"i&#039;ve been pretty healthy most of my life, had twins natural, torn acl in knee, then after my twins i had my gall bladder out 21 years ago. i am 47 years old and very active. i tried diets here and there but when i had to get total hysterectomy a couple of years ago i just could not stop the weight coming on me. i was so up set at 200 lbs.  it was the final straw i went to my doctor and she put me on phinermen for 6 months i lost 20 lbs but hit a plateau. so she said i should lost more that that!? well then she prescribed belviq and i&#039;ve been on it 2 weeks. i only took 1 a day to see how it made me feel then now on 2 a day like prescription. i loosing weight again. not tons but i feel great. i recommend this to anyone who is need to get thin"
