obesity
"2nd Update: 7m 10d & I am still very happy with this med. Down 31lbs so far: started at 229lbs/36.4bmi; today at 198lbs/31.5bmi; goal is 156lbs/24.8bmi - just to get out of the “obese” range. I was inconsistent for a while (no pills while away on a 3wk vacay & only 2pills/day for a few months) & didn’t see any side effects or weight gain, just plateaued, which is good to know for when I go off this med someday. Back on the full dose for a few weeks & losing weight again. Very easy to skip a meal & hardly notice, which is where the real weight loss comes in. I don’t crave the bad foods I used to & don’t mindlessly eat. ScaleDown trial ran out (was able to keep the scale) but after a few months it was only generic info anyway & not worth it."
