"hello this is a follow up, i posted on here on 1-17-12 while i was at a 44 lbs total weight loss. i did stop taking this medication for a month so i could get full effect again. i started back on it about a week ago. i wanted to note that i did not gain anything back on the month i was off of it. and my eating habits were easy to keep. also as of today i am at 230 lbs. now at a total weight loss of 53 lbs. still loving it."
