"i started saxenda in august 2016. i have been a yoyo dieter all my life. when i started i weighed 273lbs. i now weigh 216 lbs. i have always been an active person. i go to the gym 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes. i also take a 20 minute walk during my lunch time. the weekends are my most difficult time so i make it a point to at least get my 10,000 steps in each day and do some type of activity . i have never denied myself any food although i make sure to eat as healthily as i can. from time to time i still have dq blizzards, french fries and anything else i love but in much smaller portion sizes. this is the first time in my life that i continue to stay motivated and continue to reach for my goal weight. better late than never."
