"i started taking this pill on 5/24/08 and have already lost 9 lbs. i weighed 180 lbs and now i weigh 171 lbs.  i am really excited about this medicine.  i needed a jump start because i craved sugars and carbs alot and had been working out 4-5 times per week since january and not lost any weight. i haven&#039;t worked out because the doctor says to see how the pills affect me and then start slowly incorporating exercise. he has me on a strict plan and i will be off them in 6 weeks.
