"i&#039;ve been taking adipex for about 3 weeks now and i&quot;ll tell you i have more energy and my appetite has decreased dramatically. i am able to stay on my 1400 calorie a day diet without any hunger pangs.  i don&#039;t know how much weight i&#039;ve lost yet, but my co-workers say they see it.  i just know i&#039;m not going to stop until i reach my goal of 200 lbs by my 50th birthday...january, 2009. i started out weighing 276 lbs."
