"I started Belviq on July 24 and in 10 days lost 10 pounds. I drastically changed my eating habits though, you must put in some work for the pill to work, I honestly do not believe though, that even with the change of eating, I would have lost that much in 10 days (I did not exercise in those 10 days). Side effects - I had the worst headache for about 3 days, I just popped some aspirin and eventually the headaches stopped. The one side effect that I did have that I eventually led me to stop taking Belviq is the tiredness! It was so bad, that I chose not to take the pill anymore (stopped on August 1) and try to do this on my own, and so far so good. As of today August 20 I am down 13 pounds! Outside of that, I HIGHLY recommend it!"

"I am 31, 5'9, 270 lbs. I've been on Belviq for 8 days. On the 1st day, I experienced a slight headache. I've had no other side effects since then. After 4 days of Belviq, eating VERY healthy small portions & doing 40 min of intense aerobics, I had not lost a pound! I was discouraged & figured I wasn't a responder. My appetite wasn't suppressed either. Then I decided to take it on an empty stomach instead of with my meals. It works for me 100% now. Once I take it, I don't want anything to eat for about 3 hours. During that time, I just drink water. In the last 3 days, I've lost 6 lbs! I'll update again once my 30-day subscription is up. Feeling HOPEFUL again!"

"I started at the end of February. I was 217 lbs. And today, it's Easter and I'm at 192 lbs. It is amazing, and you will see results in the first 2 weeks. It's free, and you can decide if it's for you or not. My father tried it, and it was not for him. I'm taking 1 10mg pill a day, not 2 as the bottle says, and it's working for me."

"I have been on Belviq for two weeks and am down seven pounds. I'm excited to see how much I can lose. I have struggled with weight off and on over the years, but I have four kids and have not paid much attention to my own health. The side effects are minimal. I think it is pricey, but it works and that makes it worth it."

"Everything described by others on Belviq, I agree. However, I will summarize my experience by saying I used to live to eat, and after only 9 days, I now can truly say I eat to live. Definitely I feel that I have full control over what to eat and how much to eat at every meal. I am a Type 2 Diabetic. I started on Belviq 9 days ago on 06/13/13. Fasting Weight = Lost 4.80 pounds down to 246 from 250.8 or -1.9%. Fasting Glucose down by an average of 49 mg/dL from a baseline point of 164 mg/dL on 06/13/13 = 115 mg/dL on average. Weight-promoting Insulin Intake was reduced from 100 units to 70 units = 30% decrease. Next appointment with my Endo on Sept/20, can't wait to see what my next HbA1c will be. Last on 06/04 was 7.2%."

"I've been on Belviq for just under 3 months. I started out at 211 lbs (5'6'') and I'm down to 191. It definitely helps reduce appetite. Recently unemployed, I was petrified I would be sitting at home stuffing my face. But not with Belviq. I don't feel hungry. One thing to note, if I ignore that lack of hunger and eat (i.e. for emotional/stress reasons), the medicine won't stop me from overeating. This medicine isn't some sort of replacement for a stomach-reducing surgery, but it is a very good tool. It's been the jumpstart that I needed. I also work out 5 times a week at a gym, which I did before, but I increased my workouts, adding a class here and there. Ladies beware, a possible side effect of Belviq is urinary tract infection, which I've had."

"I'm pretty excited. My dress size is down from an 8 to a 4 after about 8 months on Belviq. Yes, I am exercising daily. My eating habits have changed for the better. I think that is how it works. You forget to eat and when you do eat, you eat less. You get used to eating less and better, healthier foods seem to fill you up more than before. I have new eating and exercising habits now, so yes, this is the new me. I hope this helps others as much as it has helped me!"

"On day 6, I noticed a little more room in my belt and decided to weigh a day early - 194.5 lbs down to 187 lbs. I've lost 55 pounds from my tubbiest in 2003 (about 20 of that was water weight when I got my pacemaker replaced) but hit a plateau around 195 lbs for the last 6 months. My goal is 170 lbs by year-end. My trepidation about being a guinea pig for a new medicine is more than balanced by the ease and amount of the result. I'm expecting further improvement in backache and joint pain as my weight continues to drop. Now on day 14 at 184 pounds, I've lost 10 pounds, twice my stretch goal, and feel great. This is too easy!"

"I have been taking Belviq for 2 months. I love it. I did have a headache for weeks and felt tired. I slept. I weighed 226 lbs and now weigh 210 lbs. The only thing is you have to make yourself eat, but you will feel full quickly."

"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks now. I do have some sleeping problems, but it is getting better. I was 246 lbs, and at my 2-week weigh-in, I was 233 lbs. I have changed the way that I eat and have had no time for exercise. I love this pill."

"I have been on Belviq for six months and was 229 pounds. Now I am 192 pounds, with lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Side effects early on were feeling a little tired and having a headache. My willpower and confidence are up by 100%, and my cigarette consumption has decreased by 65% from two packs. My cravings for food and cigarettes are pretty mellow, and I believe I will quit sooner rather than later. This is way too easy, and yes, I do ride my bike daily."

"I've been taking Belviq for 9 days now. It is amazing. I feel great and it has suppressed my appetite. It has really changed my eating behavior, and the most amazing part is I haven't missed it. I'm not one for dieting, but I've lost 8 lbs and counting. Good luck."

