"i have been using this since july 17th (last friday). my starting weight was 181 pounds. and as of today july 20th, i&#039;m 173 pounds. i do workout almost daily so that helps. i was in the army years ago. i got out when i got married and got pregnant and since then i haven&#039;t been able to get back to my old size, that was 2007. so the doctor was more then willing to help me lose weight. so far i love the product. the first day i had dry mouth and a headache. lately i&#039;ve just had the headaches and struggling at night to sleep. but i&#039;m kind of used to it being that my two year old likes to sleep with me (husband in iraq). so i would recommend it to anyone. i&#039;m doing great on it."
