Answer 1

I have to agree with Kimmer. I have been on it about 2 months and the first couple weeks I lost about 10 pounds, and now it seems like my body has become immune to it.It does get frustrating. I heard though, it you stop taking it for a month or so, and then restart, it will work again.Dont know. I tried Meridia before this and it worked for about 2 months, then stopped. Where's that miracle cure!? If you find it along the way, pleeeease let me know : )

Answer 2

My Dh and I started it 2 weeks ago. He has had amazing results and has lost 16 pounds.

I lost 9 lbs. the first week and now, NOTHING. I'm exercising 45-60 minutes per day (cardio) 5 days per week and logging every piece of food that goes into my mouth (to the tune of no more than 1100 calories a day) and not drinking caffeine or soda of any kind...and the scale still will not budge anymore.

I need to lose about 40 lbs. I dropped 46 lbs. all on my own after the birth of my daughter, but this last 40 is killing me.  We go in Monday for our 2 week checkup. I'm really disappointed.

Answer 3

I have taken it before. It works but it'll keep you awake for days. I had the worst dry mouth you can imagine. It wasn't worth it.
