Stopped the pill 5 days ago...
I began the pill in late May, with a plan of being on it for three months. Mainly for financial reasons. My plan was interrupted after about a month when I ran into a serious knee issue (I need a total knee replacement) that kept me from exercising for nearly two months. I'm back on the bike and the weight is coming back off again. My goal weight was 195, and I'm pretty close to that now. Yesterday after a 30 mile ride I was 197 after re-hydrating. This morning I was 200.2. I still have a 1 week supply of 1.5 mg, and three weeks of 4 mg. I like the idea if squirreling these away in case the weight comes back up, or if I think it would be a great idea later this year to get under 190. But at this point, I'm declaring this project a ringing success despite the unplanned challenges. All told I spent $15 on the IVIM membership and $600 on pills and it was all WELL worth the money spent.
