"i started taking the meds almost 2-weeks ago. lost 3 pnds on the scale but my clothes are loose and that&#039;s what matters to me. most people focus on that &quot;magic&quot; number but everyone needs to keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat; therefore, if you&#039;re also working out you&#039;re building/toning muscle. i&#039;m 5&#039;5&quot; @ 153 which had my doctor questioning why i was in her office. the first 2 days i had terrible headaches but believe they were withdrawals from completely cutting out caffiene &amp; sugar both at the same time (wouldn&#039;t recommend). my appetite has been little to nothing so i have to force myself to eat. i&#039;m continuously drinking water because of dry mouth but that&#039;s a good thing. good luck and don&#039;t focus on the scale so much!"
