"i have now lost 13 pounds on belviq in one month! my start weight was 186lbs and now i am 173lbs. i continue to eat normally with no side effects. it is so much fun to be able to control my eating instead of my eating controlling me. i spent a solid year on a low carb diet and only lost 25 lbs until i quit losing and started gaining it back. i was very motivated during that year to lose weight and followed the low carb diet. i know belviq says use with motivated clients but i can assure you i was only slightly motivated...i wanted a miracle pill. belviq is that."
