"used for 12 days.  not a pound lighter.  5&#039;6/150. just need to loose 5-7 pounds for summer. no time to go exercise now: lots of physical work plus yard. eat mostly salads and soups already, sugar too but not a lot. my husband was taking it too. no change. we both are active, usually go to the gym 3-4 times a week. i have mild metabolism and he has slow metabolism. it&#039;s very hard for both of us to lose a single pound. we did notice bm and i think i noticed more hair loss in me. did take multivitamins plus calcium. after reading online about all the side effects, recall and bad experiences - i decided to put it aside."
