"i started taking phentermine on 4/1/2015.  i am a 5&quot;5&#039; female, 36 years old and i weighed 220 lbs.  having 2 kids back to back really added a lot of weight in a really short amount of time and i was at a loss as to what to do.  i tried every diet i could think of but always ended up failing because lets face it, i dont have time to add another thing to my plate.  i am a wife, a mother of 2 small kids, a student and i work full time.  not only has phentermine given me the energy i need to keep up with my little ones, but i am maintaining school, work and home duties with no problem - i also exercise every day and eat 3 small meals a day.  as of 4/15/2015, i have lost 10 pounds! i love it so far!"
