Okay so I am starting Phentermine tomorrow and I am hoping that this will help me kick off my body transformation! I am a mom of 4 beautiful children. I have always been on the chunky side while me kids are all pencil thin. I am pretty active (so I wont have a problem in that area) I do Kickboxing at least 2 times a week & Tae Kwon Do 2 times a week. I will be starting up softball in May! After having my 4th baby in January of 07 I found out that I had graves diease. So I had my thyroid killed and have finally gotten my meds regulated! However once I found out about the graves diease my doc put me on beta blockers and another med that made me gain 30 pounds in 1 month (I was still doing the kickboxing and tae kwon do). Needless to say I have had a very difficult time getting my weight down. So I went to the doc today and she prescribed me Phentermine! I am excited and I am thinking about joining weight watchers to help teach me better eating habits. I was wondering if anyone has or knows if the alli program would interfere with the Phentermine? I know your body doesnt absorb the med that is alli but I didnt know if it would be harmful to take both?

I welcome anyone that has advice for me and I look forward to slimming down!

Welcome NKOTB Natalie! The key to Phen is eating right, drinking lots of water and exercise! If you can do those things you will have no problems!

Welcome! As far as I know, I have not heard of Alli interfering with phen. However, if you aren't eating too much fat in your diet, you shouldn't need Alli. That's just my opinion, though.
Good Luck!

make sure you are careful with the side effects of that alli. i thought about doing that before i went on the phen. i was reading it and it was like if you do get too much fat in your diet you can have like leakage from your rear...gross i know. it said some women had to wear like panty liners because it makes you pee more and that would leak out too. also it said to take extra clothing to work because of the oily leakage from your behind. gross. no thanks! i don't want to slip and take a few bites of something with too much fat and have leaking!! also i think it said the gas was awful and i work in a small office and i would be mortified if they just slipped out because for some reason they like leak out or something. i don't know much about it and it probably works great for those who can really be strict but i didn't want to risk those nasty side effects...

Several years ago when I was just introduced to phen, my Dr told me that If I wanted I could take Xenical (now Alli) if I wanted to, however, the side effects were a HUGE turn off, so I opted to not take it. I agree with Band Mamma, you really won't need it. Just take your phen and find a good healthy eating plan that you can stick with and go for it. You'll do just fine

Dont' take Alli... it's a waste of money. If you eat less fat and make better choices, it's the same thing as not absorbing 30%. It's just an excuse to eat more if your body isn't going to absorb it, you know? Plus, I heard if you do eat too much fat, you could have a accident in your pants!! Gross! If you take phen and do WW, you'll be doing just fine. Just make sure you eat at least 1200 cals a day.

Hi all ~ Thanks so much for the welcome comments! I am very excited about my start with Phen! After much reading and such I did decide to take Alli with the Phen. I have had no side effects at all and if anything it has kept me on track with eating less fat! I have lost 6 pounds since starting and I always have to remind myself to eat. Nights are the hardest for me and I have been doing surprisingly well with not binging at night! Also with taking the Alli I have more apt to taking my multi vitamin at night before i go to bed! I have not had this much energy for such a long time!
