    • I had some years ago and I can't remember the name. Drives me nuts b/c they really worked. Metaboslim or something.

    • I use Alli. Lost 10 lbs and now I'm 136 at 5"9'. Jokes aside it works and it changes your life/eating habits.

        • I never eat more than 15 grams of fat at one meal. I've never had the spontaneous "treatment effects" they describe. However I have noticed that even if I don't take a pill with dinner when I go out to a restaurant the effects seem to be cumulative. I can't tolerate a lot of fat and I'll have some cramps the next morning.

            • I'd like to lose another 3-4 lbs so I'll stay on it throught he summer. I've been on it since May. They say it loses effectiveness after 6 months. We originally went on it together because dh had cholesterol of 267. He received reults back today of 217 - so we're very happy! We'll stick it out a little bit more.

                • he lost 12 lbs. He is 5'9" also and weighed 184 - now 172 and his goal is about 165. I'm resonsible for his cholesterol/weight. I've done some crazy cooking(Mexican Night etc) We're reformed.
