alli tablets for weight loss - your opinions and stories please!?

I started on Alli (orlistat) last thursday. The chemist informed me I would probably only be allowed one month worth as my BMI was only 1 above the cut off point.

I have to say that I was dreading the 'Alli oops' that I had heard about but in fact have had no problems whatsoever and have managed to lose 4.5lb in just 5 days.

However I wondered if this is just a first week stroke of luck - does it slow down after this?

I would love to hear other people's experiences....

    most diets you lose more in the first couple of weeks while your body gets used to it then it slows down

    as for the alli tablets they dont work unless you follow the diet provided with them and you could actually save money by just following the diet and not buying the pills
