"i started this medication on 2/18/2017 at a starting weight of 323 lbs (i&#039;m 5&#039;11&quot;). i&#039;ve tried and tried to lose weight and it just was not happening. my doctor prescribed me this medication and put me on a strict 1600 calorie diet. so far i have lost 12 lbs in my 14 days on this medication. i do work out everyday and lift weights as well. if you combine a good diet and exercise with this medication i believe it most definitely will pay off."
