"Overweight Italian, 225 lbs, 59 yrs old, high blood pressure, taking Metformin and having a tough time walking more than 100 yards. I have been hounded by my wife and finally gave in to trying this new diet medicine. Well, nine months later and 66 pounds worth of meatballs and lasagna gone. I don't remember anything but losing the weight and have decision-making willpower that I never knew existed. This works and is not a gimmick and has allowed me to reduce my medicines. It seems far too easy and is the best secret in losing weight. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little crutch to avoid cravings and take over your own life."

"I was fat until about nine months ago. Now I am chunky but weigh sixty-three pounds less. Started at 229 pounds, now 166 pounds. Just started the stationary bike and look forward to getting to 148 lbs, and that is livable. My blood work and other issues are starting to make good progress. I would like to recommend this to the yo-yo dieters. No side effects except a little dry mouth."

"I just started taking this medicine and completed 2 days thus far. I have noticed that my interest in food, especially the unhealthy stuff, is gone. Even the foods that usually are great at tempting me really have no effect at all. They all of a sudden have become easy to resist. Furthermore, when I do eat, I definitely don't eat as much as I feel full sooner. I also noticed my mood has improved. In just 2 days, I have lost just over 1 lb. My doctor did advise me that Belviq should be combined with diet and exercise. I am older so exercise becomes problematic as my joints are stiff. Anyhow, I believe this medication will be helpful to those patients who tried everything and failed. I have had no side effects at this point although it is soon."

"Had trouble losing weight for years. Belviq has been really helpful. Haven't experienced any side effects except a mild headache the first couple of days. Already feeling the difference in both shedding pounds and sleeping better."

"I've been on this medication for 3 weeks. I started off with the 15-day free trial. I went to my doctor on the 20th day and had lost 12 lbs. I experienced no major side effects other than some stiffness in my jaw for the first few days. No more midnight snacking."

"90-day update. Down from 245 to 213. Headed south to 200. No more XXL shirts, and I lost 3 notches on my belt. Blood pressure down to safe levels. Was 190/125. Good luck. Hopefully, if more people hear about this, the price will come down."

"My first day on Belviq. 43 yo male - 243 lbs. I had a freaky illness about 4 years ago that shook me to my core. Suffered from severe anxiety after the whole ordeal. My doc put me on Zoloft to combat the anxiety (did the trick) but I gained 25 pounds in the process. Finally stopped Zoloft but haven't been able to shed the weight despite running 3 marathons & eating well. Recently approached my doc about Belviq (after great reviews on this site). After some blood tests, she prescribed it. I am sensitive to meds so I was quite nervous popping the first pill. Pretty quickly I felt happy, a little revved up and not much of an appetite. Stayed that way all day. No headache or dizziness so far. Fingers crossed this is going to work."

"Big-boned Latin lady, 5'1, 188 pounds. One year and 51 pounds gone. No more yo-yo diets or cravings, just feel good. Results: good blood work and my doctor likes the results. I like the lack of side effects, as these always concern me. Sleep well and just a little dry mouth the first month. Highly recommend you become the new you now."

"I just picked up Belviq over the weekend and I can say that I noticed a big change in my appetite. It's as if I have no energy to eat more than I have to, and my stomach feels more full sooner into the meal, so I eat less. Now I have tried many diets, many weight loss supplements without success so I was skeptical. Belviq is different. Instead of messing with your metabolism, it focuses on the appetite center and nothing more. I have had no side effects! Unlike the others I have tried in the past such as anxiety, nervousness, headaches, palpitations. I'm motivated to finally lose that 30 lbs my doctor keeps yelling at me about!"

"I started this medication over 2 weeks ago and I have lost 12 lbs. The only side effects I've experienced are occasional headaches here and there, but Advil cleared that up. Changed my diet and definitely not having cravings anymore, so much that my boyfriend bought me a donut and I told him no thanks! Super proud of myself. Can't wait to see my results after a couple of months, have to lose 40 lbs in total."

"Last year, I was on my way to Lap Band surgery when a friend of the family suggested Belviq as an alternative. I had my ups and downs, but in the end, I have lost 64 pounds and have thirty more to go. My medicines are down, and my blood work has improved dramatically. High praise as this saved me from getting surgery. Only side effect is better sleep, and I was tired initially the first three days. I don't chew my nails and feel more calm and am happier than I have been in years."

