"i started phentermine on 10/28 at 318 lbs. i was miserably depressed and my weight had spiraled out of control after getting married and having a baby. i had tried to lose and i found it nearly impossible. with phentermine, i have energy and my appetite is very controlled. i limit my carb intake and eat 1400 calories per day.  i work out 3-5 times per week and my endurance has greatly improved and there is a huge difference in the way i feel. i have lost 33 lbs in 7 weeks.  i expect to lose 10 lbs per month and i am very satisfied with that.  no side effects to speak of.  i am very happy my doctor prescribed this for me!"
