"i have been taking adipex for 2 weeks.  starting weight of 185 lbs and i have lost 8 lbs.  i walk 30 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon 7 days per week.  it really has decreased my appetite.  i eat a healthy breakfast, cut back on my portion size for lunch and supper and eat nothing past 6:00 pm.  i have not craved sweets and some food does not even appeal to me.  i want to lose a total of 50 lbs.  i do worry if i will gain the weight back once i stop taking the medicine."
