"i am a 28 year old female at 5&#039;5&quot; i weighed in at 277 lbs on 03/ 10/17 i have not had any severe side effects, dry mouth is all. just drink lots of water. i exercise daily with interval training. i drink nothing but water and eat better. i keep my calories at about 1000 a day with 3 meals a day and a few snacks in between. i go back to see the doc on 4/10/17 i cheated and stepped on the scale today and have lost a total of 21lbs at 256. you can do it! it is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change, if you don&#039;t change your habits you will gain all of it back and more. can&#039;t wait to see what the next couple of months bring. goal weight of 150lbs!"
