"took for 3 months and lost over 50lbs, made this a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix. have been off for 6 months and lost another 10lbs. doctor put me on it again today to lose the other 25lbs i need to be at a healthy weight. 5&#039;10 started at 252lbs goal is 165lbs, maintained my weight for 6 months with healthy diet and exercise 3-4xs a week. went from a tight 18 to a normal size 10. i do feel like i have less energy when i am not on it but my appetite stayed the same once i wasn&#039;t taking it anymore. this medication only works if you devote yourself to a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. good luck to you all and great job for taking the step to a healthier you."
