"years ago i took phendimetrazine 105 mg at 10 am and 35 mg. at 3:00.  i lost 15 lbs the first week and 10 lbs the following week.  i thought i didn&#039;t have to exercise and i sometimes would forget to take it.  i also thought i didn&#039;t have to eat - the less i ate the more weight i would lose.  so by the 3rd month, i wasn&#039;t losing it as quickly as i thought i should so i eventually quit taking it.  i have decided to go back on it and started today. the weightloss doctor told me not to eat sugar or fried foods, keep my calories at 1,200 a day, eat 3 meals a day and exercise 3 times a week and it&#039;s okay to splurge and eat one big meal a week.  i&#039;m going to try to stick to it this time!"
