"i started in nov of 2014 @ 185 lbs and am a 46 yo f, 5&#039;5&quot;. i have been an avid exerciser for about 12 yrs now so that wasn&#039;t a problem for me. i found the qsymia most helpful in the area of energy. ever since turning 40 i have struggled with energy and have found that a daily nap was necessary. i no longer need naps as a daily routine. i also get full much faster. i wasn&#039;t given a diet program by my doc but i have stuck to approx 1200 cals a day, no processed foods or white sugar and do allow myself one cheat meal, incl wine once/wk on a date night w/my husband and have since week one. i have lost 33lbs and 43 inches! i&#039;ve found that the weight just keeps dropping ea week! this works!!"
