"i&#039;m 58 and have always struggled with my weight, thyroid and other issues. i have been on victoza for about a month and lost eight pounds. i admit much of that is because i have no appetite. that makes it easy for me to make healthy choices when i do eat. one thing that i have noticed is that victoza definitely slows down the bowels. i think it&#039;s imperative to up the liquid intake. because of the bowels i think it&#039;s difficult to really gauge the weight loss. i go down a pound and up two the next day etc. i think taking measurements or trying on an old pair of jeans is more accurate in seeing the real weight loss. i can tell my health is improving and i feel like if i&#039;m patient this will get me to my goal weight of 155. 32 more to go."
