"i am a 29 year old male. i have been overweight pretty much all my life. i started the trial does of qsymia on 1/16/13 weighing 315lbs.  i did not notice any changes at all in my eating or any side effect after the first few days, so i started to take the regular dose.  since that time i have lost about 0.5 to 1 pound a day. today (2/24/13) i weighed in at 286.2lbs.  so almost 30 pounds. i do the elliptical for about 30-35 min a day and i eat about 1500-1800 calories a day.  i know i should eat more, but i am just not that hungry.  no side effects. hope i am not losing the weight too fast..."
