"i started taking taking q in february of 2015.  when my endocrinologist and i began my plan for this weight lost i was at 350lbs.  i followed all his recommendation and guidelines.  i even joined a gym and started working out 5 dayds a week for 2 hours a day.  cut out the sweets, sugary drinks.  i admit it was hard but like he told me i could have them here and there as a reward for achieving goals i set and reached.  he was right.  i go back to see him this september 2015 and i can&#039;t wait to see his face when i weight in.  i got on my scale and it said i&#039;m now at 297.5lbs.    not only am i&#039;m proud of the work but this medication does work.  i was really skeptical at first and wanted the weight lost surgery. but now i&#039;m so glad i didn&#039;t."
