"i only took bontril 105mg for 2 months. i started out at 250lbs!!! i went to buy new clothes and was in a size 18, so depressing! i started out on bontril 35mg, that did nothing for me so they bumped it up. i did stop drinking cold drinks, and only water. i did not even drink tea. i ate a high protein diet, beef jerky, cheese, and yogurt. they told me 1200 calories but that felt impossible! i did exercise the first month but slacked in the second. i lost 50 pounds total in those 2 months.  there after i did not gain my appetite back and got all the way down to 162 pounds. this medicine is absolutely amazing! its been over 2 years and i just starting gaining some of the weight back due to the depo shot, i will definalty be going back to bont"
