"i started taking this medicine 03/08/10 at 215lbs..today is 04/14/10 and i am at 195lbs! total loss of 20lbs in a little over a month.  i have been watching my calorie intake around  1000-1200 a day...and exercise at least 4-5 times a week (30-45 minutes each workout). during easter i ate easter dinner with the family and believe in having what i call my &quot;cheat day&quot; once a week.  i avoid fast food @ all cost excluding subway and wendy&#039;s where i can eat delicious low fat/low calorie food. one of my biggest weaknesses is sweet tea...i have switched from regular sugar to splenda and i have adjusted well to the change. this medicine works, it helps me keep focused on my goal..30-40 more lbs to go!"
