Thats a strange thing for pharmasist to say... although the average is 1 stone per month, if you have a lot to loose, you will loose more than this, previously my averages were between 3 and 4 lbs per week with the odd week 2lbs, maybe twice in 2 months.. dont mind the pharmasist.. as I said liptorim states the usual loss is 1 stone per month, but changes from person to person depending on your water retention and how much you actually have to loose.. stick with it and dont let anyone take away your thunder!!!! xxx well done x
