"this medicine will work great if you follow the proper eating habits and exercising.  i started this medication the last week of july 2010 and lost a total of 42 pounds to date.  my eating habits changed totally and i drink plenty of water everyday. i started walking and then gradually started running 2 miles everyday except for friday&#039;s.  i slowed down recently because of the weather, but my weight still remains the same.  i still eat healthy for the most part, but i still treat my myself every now and then."
