"i started taking it on march 17th and was weighed in at 178lbs. since i am only 5 foot tall you would say i was rather large. i just went for my 3 week check up and have lost 8 pounds. the only side effects have been sleeplessness and dry mouth, which in turn was a good thing. now i drink lots of water and before i didn&#039;t drink any water. this stuff really works. i would recommend it to anyone who has a weight problem."
