"my dr gave me the choice of two different weight loss medicines after reading the reviews for both of them i was a little worried about taking either. but after much research i decided on belviq. i started 1/1/16 and as of today(3/4/16). i have lost 20lbs. i have a lot more to lose but i am very pleased with my results and how effective belviq works. i have had absolutely no side effects at all. along with taking the medicine i use the ap my fitness pal to track my calorie intake. this ap is awesome and i highly recommended it. i workout usually 4-6 days a week. i have a bad knee so i am only able to do cardio on an elliptical for about 20-25 mins and then i lift for about 20-25 mins. so i am exercising but not more then a hour each night."
