......not just a couple.........

RIGHT ON , BB.  It sounds like a bunch of teenyboppers in here getting a crash course in potty-training. What do ya think is gonna happen to your GI tract when you eat mindlessly? All the years of greasy food eating, forcing your intestines to stretch abnormally to contain a massive amount of excrement leaving you with little sphincter tone.(LEAKAGE). Cheaters,why even bother with Alli if you're not gonna follow the program?

I guess I can see both sides of this story!  I'm not in the same situation as some--I don't have a lot to lose (only 25 more lbs.), but still it is hard.  I have struggled with keeping my weight down my entire adult life, and I know that an entire lifestyle change is necessary to do it.  Personally, I am terrified of TE's, (and now more so after reading this post--thanks Jenisis for posting this). And to BrittBritt, you are right--we need to stick to the plan to lose what we want to.  But I'm in my situation because I ate things I shouldn't have eaten.

However, everybody here has a different situation in their life to deal with that has brought them to this place.  Not all of us have willpower--I'm one of them.  Alli is my tool to help me get over it, whether it is physically or mentally.  It has been a great motivator.  Some of us are dealing with abusive backgrounds.  Some of us are dealing with spouses that insist on large home-cooked meals.  Some of us are dealing with "fat genes".  Some of are dealing with health issues that limit digestion or physical exercise.  We all have different personalities.  It's easy for us to say "if you know it's going to cause TE's, then why are you eating it?".  But they/we have our reasons for eating the wrong thing. 

Personally, I am allergic to wheat, and I have some severe reactions when I eat it.  I don't eat any wheat at all because I don't like the reactions I have when I eat it.  However now, KFC is the one thing I will splurge on occasionally (the chicken only).  Except now, I know I will have really bad TE's if I eat it on top of my other problems!

Thanks for all the posts.

Whatever Brit Brit, like people are telling you, if you can't be of possitive support, and have issues with poop stories, don't f'ing open it. I mean yes, it's a free world, and a free boeard, and we do have freedom of speech, but you're crossing the line by telling us " don't eat so much" much like you're a food guru and holier than thou. Like I said, we do what we want, and since we can express how we feel here, we shall. Just don't come complaining once you open a subject you don't like...really. It really sounds to me like YOU need to get a grip, and...we'll make sure to listen to everything you say from now on , because telling us what we should NOT  be doing seems very unheard of, and I MUST write it down. " Stop eating so much", how revolutionary.

Jenisis,  I feel sorry for you.   Good luck to you.
