"i am a 63 yr old female. my doctor had been talking about belviq to me for awhile but as all of you know, i wasn&#039;t about to start a diet until i was &quot;ready.&quot; i had to be &quot;all in&quot; for it to work. well when my hip surgeon said he wasn&#039;t going to do hip replacement until i lost weight, i decided that i was officially &quot;ready!&quot; i took my first belviq med on april 11, 2014 at 237 pounds. today is march 1, 2015 and i weighed 175. a loss of 62 pounds! this is with hip surgery in august 2014 and also with no exercise (yeh i know i gotta start). i take one pill in the morning and one at dinner time. i have only bought healthy food so i am not tempted at the house by the &quot;bad&quot; stuff. i eat out once a month or 2 months and eat healthy. love this med!"
