"before i started adipex i was 170lbs at 5&#039;6. i lost 5 lbs on my own and got stuck. i went ahead and started adipex exactly one week ago and i am down to 155lbs. so happy. i have cut out almost all carbs. i only drink water. no sweets at all. one cup of coffee in the morning. after my daughter goes to school i go on almost a 2 1/2 to 3 hour walk. anyways just thought my experience might help someone out there. adipex gave me the boost of energy i needed and my eating habits are so so so much better. side effects were dry mouth so drink plenty of water. most side effects go away after the first 5 to 7 days."
