Hi Fellow slimmers,

I am hoping you can find it in your hearts to reply and help me out with some advice before I decide weather Alli is right for me.

I am 24years old, 5ft 9in Tall, BMI 27.1, I weigh 13 stone and my body fat percentage is 29.9%.

I work out 4 days a weeks & drink at least 2 ltrs of water per day.

I am due to get my implant removed from my arm on 16/07/2014 as me and my gp have agreed that this has aided my weight gain.

I am 100% willing to put in the effort to lose the extra weight and become the happy & healthy young woman i used to be HOWEVER because my BMI is below 30 my GP wot perscribe me (120mg) orlistat. I am currently on a working visa in New Zealand so i have to pay for any perscriptions or medications.

Should i invest in over the counter Alli (60mg orlistat)?

is it right for me?

does anyone have any advice at all pleeeaseee?

Yes you can buy oristat over the counter! Speak to the chemist. Good luck

I personally would but at the end of the day it's up to you. I thought your BMI had to be over 30 to get Alli from a chemist? x

Thanks Roberta because i am living in New Zealand at the moment i have spoke to the chemist and it is going to cost $160 (82.10GBP) i dont mind paying the cost if it means it will help me get back down to a heathly weight, along with a good diet. I just want to be sure that it works before spending so much but i guess i wont know unless i try. xx

the pharmacist has said he will perscribe the 60mg orlistat to me, but because i am living in New Zealand it is going to cost $160 i just wanted to know if it was worth the money from people who already tried and tested Orlistat but like i said i guess i wont know until i try it myself. thank you for your advice =) xx
