I went from 295 while taking 200 to now at 198 taking 600mg over course of 5 years. I stopped losing weight about 9 weeks ago and started gaining. It's gotta be muscle because I exercise away more than I eat most days. I've only lost around 25 this year total, but this year I first started working out, in over 40 years of life. I'm truly a "new year/new me" person. I've only drank twice. I'm not constantly looking for that adrenaline burst from anywhere. I got divorced from an emotionally abusive b-word after putting up with it for over 20 years and being married almost that long. I was for the first time ever free of racing thoughts, for over 4 months, and though they returned, I have gotten them to slow to a trickle again and sometimes I can clear my mind of all the BS. I am now spiritual and possibly a Buddhist, though not by teachings, but by life and am pursuing the idea that I probably am a Buddhist. I think I know what loving relationships are supposed to be, but I guarantee I've never had one before with anyone. I'm not looking for anything in life other than being happy and healthy. I have slipped and flopped plenty, but I'm recovering from a lifetime of either neglect or abuse.
I kinda went on a tangent there, huh? Took me too long to write it. You didn't have to read it all
