"update from previous post. started 9/28/15 at 320lb, today 277lb that&#039;s 43 pounds in 20 weeks. i am losing pretty steady at 1 to 2 pounds each week.  using a needle was the hardest thing and that fear was over after the first few days. food just doesn&#039;t appeal to me while on saxenda. i am literally having to make myself eat. i am doing a low carb diet and started low impact (p90) workout. good luck to you, this has been a good product for me. no side affects."
