"i have now been on meridia since may 25, 09 and am happy with the results. i started walking 20-30 minutes once a day three times a week. i don&#039;t have the usual cravings for carbohydrates or sweet and salty foods, and for once i feel like i have control over my appetite, thanks to meridia. i was also approved for one year on my insurance. when i started, i weighed in at 239 lbs, so far i have lost 6lbs. good luck to you all."
