"it&#039;s been 3 weeks and i&#039;m down 9.4 pounds, this is my second time around, last year i lost more, but am still happy with the weight loss, but i do log my food intake daily, workout and walk 6-10 miles a week. when off this medication just continue to eat and workout the same, you will only gain back if you go back to your old eating. i had a family matter that threw me off, but i&#039;m ready again and it&#039;s been a great help!"
