Just be careful. If you notice ANY problems. Including the shaking hands and other neurological problems then I would cease taking it. My suggestion is to go along with your healthy eating and excecise regimin. If you are doing any body building then you aren't going to loose the weight as quickly possibly because you aren't just loosing fat but gaining muscle. Any weight loss takes time. Congrats on loosing what you have so far. Good Job.
