"hello all, just back from the doctor...lost another 3.2 lbs...started at 266.7 lbs on june 19 and now at 229.0lb. on nov 17. lost total of 37.7 lbs. in 5 months. as you approach your ideal weight you start to lose less and less. when i started, i was barely eating but now back to 3 meals a day but the nice thing about this medicine is that it also teaches you how to eat. i could probably lose more but my goal is 225 lbs ( 4 more pounds ) and then i will stop. also, i followed the dose schedule. made it to 3.0 then went backwards and now at 0.6 again. once i reach my goal, i am stopping as the meds are costing me $450 a month with needles. don&#039;t be discouraged. this stuff works. try and exercise as well and the pounds will melt off.  cheers."
