"i began taking adipex in 7/31/15.  i weighed in at 204.4 at my annual gyn appt and was disgusted that i had let myself get that heavy.  i hadn&#039;t weight that much when i was pregnant with my kids.  i am 5&#039;8&quot;.  my goal was to lose 15 pounds by labor day.  i was down 17 by that point.  i am now 22.4 pounds down and beginning my last month on it.  i use my fitness pal and try to keep to 1200 calories per day, high in protein.  i generally get in 4-7 miles a day walking and do a 25 minute exercise video 6 days per week.  i am hopeful that i have finally changed my lifestyle.  i needed the jumpstart.  only side effects early were dry mouth - i drink lots of water.  i plan to cut down to 1/2 pill a day this month.  love how it&#039;s working."
