"i just started taking phentermine yesterday 2/8/2011.  when i weighed myself yesterday morning the scale said 273.0 i took the pill and my appetite was completely gone. i ate a very small breakfast and had to force myself to eat anything for lunch.  when dinner came i wasn&#039;t hungry but i figured i should eat something.  i drank 9 bottles of water because my mouth was so dry.  i didn&#039;t have any issues sleeping and i didn&#039;t notice any change in my energy level. when i woke up this morning i headed straight to the scale and i&#039;d already lost 3lbs. the scale said 270.8.  i&#039;m very excited and super motivated to continue."
