"i started taking this medicine 2 months ago.  i have lost 14 pounds.  i only take 2 pills in the morning and i exercise 3 times per week.  30 minutes each time.  
the only downside is that when you want to get a little tipsy you may not feel so good.  but you can have 2 glasses of wine and be fine.  that is just what i have experienced.  i am certain if i took the recommended dose weight loss would probably be more."
