"i started taking this on april 18, 2009 and as of today may 2, 2009 i have lost 6 lbs. the first week i lost none, but since last monday the scale is showing 6 lbs less. i have dry mouth but don&#039;t mind it - helps me drink plenty of water. i love how i am able to function without thinking about food non-stop. i hope to lose 12 more lbs.
