"i started on belviq 2 weeks ago and i am down 26 lbs.  i started at 383 and am down to 357.  i assume much of my wt loss (20 lbs) the first week was water wt as i was eating fast food every day.  i also am using my fitness pal to help count my calories.  i have also begun to walk as a form of excercise.   after going out to eat this past weekend for a celebration i brought home 1/2 my meal which i have never done in my entire life.  i have lost wt on my own in the past, but felt due to depression and being in a hole i needed some help this time.  i also am only taking one 10 mg pill a day instead of the 10 mg 2x daily.  i am not hungry and the pills are expensive so if one pill a day is working this is what i will continue on."
