"last year i had my thyroid removed and in less than a year i went from 130 to 155. i was devastated with the rapid weight gain. 21 days ago i started on belviq and i&#039;m proud to say, i&#039;m down to 142 lbs. i still have 17 lbs to go to be at my goal weight.  this year, i am celebrating a milestone birthday and i really don&#039;t want to feel overweight. thanks to belviq, i think i will meet my goal by 6 months. i no longer have food cravings, or hunger pains. i experienced slight headaches at first and dry mouth, and sleepiness, but it&#039;s gone now. i also get cold easily.  i eat 3 light meals a day and i exercise 3 to 4 times a week."
