    My GP told me that after 2 months on the tablets that 3 lbs was a good loss.  She has also recommended that I start to do some form of weights when I go to the gym to build muscle and this burns the calories alot faster.  I have also decided to reduce my carb intake alot so I will see whether that helps too.
