Weight Loss
"I have been in peri-menopause and now menopause for 9 years.  I did the average gain of 1-2 pounds per year. Started 186lb in January Lost 9lb on own, hit a plateau.  Doc put me on Qysemia.  I lost 14 pounds in 3 months, and stopped, as my doctor didn&#039;t want me below 160 (5&#039;8&quot; tall, 53 years old)  For my size, he said I looked good and didn&#039;t want me obsessing about weight.  My goal was health and strength.  I work out 30-40 minutes a day.  Had all usual side effects, hand tingling, dry month, constipation, which cleared when I stopped.  I weigh myself weekly and if I stay within 3 pounds of my goal, I don&#039;t worry.  I still watch what I eat.  I found it easy to make good choices while on medication, as I wasn&#039;t hungry and sweets tasted off."
