"today i went to see my dr. due to the struggle of weight loss. i am 5&#039;10 and started two weeks ago at 215. i started calorie counting to stay under 1750 and cut out soda and sugary beverages. on my own i have lost 7 lbs. my dr has prescribed me with adipex p. 37.5 mg tablets 1x a day. i start my journey tomorrow morning with this prescription and was told that i will come back in 1 month and must show at least a 6 lbs loss in order to continue taking it for an additional 2 months before a breaking period. although i told him i would like to achieve 150 he told me let&#039;s start by achieving 170 first. i am excited and nervous but am motivated. 208 now will update in 30 days!"
