Since I've been on it, I have gained about 20 pounds. Part of it I'm sure is actual weight from not exercising and not eating right.- too many calories in, and too few cal. going out. Water weight.

Don't know if I'll be able to have potty break when the urge hits, so don't take it as often as supposed to.
Any thoughts
