"hello everyone! i&#039;m 25 years old. i started my weight loss journey on march 27, 2016. my staring weight was at 289 and my height is only 5&quot;5. i knew i had to make changes in my eating habits and lifestyle. started taking phentermine on march 27th. i had a hard time sleeping at first and of course dry mouth - which just means i need to drink plenty of water. yes! it does curve my appetite but the point of the pill is to eat more, but more healthy choices and workout.  i just had a weigh in on august 3rd and i weighted 254. my goal weight is between 185-220. next weigh in i hope to weights around 245 or less. i will keep everyone posted."
