"starting weight on 6.12.17 was 184.5. type 2 diabetic with hashimoto thyroid disease. i was eating about 1200 calories daily and walking 6 plus miles a day i continued to gain weight. after the trial dose of which i had no side effects i had lost 13 pounds. started 7.5mg dose on 6.26.17. stuck at 168.5 for 12 days. eating less than 700 calories a day and still walking 3 to 10 miles. on day 3 of this dosage i started having nausea, tingling in my hands, and upper respiratory cough and throat irritation. i got down to 161 and although my routine stayed the same i started gaining weight. now at 164.5 again. discouraged but still trying. unsure if this is the right answer for me."
