"i started on the lower dose on 11/4/14. my starting weight was 301. 2 weeks later i went up a dose. on 12/4/14 my weight was 261 and i am still on the 7.5mg dosage. my doctor was so shocked when she saw me. she said the average person loses 1-2lbs a week and i&#039;ve managed to lose about 10lbs a week. i also told her i cut out carbs and sugars. i no longer look at food as if i have to have it. i now look at food as a necessary nutrient my body needs to live. it is the best decision i&#039;ve ever made."