"I just got a 5-month script after finally trying the 2-week trial. I have fibromyalgia and wanted to make sure I waited an appropriate amount of time between taking this and any other meds I had been. In 14 days, I went from 195 to 182 lbs. The only side effect I experienced was a minor headache and sleepiness, which has now subsided. I feel amazing. Insurance won't cover, but I did receive help from Belviq with the cost. I will pay for my future health!"

"I've only taken Belviq a couple of days, but already I've lost several pounds and my desire for food, alcohol, and sugar. Today is day three and I do feel so good. I'll add more info as time progresses."

"I have been on Belviq since 1/1/2015 and was not losing any weight. I went to my doctor on 1/31/2015, and she said I did lose 7 lbs. I was shocked because when we'd weigh in at work weekly, I wasn't seeing high numbers. My doctor says slow and steady wins the race. I guess she is right! As of this Monday, I am down from 182 to 171 and couldn't be happier. Love the results."

"I have been taking Belviq for about 6-7 weeks. I have tried every fad diet and never had success. Exercise became almost impossible. So far, I have gone from 254-236 lbs. A little behind right now as I had emergency abdominal surgery last week. But I have to say my cravings have decreased that I have to remind myself to eat. I always craved sugar-filled treats. Now I can walk past the bakery section and not look or purchase anything. It has also cut down on our grocery bill. Prepared foods and bakery items add not only calories but can be costly. This girl always ate at least 2 cannolis at once. Haven't had one this entire time! Yeah!"

"Belviq has saved my life! I am a 72-year-old female that has tried EVERY diet and fad for weight loss. I have lost between 30-35 pounds since May, and my goal is in sight! I no longer isolate myself because I didn't want anyone to see how much weight I had gained. I have COPD, and the weight loss has helped by 30-40%! I no longer 'graze' all day and no longer hyper!"

"I talked to my doctor about Belviq and got a prescription last week. So far I have lost 4 pounds and feel great. It's like I am suddenly motivated to lose weight. I think as the weight comes off, exercising will become easier. I am tolerating the medication without side effects. I noticed no appetite for food and a boost in energy without the nervousness I felt with some of the over-the-counter products I used to take. I have told my friends and family about Belviq."

"Not sure if anyone actually reads these but here is a follow-up to my post last month. Today is day 48 and I am down 23 pounds. All side effects except my back pain are all but gone. The back pain is still bad at times. I still feel a little foggy but not so much that it affects me. I started intermittent fasting on 4/29/2019 so we will see how that works along with the medication. I make good food choices with more fruits and veggies and no fast foods. I still have no desire for sweets, which was my biggest issue."

"I have been on Belviq for seven months and lost 48 pounds. Started out at 219 and now 171 pounds. Still have twenty to go but am now able to do two-mile walks at a reasonable pace. Side effects a little dry mouth but otherwise feel great and sleep like a baby. Some friends have said I am more calm, but that is about it. Glad to have found this by a referral from a friend."

"41-year-old male. Started at 240 on 6/14/2014. Now 190 on 1/16/2015. Blood pressure down to normal. This is the first medicine that has kept me to my diet! Tried every supplement on the market. This is the only one that actually curbed my appetite. No more late-night eating. That was my biggest problem. Exercise is a must."

"I started the same day I received my prescription, weighed in at the doctor's office at 302 lbs! In 30 days, I have lost 27 lbs. For me, Belviq has been magical! Whatever you eat, you feel satisfied, no cravings, no nighttime snacking, no side effects! I am walking faithfully a minimum of 5 days a week, 2 miles a night! I now have started doing sit-ups, side bends, and light weight exercises! Every family member, friend, or even people I don't know, if they are interested in weight loss, I tell them the success I am having on Belviq and guide them to the site! I am beyond happy, and for me, this is life-changing."

"I just finished the free 2-week trial and lost 8 pounds! I couldn't believe it. I hadn't exercised either but will start incorporating it in a few times a week. Dr. prescribed me a 3-month supply, my insurance doesn't cover but the savings card from Belviq helps. I'll try one month and see from there."

"I was waiting a long time for Belviq to come out. It's been close to a week and I've lost over 6 lbs. Pretty impressive. Yes, I am dieting and exercising, but I am eating less. I just don't feel like eating anymore! I am hoping to lose 20 lbs in 6 months. I got a real good chance here. I don't feel any headaches or nausea like my doctor said."

"Started Belviq 6/12/13. I have no side effects. It definitely curbs my desire to eat, but I don't think it would be as effective if I did not have a 'good' diet to follow. Lost 4 lbs since starting, and waistline is getting slimmer already. I'm not edgy and can easily avoid carbs. Hope this helps anyone considering taking the pill."
