"i&#039;m a 33 yr old female 5&#039;2&quot; and currently 241 pounds. i started working out 4-6 days a week starting beginning of may. on june 3rd my doctor prescribed me phentermine 15mg capsules. i&#039;m taking one every morning when i wake up. when i started the medication i weighed 251 pounds. so within two weeks i&#039;ve lost 10 pounds. the pill has helped curb my appetite so i&#039;m not as hungry all the time as before. i still get hungry and because i work out so often i make sure i&#039;m eating a high protien low fat/carb diet. i use my fitness pal to track what i&#039;m eating and can usually keep it under or at 1200 calories. i&#039;ve had no horrible side effects. the only thing i&#039;ve suffered from is dry mouth which is easily corrected with water."
