"i started on this on 10/16/2017. i am 5&#039;7 and weighed 264 pounds at start.  today, 17 days later, i weigh 258.8. i am still just doing the lowest dose but plan to move to the next step now that side effects are a little more under control.  the first 2 weeks i would have a headache in the evening and be super tired but now i have adjusted to it and the symptoms have subsided.  i was addicted to fast food and would drink a 2 litre soda in 2 days.  now i haven&#039;t had fast food but once in the 17 days and i didn&#039;t even finish it all.  also i drink a 12 oz cup of soda a day, just to keep away the withdrawal headaches and the rest of the day i am drinking water.   i am starting to feel more motivated and excited to start working out!"
