"lost ten pounds in eight days. i believe it was water weight as i was having to get up 5 to 6 times a night to pee. starting my fifth week i have  lost less than two pounds as everyday it goes back and forth one pound. i had all the side effects, right now being the constipation. it has caused anxiety which i had to be medicated for a few years back. have noticed that when i get hot i get sick but if i stay cool i am fine. i do not eat. rarely hungry then i will get sick from not eating, so i do not understand why the weight is dropping off."
