"i started saxenda around the 3rd week of july and am at 1.8 ml.  i am a 5&#039;4 female, 42 years old, with thyroid problems amongst other issues.  i was at 215 pounds  and  am down 9 lbs with no exercise.  yay!  i purposely didn&#039;t exercise while i was adjusting. once i see if i can handle 3.0 ml i will add in exercise.  the side effects are gone and i hope it stays that way.  i find i get on my scale and every few days i am about .5 pounds down.  this is requiring a lot of patience!"
