"i started using phentermine 30mg on 2/1/14. my starting weight was 216 (i&#039;m 5&#039;3&quot;)...on 2/8/14 i weighed in at 209 and on 2/15/14 i weighed in at 205 (while on my period, which usually makes me gain 4-6 lbs)  11 lbs in two weeks is soooo motivating.  i was recommended the atkins diet but i workout really hard (power lift, insanity, boot camp) so for the past two weeks i didn&#039;t do the practically no carb plan i was given, but i did lower my carbs significantly (i used to eat a lot of oats, wheat bread, sweet potato) the doctor said i&#039;m doing great because most people my age, height, and starting weight, lose about 10lbs a month.  phentermine curbs my appetite  like nothing ever has and i&#039;m loving my results so far. i&#039;ll update next week."
