I'm a "middle aged" male who started Alli on February 2, 2008. I was on it for 9 weeks and lost 27 lbs - going from 193 to 166. Since then I've fluctuated from 163 to 170 - today at 168. It is a miracle drug. The bonus was the increased energy. Yes, I work out on an elliptical four or five times a week and I try not to be too stupid about what I eat. But those were pounds I'd tried to lose for 5 years.
I think the success to the program is that the "treatment effects" force you to eat right or else. It's like having a 24 hour nutritionist on staff. If you don't follow the guidelines, you might pay for it, so it's better to just follow the program. And besides, if you don't follow the guidelines, why waste money on the pill? The other reason it worked for me is, as one who loves to eat, I wasn't needing to watch calories and food intake so much, only fat grams. So as long as I ate the right things - low fat - the quantity was not as important.
I never thought I'd try a diet pill but I'm glad I did and I can't recommend it highly enough.
