I'm Matt's wife and he turned me on to your blog...love it! His stepmom has been on Alli and it's worked with mixed results kind of like you mentioned. But hey, if a pill can even possibly make you lose weight, it's probably worth a treatment effect. Hi Kate!

It provides the only real negative reinforcement a person who struggles to change their diet can grasp - embarrassment. The fact that it accomplishes that through blocking the fat absorption is just an added byproduct if you ask me. People who don't take it for fear of the side effects (myself included, but that's because I have other health issues that are already an issue there)... well, they're just not ready yet. And that, ultimately, is the success factor in all long term weight loss and lifestyle change - the willingness and mental readiness to change. Hubby's only lost about 7 so far as well in close to a month, but like you -- his eating habits have vastly changed. So I think the success is in that alone.

Which is why I find myself chuckling over people who don't take it but then focus on that one aspect. It's kind of an admission on their part that they <em>couldn't</em> stay within the limits, but rather than admit it they just make fun of people taking Alli. Good luck to you on your progress, too!

I have so far never experienced the "ick factor", I guess since the pill absorbs the fat it can only hold a certain amount of it after that it "leaks". 7 pounds is great and changing your eating habits will get you even further.
