"this works!  i took a break, but am taking it again.  i am a 38 yr old female and started at 222 lbs and am 5&#039;7 size 16.  in 6 month time i had lost 32 lbs size 12.  it calmed my cravings, i even stopped drinking wine.  i stopped taking for 4 months gained 10 lbs back...i&#039;ve been back on it for about 2 weeks and have lost 5 to 6 lbs ....the weight gain was my own fault and i stopped taking this over the holidays."
