"i have been on victoza since feb 15 and to date i have lost 41 pounds. i am 57 years old. i did not have a lot of the side effects that the medicine can cause. i try and eat high in protien lower in carbs and sugar. that seems to work for me. i treat myself once a week to ice cream or something of that nature. i still have a lot of pounds to go but i feel so much better, i have fibromyalgia and diabetes. my goal is to get off metformin and manage thru diet and exercise.    much love everyone.....rosie"
