yesturday was week one for me and i have had no side effects which is wonderful. im not going to lie i had a bad week, ice cream cake, it was my bday so i ate a lot of it last week. i have been stuck at 240 for about a month and to my suprise i lost 2 pounds. i weigh myself 4 different times b/c i couldnt belive it. so im hoping with a better diet this week i might be able to lose more, if not 2 pounds a week is great. good luck to everyone.
