"started the low dose for 10 days and now on the higher dose for 4 days now. starting weight was 386 i&#039;m 5&#039;7 female and 54 yrs old, so now it&#039;s been 14 days and i weighed in at 372  this pill works you just have to focus and not eat.  staying with low carb foods. salads, egg white omelettes, strawberries. i am hypothyroidism but still can&#039;t use that as an excuse. i ate because i enjoyed food. now i must eat smaller portions and really cut back. this pill has taken the edge off. the only side effect is i&#039;ve been thirsty. i drink plenty of water so it&#039;s been controlled.  my doctor wanted me down 20 - 30 pounds in 3 months. i hope to do that in 2 months. just stay focus. study the course and you can succeed."
