"i started belviq last year july 2015, and for the first 7 months on it, only ate a healthy diet without excercise. only lost 8 lbs. was really disappointed.. well 1 month ago, i began eating right and exercising , and lost an additional 15 lbs. this is not a miracle drug. you can&#039;t take belviq alone and expect to lose weight. from my experience, i believe this med works well as a tool, but only if you completely change your lifestyle."
