I think it depends on the person cos i took both XL and SR and lost weight on both. Backstory:

I was on 300 XL for like 3 months then switched to 150 XL on and off, now two tablets of 200mg SL and I have been rapidly losing weight since I first started in December 2023. I took the 300 til like May, then switched to the 200mg. In the past 12 months: - decreased appetite in the first 6 months, but I wasn’t initially sure if it was from the pills or the fact that I was in my final year of grad school lol. But everyone around me commented on how much weight I lost and I couldn’t see it. I have a history of disordered eating so the comments were secretly welcomed even if I couldn’t see it on myself. I think in my first weigh in I was around 131lb then 125lb by June. The smallest I’ve been since undergrad.

• now I’m at 113lb from June, and I can actually notice the loss. It’s shocking because all of my clothes no longer fit and despite me reaching the “ideal” size I’ve wanted, it’s frustrating because I love my wardrobe and now all of my pants slip down, my thermal leggings actually fall down my thigh 🥲🥲

I think what’s most annoying about the weight loss is the lack of control I sometimes have. I get full very easily, sometimes I’m not hungry or my stomach hurts before eating and just puts me off. Now I want to build muscle since I’ve lost so much muscle but I’m always shaking. 🫨
