"absolutely impressed by this medication! after having two babies in a row and gained 70 pounds it%u2019s been a struggle to get the weight loss off. i lost weight on my own prior to belviq, but i was stuck in a horrible plateau and could not move. i started belviq at 205lbs september 21, 2014 three weeks so far i am down to 190 total of 15 pounds. so excited! i finally found something that works for me. my side effects lasted for a few days, mild headache, and nausea. now, i just feel great all the time and super motivated to stay on track. my carb cravings are minimal and i am honestly not hungry. food now is just something i need to nourish me not to obsess about. i am still healthy staying within my calorie range my using my fitness pal."
