"i started phentermine on february 13th. i started at 230lbs and now weigh 204lbs. this pill is a miracle for me. i&#039;ve had six children and the last was a c-section and at 28yrs old i just couldn&#039;t lose the weight. my goal is to get to 150lbs, what i weighed before all the children. a note to everyone the pill won&#039;t do it all by itself. at some point you will need to exercise and start watching what you eat. after the first day i&#039;ve had no side effects except for dry mouth."
