"i am classified in the bmi category as obese. i need to lose 90 pounds and since starting belviq in october of 2016,  i have lost 42 pounds.  i have started working out because i know that just losing the weight was not enough, i needed to get my heart going again.  i have no medical issue,  so it is just about getting the weight off for a healthier me.  it took about 3 weeks for my weight to start dropping and it has been slow. there are times where i will lose weight and then i might go a week and lose nothing.  the main thing is not giving up and getting out their and trying. i can&#039;t run a mile yet, but i can walk it.  don&#039;t stop trying and don&#039;t give up on belviq. it really helps."
