"i have struggled with my weight for years.  i am 5&#039;7&quot; tall female.  i started taking phentermine on july 13, 2016.  my starting weight (my highest) is 268.  i had lost about 20lbs on my own.  when i talked to my doctor about my problems with my legs and how my weight seemed to have stalled, she recommended this.  i go back next month for my 1 month follow-up.  one thing i noticed is dry mouth.  my goal is to get down to between 160 to 180 by christmas.  next week i plan on going to the gym to walk on the treadmill.    wish me luck."
