"i started taking it 9/23/09. i take 1/2 a pill every morning which is 18.75mg. for the first time in a long time i have felt the energy to go out and exercise (which i do an hour everyday. strength train and calistenics 3 days a week, the rest i walk). it&#039;s wonderful! i only ate/drank 1195 calories and i keep a food diary. when i woke up this morning and weighed myself i saw that i lost 2lbs and 1.2% of my body fat. only after one day of taking it!!  my goal is to lose at least 50lbs. i don&#039;t really have much problem sleeping, but my lips are very dry. i use a lot of chap stick."
