"i have taken adipex before a little over a year ago and lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks, then i stopped taking it.  i just recently started taking again on november 5th, and it really curves my appetite, and makes me drink lots of water due to dry mouth. i haven&#039;t started working out yet, but i try to only eat fruit for breakfast, a &quot;smart one&quot; for lunch and a 100 calorie snack during the day if i&#039;m hungry. for supper i eat normal foods, just smaller portions, and drink nothing but water.  i have already noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit, but i&#039;m not going to weigh for another 2 days. starting weight 198.5lbs (5&#039;4) goal weight 145lbs.  i go back in one month and i will keep posting."
