"i have been on belviq for exactly 2 months now.  i am a 43 year old male, but was starting to feel like i was 75+ years old.  in 2 months, i lost 42 lbs, and am averaging about 1.5 lbs every 2 days.  i was 329 lbs at the start and already can feel the difference.  along with belviq, i changed my eating habits, and although i have not started exercise yet, (gotta drop some more before i start that) i feel like a new person.  i can do things like go up a flight of stairs without losing breath. something i couldn&#039;t do before.  i read a lot of people having different success or no success with this drug, but i thank my doctor for allowing me to try this, and not do the bypass surgery he had originally wanted to do. good luck to everyone."
