"i just want to say i did not exercise on phentermine. and after trying numerous, and i mean numerous weight loss medications, phentermine did help me lose 60 lbs! i started off at 200 lbs back in august of 2014, when i asked my doctor for it. right away, it took my appetite away and i stopped drinking soda (which that was my #1 bad habit) that&#039;s when i finally started drinking water (which i never did) and since then, i&#039;ve started gradually started eating smaller portions. and, month-by-month i hit plateaus, but went past those. i averaged 4-5 lbs a week. i lost a total of 60 lbs total. i am now 130 lbs! it is now 7/4/15 and have been off off phentermine for 4 months and have kept the weight off and have not gained a pound! it has helped me"
