"i&#039;m a mother of two and my youngest is 5 so i can no longer use the baby fat excuse. i spoke to my doctor and she told me that i am very unhealthy and i need to make a life-altering decision. i finally did i want to live a longer life. i&#039;m 27 years old i&#039;m 4ft 11in. march 16, 2017 was my first day taking phentermine. i weighed in at a 187lb. march 18, 2017 i just weighed myself i&#039;m 185. this is the beginning and i&#039;ve lost 2 pounds. when you know you&#039;ve lost a pound in day any side effects are worth it. i&#039;m currently experiencing dry mouth, nausea, it is definitely an appetite suppressant because i haven&#039;t been hungry.  i can&#039;t wait to see the effects by next week!"
