Been on this off and on for 8 months and lost 53 pounds. Do strength and cardio 4 times a week but still amazed by how fast some people drop weight. Not gonna compare though - just focusing on keeping muscle while losing.
People keep telling me I'm losing too much or should stop, which is wild. Started at 265 three years back, lost almost 90 so far. Still technically overweight by height standards and aiming for another 20 with my doctor's approval. Why do people comment when a doctor is overseeing the whole thing?
So happy I tried this medication. Helped with cravings but also cut my alcohol interest way down. Used to drink regularly, that's just gone now. Spacing doses out right now and planning to taper further.
My wife's approach is different. She doesn't restrict what she eats at all. She'll grab pretty bad food but just eats smaller amounts of it. Even though her diet choices aren't clean, her bloodwork now looks fantastic. Her doctor literally said she wishes she could be on the same medication...
Two months on pharma after over two years on other options and I'm still holding the loss. That tells you everything about whether this stuff actually works.
