"i started at 199lbs. (barely at the 30 bmi required to take this medication) after 3 months, i&#039;m down to 175 and still going strong. for my height, i should weigh around 160. i&#039;ve had problems with weight loss since i hit my 40s plus it&#039;s hard for me to workout at times due to arthritis. this medication isn&#039;t a cure all but it does help when you are ready for a life change. my insurance does not pay for this yet even with a prior authorization but i&#039;m willing to pay the monthly price."
