"i am a 31 yr. old woman and i&#039;m on day 12 of the 14 day starter dose. i&#039;m 5&#039;8&quot; and i started at 304.6lbs. today i weigh 290.4lbs and i have lost 2 inches in my waist. i have high blood pressure and and my left leg is held together by screws so i can only do light to moderate exercise. i&#039;m eating 1700-1800 cal a day and drinking lots and lots of water. in my opinion, qsymia is so far so good and very expensive. you pay for what you get."
