"to start out here a brief background. i&#039;ve never had issues with my weight. even after i had my 3rd child at 28. i still was able to loose the weight in about 6 months. i was back at 140. then i had my 4th child at 31. 2 months after having her, i got a tubal. than packed on more weight on top of just having a baby. when i stepped on the scales at 213, i about cried. so i went to my doctor and got the diet medicine. out of curiosity i stepped on the scale. it read 199. i&#039;m trying not to get my hopes up. but i&#039;m excited to be back under 200. my goal is 140. besides the dry mouth and running to the bathroom is the only side effects i&#039;ve had. and i can live with that till this weight comes off.  i&#039;m excited to see what it will be in a month."
