"i gave belviq a 6 rating because my weight has been fluctuating between 180 - 185, it was usually towards the higher end.  recently my doc put me on metformin as well because my blood sugar is slightly out of the normal range.  after i started the metformin, my weight has remained in the low end of that range. i will say that after starting the 2 week trial (i&#039;m almost at the end) my portions are getting smaller and i do feel fuller faster.  cravings are still there but it is getting easier to deal with. i try to stick to sugar free portion controlled desserts, like pudding.  i don&#039;t expect to get mind blowing results on a two week trial, so i&#039;m willing to get a 90 day supply and see how things go.  i hope i can get over the 180 hump."
