"i was put on phetermine to aid in my weight loss, i had tried everything, even used herbalife strictly for one month and didn&#039;t lose any weight, i was concerned about hypothyroidism as thyroid problems run in my family, but at 26 it shouldn&#039;t be posing an issue and blood work came back normal, i chalked it up to a metabolic problem and consulted with my doctor. on the day of my visit my resting blood pressure was 149/93, i don&#039;t get nervous at the doctor because i&#039;m a veterinary technician so i see needles and help treat animals all day so those things don&#039;t bother me. i am 5&#039;2 and my weight at the doctor was 192lbs. my doctor wants me back in 1m to see how i&#039;m doing, she requested i lose 5lbs by the time she sees me. so far i&#039;ve lost 9lbs."
