"i am a 52 year old male. i started belviq on 1/20/15. i started at 231lbs. my main problem was no willpower and a love of food. while belviq did not get rid of my hunger, it brought it within my &quot;willpower zone&quot;. assisted by a calorie counter app i have lost 25 lbs in 44 days. there were no adverse effects for me. i exercise 3x a week and really eat whatever i want, as long as i stay under my calorie target for the day. belviq has given me the head start i needed to live a more healthy life."
