I've lost 35 lbs. so far, about a lb per week. I had it to lose, so no biggie.
You'd better believe it.
I wish I could lose the weight again that I lost during treatment but without being on the treatment. I lost about 30 pounds during treatment.

Based on the posters here, I'd say the majority lose weight during treatment.
I stayed about the same between 120 and 125.
I can think of two people who gained while on the meds but I can think of a LOT of people, including myself, who gained unwelcome weight after treatment and had a heck of a time taking it off. Some needed the extra pounds, like Debc, but I sure didn't.
I'd say weight gain post-treatment may be a side effect of loving, loving, loving to eat again.

First time I did the treatment lost about 25 poundsin 12 weeks, and this time have lost about 10 after 51 weeks. in between I put the weight back on, so I guess it is one of the side effects, when I see my nurse she always takes make weight.
It was for me, and I guess it is for a greater percentage of people. But some have also reported putting on weight. It really depends on how you react. I couldn't eat much most of the time and my taste buds were acting very strange. Tastes were distorted, if you can call it that. Sometimes I went for days only being able to eat apples.
So again, it is very individual.
