"37 yo, mother of four children; 18y, 12y, 2y, 10 mos. i&#039;ve been overweight then obese pretty much all my life. the older i get, the harder it is to try to lose weight it seems. my dr. put me on phentermine 37.5 last week. as of that appointment on 5/25 my starting weight was 260lb. as of 6/2, my current weight is 252lb. it&#039;s a huge challenge to try to eat as my appetite is gone this first week. it&#039;s slowly coming back. the energy boost is great and much needed with 4 kids!"
