obesity
"I started taking Qysmia in early Feb 2015.  I am 5' 7" and weighed in at 283.  I spoke to my Dr with factors of PCOS, obesity, diabetes on both sides, pre-diabetic, high cholesterol, and other concerns. I eat fairly healthy, have tried a number of things to lose weight over the years.  I lost 18 lbs six years ago when I felt like I was doing everything right.  Went to the gym, worked out at least 2 hours with cardio, swimming and/weighta over the  course of 6 months. Only lost 18 lbs.  FRUSTRATING!!! So, I got brave enough and talked to my doctor.   With a combination of a reduced calorie diet and cutting back on carbs while boosting the low fat proteins, I have lost over 50 lbs in 3 months with no gym membership.  I do stay active though."
