"started taking on 2/7/2016 as well as vitamin shots from a weight loss clinic and a 1200 calorie diet. starting weight 243lbs. i am 5&#039;5 and 30 yrs old. since starting i have experience more energy, less hunger and i have lost 6lbs in 3 days. it is hard for me to get 1200 calories in. i do a meal replacement bar at breakfast with the medicine and a shake at lunch. dinner is my only real meal. i have yet to find the time to get the gym (i was going prior). i am extremely thirsty all day my intake is in excess of 130 ozs daily. prior i was at 60oz. my heart rate has increased but not to an alarming level.  will update after full month"
