"i started taking this medicine exactly 8 weeks ago and my beginning weight was 227 lbs. last wednesday i weighed in at 208!! it&#039;s a slow process but i was wearing all sweat pants and long shirts. now i&#039;m comfortable in jeans and a fitted shirt :) i stopped soda the 1st week and weighed in 7 lbs lighter! i eat in moderation and excerise 5-6 days out of the week. biking walking and cardio have been my savior."
