Alli
Alli Homepage
Alli is the first weight-loss drug approved by the FDA...
What do you think about it?
Will you try it?
ETA:
I think personally, I will wait a little while, until the general population tries it. There are some major concerns for me, even though it was approved by the FDA. Also, it requires you to completely change your meal-planning, and suggests that you start on your new meal plan before you even start taking it.

I have this feeling that like so many great-sounding drugs, it'll have some terrible side effects that'll take it off the market in a few months. If it's not something that kills someone, it'll at least be embarrassing (frequent and loud gas, etc.) You're wise to wait.

I'm not sold on it. It basically says it HELPS you lose 50% more weight than you would without it. So you need to be making that commitment anyway. Perhaps the pills would be a motivation to do so, I don't know.

If the pills themselves are not motivation to do so, the side effects from NOT following the instructions would be.

I heard on the Today show that the makers even suggest taking an extra pair of pants with you during the day in case you have an accident! 
Hell no I'd never take it!

Olestra wasn't pulled.
Or at least it's still marketed here.

I have a friend on it now. If you eat too much fat, it gives you the shits. I think that's motivation enough!

I LOLed for realz when it suggests that you wear dark pants and bring a change of clothes until you get used to it.
