"i started taking phentermine in the beginning of january, my 40th birthday was april 5, i started it 206 pounds and i cannot believe that i would ever be that big. my goal by my 40th birthday was to be down to 170 pounds and i made it to 172. as of today i am 165 pounds and when i started i was considered obese. i am now only 10 pounds above being within a normal wait for my height on the bmi scale. i will be taking my son to jamaica on june 5 for his graduation! and i cannot believe the results i&#039;ve had on this medication. i&#039;m not blind to the fact that gaining the weight back is a real possibility! it scares me! but i&#039;ll pray with dedication, exercise, and learning to eat right, i will be successful! my phentermine phase is done and i will keep up the good eating and exercise"
