"i&#039;m 5&#039;9. i started taking this medication 11/14. i weighed 315lbs. i wanted something to help guide me in the right direction. when i started i made a commitment to myself that i would go paleo. which i did. i also exercise 2-3 times a day. now 7 months later i&#039;ve lost 190lbs. i can&#039;t tell you how much this medication has helped me save my life. not once during these 7 months have i had anything sweet. i drink nothing but water. not to mention stopped taking a pill everyday and take one every few days. my doctor never put me on anything higher than the 7.5mg bc i lost weight so rapidly. i have no desire for anything bad to eat with or without the medication. the only bad thing i can say is that i have a ton of excess skin!!"
