"i can really say that i was nervous starting this pill because i read the reviews and didn&#039;t want to experience the side effects. i just started this pill on tuesday, 7/8/14 and it has now been exactly one week and one day. i started weighing 188.6 and as of today, wednesday, 7/16/14 i weighed in at 180.4. so that makes a total of 8.2 pounds lost in just one week and and day. i normally work out but i didn&#039;t work out for this entire week purposely just to see how much weight i would lose without my daily exercise. i did however maintain my healthy meal plan and i drink 1/2 to 1 gallon of water daily. i am 25 years old and 5&#039;10. i haven&#039;t experienced any side effects (knocks on wood so i wont begin to experience them, best wishes to all!"
