"i started taking phentermine march 26(monday), 2012. my first weigh in was 227lbs. i get up at 6:30 am every morning and take it first thing along with chromium picolinate. i do 30mins of body weight training and cardio 4x a week. i only eat 2x a day, usually post workout and grilled chicken, rice and veggies for dinner. i have ice water all the time. i also try to stay moving even after i work out. i did get the dry mouth, but i keep water in hand. i don&#039;t have trouble going to sleep, but have woken up several times a night. today is sunday april 1, 2012 and i&#039;m at 217lbs now. that&#039;s 10lbs in 6 days! the pill does work, but not by itself. if you want fast results, you have to work for it.
