"i am 26 yrs. old and after 3 kids in 4 years have gained 72 lbs!  i became so self conscious of going out to public that i would make up excuses for why i had to stay home. finally, i could not bear it any longer and went to my doctor. he prescribed phentermine 37.5mg. i am on my 2nd month and so far i have lost 22lbs! i am so excited!  i do 30- 45 mins cardio 4-5 times a week, and strength with a healthy food plan. i know some of you said that you are losing the weight without exercising, but i&#039;m afraid of flabby ugly looking skin so i&#039;m trying to stick to a lot of toning and cardio. i&#039;m actually trying to do more workouts to hurry the weight loss along! the only side effect i have is the dry, fuzzy mouth. i really am glad for this!"
