"i started on 9/22/17, at 182 lbs. and today, i weighed in at 173.8lb.  yes, i had all the symptoms that have been expressed, and i am finally at the end of my 4th week, and feel so much better.  drink lots of water (i only drink water now), take a pepcid in the morning before you eat to help with the nausea when you take the medicine.  don&#039;t drink a lot of coffee if you are a coffee drinker, that will make the symptoms worse.  also it makes you think about healthier choices for your food and drink.  i&#039;ve quit drinking, alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine.  i don&#039;t think about it, or crave it.  i need to lose 30 more lbs. to be at my desired weight.  will check back in later on, with my progress.  it works, just hang in there!!!"
