"i took this back in 2012. i was 270 pounds when i started and lost 120 pounds in 9 months with diet and exercise in 2015 i got pregnant and gained 30 back. my doctor prescribed it again and i lost it again. it may not be for everyone but it worked for me. i was also able to maintain a healthy weight after again with diet and exercise. if your prob to being over weight you will always have to try. don&#039;t look at it as getting thin.. look at it as a lifestyle change for your health. diets fail but lifestyle changes last if you want them too."
