I was down 1 lb. the first week and gained back that lb this week. I'm at 196. It wasn't a great week and I didn't get the full .25mg last Friday, which I could tell the difference. I decided to go to .5 mg today since I haven't had any sides. I will do this week and next at .5 and then jump to 1 mg after that. My workouts have been great, I'm either doing more reps or increasing the weight each week. I work for a mowing business and the season starts April 1st, so I will be getting plenty of steps/cardio. I will workout 3 days a week, full body instead of my current routine. If anything the Sema eliminates any cravings, but I'm sure it's doing other things inside.
