"i am 28 years old, 5&#039;8 and my starting weight was 285lbs. i gained a tremendous amount of weight during my pregnancy and after i gave birth to my son, i&#039;ve been struggling the last year 1/2 to get it off. i&#039;m no stranger to eating healthy, and working out, but could not seem to get this weight off for the life of me. i began taking phentermine on saturday, april 1st and as of today i have lost 10 lbs, with a weight of 274.8. i work out on saturday&#039;s monday&#039;s, tuesday&#039;s &amp; thursdays doing high impact cardio, and i have also been consistent with a diet of about 1000 calories a day or less. no processed foods, soda, sweets, breads, pastas...basically none of the foods that make you fat, lol. i&#039;d like to lose another 10lbs before my follow-up."
