With the new year starting, many of us have resolutions involving losing weight.

Your fat blogger is one of them.

As I mulled starting to diet, again, I wondered where I should go for help in losing weight.

I've tried Weight Watchers and other diets, but found them hard to stick to.

So, I'm thinking about trying alli, the new, over-the-counter weight-loss drug.

I've considered it before, and even wrote this blog post on the pill, which promises 50 percent more weight loss than dieting alone.

Needless to say, it made me have some concerns about alli and its side effects.

Do any of you know someone who has tried alli?

What do you think I should do?