"No longer in denial that I was really fat. 5'10 tall and 217 pounds. High blood pressure and overweight were other factors on the horizon. My joints hurt, and so did my back. Six months in, 58 pounds less, less medication, sleeping well, and had no real side effects. I no longer have joints that ache, and my blood pressure medicine was lowered. Glad I got talked into trying this great medicine."

"Began to take two weeks ago (7/8) starting with 1 pill on 7/8, then 2 pills a day (morning before breakfast and evening before dinner). The first week was dramatic (lost 5 pounds). The second week was slow, only 2 pounds. It is my body's way of fighting back not to let go of fat. But 7 pounds in two weeks is amazing. The most important change is sleeping through the night. I used to get up in the middle of the night with a prescription sleeping pill. Then, I would go to the kitchen and eat some snacks. Yes, I am a night eater. Now, that habit is gone. The second night after sleeping through the night, I stopped the sleeping pill. I do not need a sleeping pill anymore and I do not eat in the middle of the night. I don't feel hungry anymore."

"Been exactly a month using and I've lost 14 lbs. Have had little time to exercise so I'm hoping to start soon with the nicer weather. Side effects at beginning were dry mouth and backache. None now, so from 216 to 202 lbs. Goal is 170 lbs."

"First week 7 lbs, a lot of energy and fall right to sleep at night and stay asleep. Only negative is I can only take one or I experience urinary tract infection-like symptoms. I'm excited to weigh in the morning, it will have been 14 days. I LOVE Belviq!"

"I never thought of myself as fat, but chunky, I might say. Well, I am overweight at 5'5'' 198 lbs. So, I started on Belviq six months ago and felt it was pricey $155.00 after the $75.00 discount. Well, I have lost 35 pounds and now get it for $75.00 per month as my insurance does not cover this easy-to-use medicine. I had a little dry mouth but otherwise nothing really bad as a side effect. My overall health is much improved, as well as my confidence."

"I am a 61-year-old, 5'3" female that started the 2-week trial on April 15, 2014, at 237 pounds. If I had any initial side effects, I don't recall them, so I must have had none or they were too mild to mention. I don't have any side effects now, which is a little over 3 months since I started. I lost 10 pounds during the 2-week (free) trial, so I was impressed and definitely ready to continue! I got a $75/month card (credit) from the pill company, so that was a plus. I still have to pay $163/month. My insurance does not cover it. They would rather pay for my cholesterol and blood pressure meds. So as of today, July 18, 2014, I have gone from 237 to 210 lbs. Not too bad with 27 pounds gone with no side effects and no exercise. Loving the results!"

"I have been on Belviq for 8 days now. The first 3-4 days, I had headaches and a slight pounding in my ears. I do feel like I'm a little more forgetful than usual, but nothing extreme. I just make myself a list so nothing slips by. My joints are a little sore, but again, nothing extreme. My starting weight was 176.8, and 8 days later, I'm 171.2. I haven't changed my eating habits as far as what I eat, but I'm eating a portion of what I would normally eat. My 'obsession' for food has pretty much gone away. I can get through an entire day without having cravings. So far, the results compared to the slight side effects are so worth it for me! My Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance covers 65% of the monthly cost, so my monthly portion is $71.00."

"I have been on Belviq since September 2014 and have lost about 50 lbs. Today 1/27/2015, I weigh 195 lbs. Back in September, I was at 248 lbs. I love Belviq so much, it's one of the best prescriptions I have ever gotten. Because Belviq helps me control my appetite, I am able to eat less and I eat healthier food. Also, I have started working out for an hour a day, 6 days a week since I started Belviq. It's the most amazing medication that exists, it really has changed my life for the better."

"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks now. The only side effect I have had is a few hours of dry mouth on the first day. No other side effects since. I am now eating much less than normal and am not hungry. It works great at making you not want to eat. I have lost 4 lbs and am not even trying. Great medicine for those who can't lose weight on their own!"

"I love it. Remember not everything is right for everybody, we all have different bodies. I can't take anything, I always have bad side effects. I am 3 days in now, I noticed I can go without snacking all day and night because for some reason I'm hungry all the time. By the 3rd day, I feel different in a good way. I'm going to wait until my 7th day to weigh myself, I just feel more positive or something. It's hard to explain, I guess like I have some hope now. I weigh 206 now, I want to be back to my normal weight of 130, and I have a feeling I may be able to do that now since now I can pass on the carbs without craving them all the time. I hope that other people who feel like there is no hope and feel like a prisoner in their body can use this also."

"I have been taking Belviq for 6 weeks and have lost 21 pounds, or 8.6%! Food tastes great, I just eat less. I have had no side effects other than I sleep better at night. This has been a pretty easy diet, food cravings and late night snacking are gone!"

"I have been taking Belviq for 3 months and have lost 43 pounds. It definitely curbs my appetite, and I don’t crave carbs or sweets. I’m hoping it keeps working as I have a lot more to lose. I highly recommend Belviq!"

"Still working since June 12 now. The benefits of Belviq are great, weight loss: 16 lbs, belly shrinking by 4 1/2 inches, blood pressure now normal, feeling great, feeling light. Get a good diet, don't think that you can still do McDonald's, Wendy's every day. The pill won't fix that kind of behavior. It still takes a commitment from you, it just makes it easier to accomplish it."
