"update: 

i started taking phentermine 37.5 mg. on july 19th weighing 177lbs, today is july 30th and i weigh 169lbs. so i&#039;m down 8lbs. i don&#039;t take the medicine everyday sometimes i skip 1 or 2 days &amp; i only take 1/2 a pill to cut down on the side effects plus i don&#039;t want my body becoming dependent on this because i won&#039;t be on it long. i&#039;m happy with my loss &amp; sure it could be more but i&#039;m trying to do this the right way as safe as possible. will give you another update when i reach my 1st goal of losing 20lbs."
