"i went to the doctor on early february 2017.  my blood pressure was through the roof and i was pre-diabetic. after bloodwork he prescribed lisinopril and belviq. i started taking belviq on 2/10/2017 and my starting weight was 194 at 5&#039;2&quot;.  it is 3/2 and now i am 188.  i know it shows it to be slow, however, the slowest part was in the beginning when i guess my body was getting used to the medication.  the first week i did not lose any weight.  as the day passed i was seeing my weight loss started to forward.  now i am losing 1 lb a day.  i am eating sensibly and replacing one or two meals with a raw juice full of vegetables like kale, ginger, green apple, etc.  i am also very tired at night which is helping me get a nice restful sleep."
